Nikki<\/a> from Addicted to Art<\/a>, has used Tim Holtz\u2019s Large Stems Bigz die<\/a> to create her layered card. She has incorporated lots of texture with embossing powder, texture paste, Distress Paint and ink<\/a> using Tim Holtz latticework layering stencil<\/a> and the coordinating stamp from the Lattice and Flourish stamp set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrea<\/a> made a couple of colorful cards this week using Inky Antics’ Branching Out<\/a> stamp set, Prima Tropicals<\/a> watercolors, Tim Holtz’s Gradient Dot<\/a> stencil and Echo Park’s Merry Snow<\/a> stencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a card this week, inspired by the snow flurries falling outside her window. She used the Simon Says Stamp Outline Winter Floral<\/a> stamp for the watercolor background, and the Thinking of You Heart<\/a> as a sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> continues with her Christmas inspiration! She created a festive card with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Lumberjack CMS 384<\/a>, Ranger Distress Oxide Spray Vintage Photo<\/a> and Black Soot<\/a>, Tim Holtz Sizzix Christmas Ribbon Thinlits dies<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Metallic Droplets<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> created a card for a bird loving friend to let her know she was thinking of her using a background of Distress Oxide Sprays<\/a>, Tim Holtz Lumberjack<\/a> stamps and the Tim Holtz Sizzix Patchwork Bird<\/a> die. She finished her card with a sentiment from Modern Christmas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> was inspired by a weekend of remembrance and created a project in commemoration. She used a Mini Etcetera Tag<\/a> covered with paper from the Etcetera Paper Stash<\/a> and added a Baseboard Paper Doll<\/a>, surrounded by a wreath of poppies created using Bouquet Findings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a simple card and gift tag using the Woodland Whimsy<\/a> stamp set from Simon Says Stamp November Card Kit with the “Thinking Of You at Christmas” sentiment from Tiny Words Christmas<\/a> for someone who will find Christmas difficult this year and when Merry or Happy Christmas doesn’t seem appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lols <\/a>made a card using a Aall & Create Hexagon Stem Clear Stamp<\/a> designed by Tracy Evans. As Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy Day she wanted to make that the feature for this weeks theme. She splattered the background with Dylusions London Blue<\/a> and Fresh Lime<\/a> inks and then heat embossed the image before coloring with Copic Markers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> kept her Thinking of you card in an autumnal mood by making a bouquet with Simon Says Stamp Look For The Rainbows<\/a> stamps and adding touches of Stampendous Chunky Gold Deep Impression<\/a> embossing enamel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> was thinking of her art friend, Gwen Lafleur, while she was using Gwen’s new Paper Artsy stamps Eclectica3 EGL02<\/a> and Eclectica3 EGL03<\/a> on her card. The Simon Says Stamp Thinking of You die<\/a> adds a bold statement to the card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a watercolored card using Simon Says Stamp Suzy’s Succulents Watercolor Prints<\/a> and Daniel Smith Ultimate Mixing Hand Poured Watercolor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sandra<\/a> made masculine card using lots of Washi Tape<\/a> as the base of her card, and started building up with Metallique Paint in Golden Moss<\/a>, Steampunk Copper<\/a> and Rustic Brown<\/a>. To add texture she used Nuvo Expanding Mousse<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> made this card for a friend of hers that is not doing well. She used Ranger GREETINGS Letter It Stamp Set<\/a> to create the focal point over a textured background that she made mixing Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad Pumice Stone<\/a> and Weathered Wood<\/a>. To add more texture she used Prima Marketing FINNABAIR 6 Clear Stamp<\/a> and Pentart M2 Metal Flakes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
