It’s Ann’s last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)

Ann stamped the images using Tim Holtz SNARKY CAT and CRAZY THINGS stamp sets. Using Simon Says Stamp Crazy Things Wafer Dies to cut out the accessories. For the background, I used Distress Ink squeezed lemonade, Distress Embossing Glaze Fossilized Amber, and Distress Ink Uncharted Mariner. 

Andrea made a tag using Dina Wakley’s new Scribbly Bears stamp set. She used Waffle Flower’s Nested Tags die set for the background tag and added some colorful scribbles using Dylusions Intense Colour Caykes and Sticks. She made a funky edge at the bottom with AALL & Create’s Tear it Out die set.

Anna-Karin made a card with a fun dog from Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs stamp set. The sentiments come from Simon Says Stamp Mandala Blossoms and the background was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Pepita Background stamp.

Barbara chose the fabulous cat from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Mini Halloween CMS 093 stamp set as the four-legged friend. The background was created with various Ranger Distress Ink pads together with the Shattered CMS466 stamp. On the moon, she used Ranger Snowflakes (Glitter + Mica Flakes)

Cheiron created a Halloween card with the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Snarky Cats Halloween stamps. She placed her cat on a background of Distress Inks in Wilted Violet and Salvaged Patina. She stamped and colored her images and cut them out with her Tim Holtz Mini Recoil Scissors and layered them all together.

Kath fell down the cute rabbit hole and made a birthday card using the adorable Tim Holtz/Sizzix Oliver Colorize Thinlits, Simon Says Mosaic Petals Layering Stencils and Ear-resisitibly Cute stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

Macarena made a tag using Tim Holtz Mr. Rabbit stamp set and heat embossed the rabbit with Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Powder. She used several bright colors of Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide Inks to add a bit of fun to the design.  

Maura was inspired by the state fair to create her own “animal farm.” She used the Tim Holtz Funny Farm stamps, Tim Holtz Deconstructed stamps, and added Simon Says Stamp White Splatter

Meihsia was inspired to create a card using Simon Says Clear Stamps The Little Things and Tsukineko VersaFine ONYX BLACK Ink Pad on the background, and colored it with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET B Markers.

Zoey created these two ATCs using the Snarky Halloween Cat stamp set. For the backgrounds, she blended Distress Ink with Distress Oxide Ink, added splatters with Distress Oxide Spray, and finished them off with Cello Tape accents.

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!
