This is Cath’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 having you along with us :-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cath<\/a> created a page in her journal, celebrating the relationships in her life with ‘chaotic’ Visible Image stamps<\/a>, and the wonderful Aall and Create Totally Dotty A4 Stencil.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a tag notebook featuring some fabulous circles made using Elizabeth Craft Designs’ Bubbles die<\/a>, Paper Artsy’s EM60<\/a> stamp, Tim Holtz’s Abandoned<\/a> paper, and Dina Wakley’s Collage Collective<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a tag with circle shakers. The six circles were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Repeating Circles<\/a> die and the shaker window was filled with Tim Holtz Mica Flakes<\/a>. The snail comes from the SSS Under The Sea Animals set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> this week had much fun playing with different kinds of circles! She created an Etcetera tag using Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Stencil Screwed<\/a>, Mini stencil set 3<\/a>, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Ordinary<\/a>, a lot of Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Sprays Stain<\/a>, Distress Micro Glaze<\/a>, Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze Peeled Paint<\/a> and Fossilized Amber<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Ch<\/a>eiron<\/a> used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Stacked Circles<\/a> dies to highlight her stamped Inventor 7 <\/a>image. She stamped the image on a background inked with Pumice Stone<\/a> and Speckled Egg<\/a> Distress Spray stains and also stamped in bright colors of Distress Oxide Sprays<\/a> onto Black watercolor cardstock which she cut with the circles. She finished her card with a Baseboard Doll <\/a>and a Quote Chip<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> can never have too much happy when using her favourite shape, circles and she created a Size 8 Etcetera tag<\/a>, with a cascade of suspended circles created using the Sizzix Stacked Circles thinlits die by Tim Holtz<\/a>. She added texture with Translucent Grit Paste<\/a> and Embossing Glazes before creating a focal point using the Funky Wreath die<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created an Art Journal Page in her Dina Wakley Media Journal<\/a> using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Typeset Collage Paper<\/a>, Splotches<\/a> and Halftone<\/a> Layering Stencils and Distress Crayons<\/a> on the background and decorated with Idea-ology Urban Layers Ephemera<\/a>, a Baseboard Doll<\/a> and Clippings Sticker Book<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lols <\/a>made a circular card using a Tim Holtz Large Stems Flower<\/a> for the focus. For the background she used Distress Oxide Inks <\/a>and a Darkroom Door Circles Stencil<\/a>, and a few splatters of Dylusions Inks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a card using earth tones for coloring Simon Says Stamp Circle Doodle Background stamp<\/a> and a beautiful leaf from Tim Holtz Sizzix Large Stems Bigz<\/a> die as a focal point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> made a steampunk style birthday card for her son, using the new Tim Holtz Distress Glazes in Broken China<\/a>, Fossilized Amber<\/a> and Rusty Hinge<\/a>, and altered some Clock and Hands chipboard from Stamperia.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Sea World Paper<\/a> on Tim Holtz Etcetera #8 Tag Chipboard<\/a> and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Quote Chips<\/a> and Mini Gears Sprockets<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sandra<\/a> is totally in love with the Minc<\/a> foil technique with the Distress Resist Spray<\/a>, she even used the Simon Says Stamp Ring Frame die<\/a> as a stamp, but used it also as a die, and give the circles and the background color with Distress Ink Stormy Sky<\/a>, Peacock Feathers<\/a>, Vintage Photo<\/a> and Distress Oxide Stormy Sky<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used a combination of Distress Paint<\/a> and Distress Crayon<\/a> to create her background. For the circles she used mixed paper Simon Says Stamp Embossing 50 Pack COFFEE FILTERS<\/a> , Distress Watercolor Paper<\/a>, Tim Holtz DISTRESS SPECIALTY STAMPING PAPER Ranger TDA42099<\/a> and Plain Collage Paper<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
