Rox used a Tim Holz Mixed Media Tag as the base and colored with various colors of Distress Inks. She layered with Entomology Collage Paper and then added some Transparent Moths and Curator Snippets. She layered with Black Cardstock and machine stitched the edges to finish.

Andrea made a pair of earrings using text elements from AALL & Create’s Power Words washi tape and Simon’s Inside Greetings Birthday stamp set. She colored some beads with Tim Holtz’s Alcohol Ink and connected the elements using Tim Holtz’s Loop Pins.

Anna-Karin made a tag with a background created from old book paper. The background was painted with Distress Paint and misted with Distress Spritz Antique Linen. The bird was die cut with Simon Says Stamp Sweet Songbird and the title comes from Simon Says Stamp Simple Hello.

Cheiron used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Numbered Embossing Folder to create the background of her card. She added a big birthday cake from the Catherine Pooler Let’s Eat Cake set and cut the candles out of all the fun colors of Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Pack of cardstock. She added some fun splatter to the background using Sterling Foundry Wax.

Emma‘s project features a Stampers Anonymous Size 8 Etcetera Tag, layered over the top of an Etcetera Facade. She decided to show some love for this theme and combined the Tim Holtz Tiny Text and Curiosity Shop stamp sets and SSS co-ordinating dies as a focal point on a background of Distress Spray Stains and stencils from the Mini Layering Stencil Set 48.

Kath created a page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal using the papers, cut-outs and stickers from Stamperia Furry Friends Junk Journal along with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Script Layering Stencil and Distress Grit Paste Opague.

Macarena made a tag with a window using for the text theme the Paper Artsy Seth Apter Printed Tissue pt06 and for the background in the window, the Paper Artsy Kate Crane Stencil ps483. For the main element she fussy cut one of the birds from Brutus Monroe Cog and Feather Creative Cards.

Maura made a fun and simple ATC this week using Simon Says Stamp Oh Shiitake stamps and AALL and Create’s Just Memories stamps.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz idea-ology Pink 12 x 12 Palette Paper Collection on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology LABEL STICKERS THOUGHTS and Tim Holtz idea-ology Paper Dolls Mini.

Zoey used Tim Holtz Floral Elements Stamps with Simon Says Stamp Dies Bundle to create her cluster. She also used text layering stencil and distress oxide ink and spray stain to create her background. The little sentiment is also Tim Holtz Tiny Text Stamps with Simon Says Stamp Dies Bundle

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!

Rox used Dina Wakley Media Flower Crowns Cling Stamps along with Scribble Sticks and water to paint the image. She stamped a second floral image that once coloured she added 3D Foam Squares for extra dimension. She added some extra glimmer using Tim Holtz Distress Spritz and finished by mounting the card onto Black Card Stock and machine stitched around the edges.

Andrea used Dina Wakley paint and some watercolors to give this small notebook a bold new cover. She also used Dina’s Scribble Sticks and Tim Holtz’s Photobooth images.

Anna-Karin made a whole lot of gel printed pages and used some of them for an art journal page. The pages were done on Gelli Arts 5×7 Gel Printing Plate and with many Simon Says Stamp Embossing folders. The title was die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Alphanumeric Bulletin dies.

Cheiron used all of her favorite colors of Tim Holtz Distress Paint to create her background. She added layers with the Dotted and Digits stencils and added some dots with a white Posca pen. She finished her card with a Simon Says Stamp Whirl Fancy Leaf Die Cut, and a sentiment from the CZ Design Good Greetings 1 stamps and coordinating dies.

Kath used Tim Holtz/Ranger Picket Fence Distress Paint and Simon Says Stamp Leafy Greens 6″ x 6″ Stencil to create a resist on the background of her card and decorated with Simon Says Stamp Floral Word Builder stamps and co-ordinating dies along with Floral Word Builder Sentiments set for the sentiment.

Maura made a duo of ATC’s using watercolor, Dina Wakley acrylic paints in Peacock and Radical, and Tracy Evan’s Quirky Birds stamps.

Meihsia was inspired to create a watercolor birthday card using Rainbow Splash Cardstock Rainbow Pack as the card base, then Stamped the card with Simon Says Stamps and Dies Cottagecore set, and colored it with it with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi 24 COLOR Set.

Zoey created this mini book used Distress Paint for her background and Tim Holtz Tiny Things Stamps with Simon Says Stamp Dies Bundle. She inked up the edges with Distress Ink and bits of collage paper and ideaology embellishments
