Pauline<\/a> created a magical sunrise scene using Lavinia Aurora<\/a>, Wild Summer Flowers<\/a>, Leaf Spray<\/a>, Fairy Bell Set<\/a>, Flower Collection<\/a>, Silhouette Grass<\/a> and Bird Collection<\/a> stamped with various Versafine Clair and Versafine inkpads<\/a>. The background was made using blended Distress Oxide inks (Squeezed Lemonade<\/a>, Fossilized Amber<\/a>, Spiced Marmalade<\/a>, Ripe Persimmon<\/a> and Barn Door<\/a>) and Lavinia Acetate Circle Mask<\/a>, and sparkle added using Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Meteor<\/a> and Galaxy<\/a> gel pens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a tag celebrating rain. The tag is made out of Ranger Kraft Heavystock<\/a> and was cut with the Tim Holtz Tag Collection die set<\/a>. She used Dina Wakley’s Side Eye stamp set<\/a> for the main image and collaged the background out of Spellbinders’ Florals Palette Paper<\/a> and Dina Wakley’s Ledger Paper, Set 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made an art journal page to remember the past week’s weather. One day it was spring and the next day everything was covered with a very thick layer of snow. She used Simon Says Stamp Four Flakes<\/a> and Tumbling Leaves stencils<\/a> for the background. The circle was made from a stamped piece of Simon Says Stamp Clear Acetate Sheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> was inspired by the clouds to create her tag. She used two sets of stamps by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous: Bubbles<\/a>, for the background, and Observations<\/a>. The clouds are from Christmas Cutouts Thinlits dies by Tim Holtz Sizzix<\/a>. She choose to color her project with Distress Ink Pad Salvaged Patina<\/a>, Picked Raspberry<\/a>, Cracked Pistachio<\/a> and Shaded Lilac<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> is ready for sunshine and rainbows! She created a card using the sun from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Circle Play<\/a> dies and the clouds from Christmas Cutouts<\/a> dies. She added them over a Distress Ink<\/a> Blended panel with some splatter and a simple sentiment from the Stampers Anonymous Noteworthy <\/a>set.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> is looking forward to some sunny days ahead and she made a card using Tim Holtz dies from Sizzix. She combined the Gentlemen Thinlits Die Set<\/a> with the huge sun from Circle Play<\/a> and the luggage and clouds from the Road Trip Colorize Die Set<\/a> to create a scene that was layered over a background, stamped using The Professor 2 stamp set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a card with a rainy day background using Tim Holtz\/Ranger Dura Lar Clear Transparent Sheets<\/a> with Alcohol Inks<\/a>, Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Distinguished<\/a> and Dapper<\/a> stamp sets, Alcohol Lift-Ink<\/a> and decorated with Tim Holtz\/Sizzix BrushStroke Flowers Mini<\/a> Thinlits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lols <\/a>was inspired by the snowstorms affecting the US and UK and made a card using a Katzelkraft Windy Day Rubber Stamp<\/a>. She masked the image and used Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink<\/a> and a piece of bubble wrap to add color and then used a Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil<\/a> and Ranger Opaque Matte Texture Paste<\/a> to add the blizzard. She added some machine stitching, Design Tape<\/a> and finished with a Tim Holtz Small Talk Sticker.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a wintery card since there is still a plenty of snow in Poland. She made a snowy scene using Tim Holtz Sizzix Alpine<\/a> and Tree Line<\/a> dies. The chunky snow was made with Cosmic Shimmer Snow Storm embosing sprinkles<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> had fun creating her cheery, fun tag from Art by Marlene Studio Light Funny <\/a>Tags<\/u><\/span><\/font> painted with Dina Wakley Acrylic Paints like Lemon <\/a>and Magenta.<\/a> Then she added a gentleman with an umbrella, ready for any weather, using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Gentlemen Thinlits die.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a watercolored wall art using Studio Light MY GIRLS Clear Stamps ABM Mixed-Up Collection<\/a> on the background, colored it with Daniel Smith Watercolor<\/a>, and decorated it with Stamperia ALCHEMY 12×12 Paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
