Natasha created an ATC using a variety of Distress Inks, Oxides, as well as Distress Spray Stains. She added foil to her background for added shine and texture, the foil was adhered using Ranger sticky embossing powder. She added the Whirl Butterflies and finished with a Small Talk sentiment and white splatters.

Andrea made a notebook cover using Kate Crane’s quirky girl image from her KCM017 stamp. She also used Kate Crane’s PS467 stencil and added lots of fun colors with a watercolor paint set and Distress Watercolor Pencils.

Anna-Karin made an art journal page with butterflies and dragonflies. The butterflies were stamped on vellum with Simon Says Stamp Beautiful and Curious and Big Botanicals stamp sets. The page was done in Ranger Dylusions Small Creative Journal.

Barbara created a series of ATCs using various stamp sets from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous! For the background, she used the Weathered Textiles cms023 set. The butterflies are from the Botanic Collage cms447, Stamps Classics #1, and Stamps Classics #17 sets. For coloring, she chose Ranger Ink Distress Ink Pad and Distress Mica Stain.

Cheiron created an Etcetera Panel using the Simon Says Stamp Angel Wings stencils and coordinating dies. She layered these onto a panel covered with Dina Wakley Typed Media Ledgers and gesso. She completed her project with a Tim Holtz Salvaged Heart.

Emma created an Etcetera Tag and used the Sizzix Funky Insects Die Set by Tim Holtz as her focal point for “things with wings”. She layered the insect onto a combination of an idea-ology Optic Frame and Label Frame before adding stamped imagery from the Stampers Anonymous Mail Art stamp set.

Kath created a card to celebrate the feathered friends who live in her garden and provide year round entertainment with their aerial acrobats around the bird feeders. She used Tim Holtz/Sizzix Feathered Friends Thinlits, Idea-ology Serendipity Collage Paper and Mummy Cloth, Simon Says Stamp Birdies Wafer Die and Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Note Quotes for the sentiment.

Macarena made a light and clear card using as a base Tim Holtz Distress Cracked Leather Cardstock and stamped tje giant butterfly from Tim Holtz Specimen set. She added dimension with fussy cut leaves of Paper Artsy Kate Crane Mini Stamp and a layered tag from Elizabeth Crafts Designs Tag Variety Pack dies.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Papillon and Simon Says Stamp Papillon Wafer Dies.

Zoey used Tim Holtz Papillon Stamps with Simon Says Stamp Dies Bundle to decorate her tag. She also used Distress Oxide Spray ink and Distress Spray Stain for her background. Ideaology ephemera were a great combination to finish off the tag

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
