Tracy made a 5×7 piece of artwork to display in her studio. She used Weird Science, Scribbly Butterflies, Tim Holtz Layering Stencil, Dot Fade Stencil, and Idea-ology Gears Hardware.

Andrea used a steampunk-inspired quote for her tag, which was made with Dina Wakley’s Collaged Girls stamp set, Jane Davenport’s Mermaid Markers, some Tim Holtz Fabric Tape and Label Tape as well as the Sizzix Framelits Tag Collection die set.

Anna-Karin made a steampunk gnome tag. The background was done with the Simon Says Stamp Reverse Crackle Background stamp and the gnome comes from the Spring Gnomes set. A few odds and ends finished the tag.

Barbara combined the theme of the week with her current favorite theme, Halloween. She made two tags using Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Renaissance and  Weird Science stamps set. She colored her projects with Distress Ink Pad Wilted Violet, Crackling Campfire adding at the top two Creepy eyes by Idea-ology.

Cheiron created a tag with a background of Distress Oxide Sprays including Speckled Egg. She stamped lots of images from the Ladies and Gentleman stamp set using Distress Archival Inks and finished her tag with some Mini Gears and Sprocket Gears and a Quote Chip attached with Hardware Heads.

Emma created a size 8 Etcetera tag full of layers and dimension to showcase the stunning Entomology Adornments by Tim Holtz. She surrounded the bug with a cascade of gears made to look rusty using Distress Translucent Grit Paste, Distress Paints and Metallic Distress Crayons.

Kath created a page for her Art Journal using Distress Crackling Campfire and Speckled Egg with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Gears Layering Stencil and Specimen Stamp Set, Ephemera from the Idea-ology Curiosities Sticker Book, Specimen Remnant Rubs and Hardware Heads.

Lols decided to get all inky and grungy and had lots of fun decorating an Etcetera Mini Tag using the new Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide Ink along with a Tim Holtz Inventor 7 Cling Stamp and an Ideaology Baseboard Doll

Macarena made a one layer card using Couture Creations Gears and Butterflies huge stamp, stitched it and colored with some deep shading. She applied Prima Marketing Oriental Wall stencil on the background and Tim Holtz Dapper stamp in the corners.

Maura came across a Kraken collecting treasure, and turned it into a canvas, using Stamperia’s Sea World Soft Mold and Sea World papers, along with Simon Says Stamp Old Letter stamp from the STAMPtember collection.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media Halloween tag using Stamperia Sea World Paper on the background and decorated it with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Monstrous and Prima Marketing Rusty Knobs Finnabair Mechanical.

Sandra is in full Halloween mode and made a card using the Professor stamp set and transforming him into a creepy vampire. She used Distress Ink Ripe Persimmon, Rusty Hinge and Black Soot, and Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke to create the background and used Distress Reinkers to color the Professor in.

Zoey used tons of Distress Paint to create the background of this tag. She also used Distress Grit Paste and Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps 2020 ANATOMY CHART CMS411 to add some more interest in the background. The Tim Holtz Idea-ology VELLUM HAUNTS th94075 is perfect as main focus on this tag!

We have 3 artists in the Designer Spotlight for the Frame It Challenge!

#98 A.Pink – Maura says: The rich colors of Amanda’s mixed media art panel are gorgeous!! The dimensional butterfly is amazing, and I love how she echoes the colors of the butterfly in the background. The rusty frame around the butterfly is the perfect contrast to all that glorious color!

#8 Nicoscrap – Kath says: I love the beautifully coloured Monster Reunion image and the use of the Idea-ology Baroque Frame to create a portrait hanging on a crackled grungy wall, perhaps, in a Haunted Mansion.

#61 sbv.book arts– Lols loves the whole design of this bookmark. The background is gorgeous, beautiful colors, and the typewriter and text are fabulous! Love the photo staging too, perfectly presented!
