It\u2019s Estelle’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

Estelle<\/a> made a Halloween card with the new Tim Holtz Trick or Treat Die Set<\/a>. For the background she used Ranger Alcohol Ink<\/a> on Yupo Paper<\/a>. The skeleton, the spider web and the sentiment are stamped with the Tim Holtz Trick of Treat Cling Stamps<\/a> and  Archival Inks.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made number file cards with bright bold background colors and patterns. She used a few things from Tim Holtz: his Big Number Blocks stamp set<\/a>, the Sizzix Specimen die set<\/a>, and his Dotted stencil<\/a>. She also used Dina Wakley’s Scribble Sticks, set 1<\/a> and set 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a background with Tim Holtz Ornate stencil<\/a>, texture paste<\/a>, Distress Paint and Stickles Glitter Gel<\/a>. She used left-over Distress Ink background to die cut Simon Says Stamp Etched Magnolia<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created the background of her Halloween invite ticket using Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Exquisite CMS453 stamp set<\/a>, Damask Crest Layering Stencil in mini version Set 53<\/a>, Tim Holtz Sizzix Masquerade Thinlits Die<\/a>, Tim Holtz Sizzix Damask 3D Embossing Folder<\/a>, Ranger Ink Distress Grit Paste Crypt<\/a> and Distress Mica Stain set 4.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> created a fun Halloween tag with a bright background created with Tim Holtz Distress Texture Paste <\/a>through the Halloween Script<\/a> stencil. She sprayed the dried paste with Distress Mica Stains<\/a> in all the colors of Halloween. She added a Halloween Paper Doll<\/a> and some Ephemera<\/a>. To finish her tag she added a sentiment from the Baseboards<\/a> pack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> invites you to Mr Bones’<\/a> Halloween dance party and created the background on her tag<\/a> by applying Translucent Crackle Paste<\/a> through the Crest Layering Stencil<\/a> before she spritzed Distress Spray Stains<\/a> and hints of Mica Stain<\/a> over the top. She added Fringe<\/a> and Confections<\/a> to complete the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created quick and easy backgrounds using Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Moon Mask Stencils<\/a> and Distress Mica Stains, Sets 3 and 4<\/a>.

Macarena<\/a> had a lot of fun playing with Tim Holtz Brushstrokes<\/a> stamp set while making her background. She used a mix of Distress Oxide<\/a> shades of green. For the focal point she chose one of the Tim Holtz Botanic Collage<\/a> flower which she embossed with Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Powder Fine Detail<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> created a very colorful background using Simon Says Stamp’s Pawsitively Saturated Reinkers Set 2, <\/a> Canson Watercolor paper<\/a>, and used her background to make a card with Tim Holtz’s Mischievous Cats dies.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using The Crafter’s Workshop WHITE MODELING PASTE<\/a> and Tim Holtz Flip Top Distress Paint EVERGREEN BOUGH Range<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Stamperia LADY VAGABOND LIFESTYLE Clear Die Cuts<\/a> and Stamperia ATELIER DES ARTS Die Cuts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used the new stamp set Gothic Tapestry<\/a> as main focus of her tag. She also used Distress Ink Oxide Spray<\/a> and Spray Stain<\/a> to color the background. She added crackle texture<\/a> through Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Crackle<\/a>. To decorate the Tag she used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Halloween Label Stickers<\/a>, Curiosities Sticker Book<\/a> and Black Tinsel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
