Laura made a steampunk style card using a Stamperia 12 x 12″ Alchemy Paper Pack along with Lady Vagabond Lifestyle Die Cuts.

Andrea made a layer-rich page layout using Studio Light’s Creative Journal. She also used Dina Wakley’s Dotted Tape stencil, AALL & Create’s Majestic Borders dies, and 49 and Market’s Kaleidoscope Washi Tape Roll.

Anna-Karin made a shabby chic card with lots of layers. The card was created almost entirely with left-over bits and pieces. The circles were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Thin Frames and the title with Simon Says Stamp Scripty Hello. The leaves comes from Simon Says Stamp Tattered Leaves and Budding Branches.

Cheiron created a mixed media card with ink, stenciling and Distress Spritz layers. She used Distress Inks and then stencil over her first layer using the Tim Holtz Deco Floral and Mosaic Layering Stencils using DIstress Oxides. She added an image from the Media Marks 2 and a sentiment from the Abstract Florals stamp set. She finished her card with Distress Spritz in Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick and Peacock Feathers.

Kath created a collage card with lots of layers using Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Backdrops Volume 5, Large Collage Strips, Serendipity Collage Paper, Postmarked Sticker Book, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Deco Floral Mini Layering Stencil from Set 60, Abstract Florals stamp set die-cut with Simon Says Abstract Florals dies and used Simon Says Graceful Flowers and co-ordinating dies for the sentiment.

Macarena made this vintage looking card using a lovely floral paper from Tim Holtz Ideaology Halloween Backdrops and coloured the tiny leaves to add some freshness. Then she composed the main panel by embossing it with Tim Holtz Sizzix Tapestry Embossing Folder and she embellished it with Abstract Florals and ferns by Hero Arts Mushroom and Ferns.

Maura loves to read and talk about books with friends. She made a folio book to keep track of summer reading using Tim Holtz’s Folio Folders, Tim’s Idea-ology File Cards 2, Tim Holtz Collage Papers Archives, and some ink smooshing with Simon Says Stamp’s Pawsitively Saturated Ocean ink.

Meihsia  was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Peacock Feathers Ranger on the background, and layered the embellishments with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Transparent Thinga and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Stitched Scraps Embellishments.

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!
