This week we’re welcoming the lovely Kerry B   into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Kerry recycled a die cut Spellbinders Dancin’ Birthday Dragon from an earlier card. For the background she used Distress Oxide Sprays and Inks, and then stamped polka dots from a Tim Holtz Mr Rabbit Cling Stamp Set and splattered with Dina Wakely White Gesso. She then sprayed with Worn Lipstick and Picked Paspberry Distress Spritz through the Brutus Monroe Vortex Stencil. She finished with a Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Birthday Sentiment and clear sequins. The whole panel was mounted on recycled corrugated cardboard to add more depth.

Andrea recycled some thin scrap metal into earrings decorated with Brutus Monroe’s Circus Life Paper. She put her earrings together with the help of Dina Wakley’s Ultra Thick Gel Medium, Tim Holtz’s Loop Pins and her trusty Crop-A-Dile.

Anna-Karin made a tag from recycled cardboard. The background was made with Brutus Monroe Slimline Lots of Lines stencil. The leaves were die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Foliage Wreath from left-over paper and the buttons are recycled from old clothing.

Barbara created a trio of Halloween ATCs by recycling some Idea-Ology packages to create the background for her project. She added the three cute ghosts from the Spooky Spirits set by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous. She used Brutus Monroe Cinnamon Sugar embossing powder and the Layering Stencil Jacks to color the little pumpkins and Ranger Texture Paste Black Opaque for the stars and bats.

Kath created a Ghostly Halloween Party Banner from old music CD’s using Brutus Monroe Watercolor Galaxy patterned paper and Alabaster Ultra Fine White Embossing Powder, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Spooky Spirits/Boo Crazy stamp sets and Batty Layering Stencil.

Macarena recycled a corrugated paper which she embossed in gold with Brutus Monroe Gilded Ultra Fine Embossing Powder and a dress label that was painted with Distress Paint Scorched Timber. The composition was built on the biggest Tim Holtz Sizzix Framed Tags and the focal point is one of the rosettes from the fantastic Prima Marketing Red, White and Blue mould.

Maura recycled an Amazon bag into a little tag book. She used Brutus Monroe’s Playful Pattern papers, his Adhesive Shaker Pouch, and Aqua Pigments like Wicked Witch. She filled the pouch with sequins and beads, including Simon Says Stamp’s Sea Glass Sequins.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Brutus Monroe Succulent & Cactus Stamp & Die Set on the background, and decorated it with Prima Marketing Rusty Metal Clips Art Daily Planner and Tim Holtz idea-ology Quote Chip Labels. 

Zoey used cardboard as the base of her tag. She also used Distress Crayons to add texture to her background and also Mica Stain to add some more shine. To decorate the tag she used Ideaology Portraits and Ephemera

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!
