It is Kerstin’s<\/a>  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 :-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerstin <\/a>made a fabulous home decor frame using Tim Holtz Sizzix BOTANICAL 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder,<\/a> Tim Holtz Idea-ology DECO FRAMES Adornments <\/a>and a Tim Holtz Sizzix FRIENDSHIP WORDS SCRIPT Thinlits Die.<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Andrea<\/a> never has trouble using bright colors!  She made some encouragement tags using Heffy Doodle’s Tag Along dies<\/a> and Tim Holtz’s Cityscape Skyline dies<\/a> and his Salvaged Design Tape<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a bright and cheerful tag, using almost only scrap papers. The flowers were die cut with Tim Holtz’s Funky Floral 1<\/a> and 2<\/a> sets, and the bigger sentiment comes from his Life Quotes <\/a>stamp set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Barbara<\/a> was inspired by the tropical fish, they are so bright and cheerful!! She created an Etcetera tag<\/a> with  Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous  Sea life stamp set<\/a>, Ranger Yupo White<\/a>, a lot of Ranger Alcohol inks<\/a> and Blizzard embossing powder by Seth Apter. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> created a mixed media panel with some of her favorite bright Ranger Alcohol Inks on a Ranger Alcohol Ink Hard Core Art Panel<\/a>. She embellished the panel with a Tim Holtz Sizzix Faceted Heart<\/a> die, a Quote Chip<\/a> and a Baseboard Frame<\/a>. She finished the panel off by spraying Distress Resist Spray<\/a> and embossing it with Ranger Gold Embossing Powder<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emma’s<\/a> used Sublime<\/a>, Alchemy<\/a>, Tranquil<\/a> and Villainous<\/a> Alcohol Pearls to create a bright and cheerful background for her canvas panel. She then added a focal point of a butterfly, stamped using Tim Holtz’s Flutter stamp set<\/a> and placed to gently flutter across the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> created a Bright and Cheerful page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal<\/a> using Distress Oxide inks<\/a> with Splotches Mini Layering Stencil<\/a>, Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Media Marks 1, <\/a>Blockprint<\/a> and Sizzix Alphanumeric CutOut Lower Thinlits<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> made a botanical card using colorful butterflies from Visible Image Wings of Change<\/a> set and she placed them in between Tim Holtz Sizzix Large Stems<\/a> colored with Prima Marketing Metallique Dragonfly Acrylic Paint<\/a>. She gave a final touch with CZ Design Believe In You<\/a> stamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> loves bright colors, and was inspired by the colors of the Holi Festival in India, to color her elephant from Pink Ink Designs<\/a> with Daniel Smith Watercolors like Opera Pink<\/a> and Perinone Orange<\/a>, on a background made with Finnabair’s Swirly Florals stencil <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Etcetera #8 Tag Chipboard<\/a> and embellished it with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps 2019 Eclectic Adverts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sandra<\/a> was inspired by the animated series from the 80’s She-Ra the Princess of Power and used the lady from the Fairy Garden mould<\/a> as her princess and she colored her with Opal Magic Paint Yellow Pink<\/a> and Rose Gold<\/a>, and for the brightful colors she used almost all of the Nuvo Shimmer Powders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
