It\u2019s Pauline’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

Pauline<\/a> created a quirky hearts and flowers card using various products by Tracy Evans Boutique Designs<\/a>, including Snippet Stencil SS12 \u2013 Heart<\/a>, and stamps TE5 Clematis<\/a>, TE6 Branched Heart<\/a>, TE10 Quirky Birds<\/a>, TE11 Background Elements<\/a>, TE16 Artsy Alphas\/Numbers<\/a>, TE30 Garden Elements<\/a> and TE32 Alpha Florals<\/a>. The background was created using various Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inkpads<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a love-themed tag using AALL & Create’s Faded Memories Ephemera Die Cuts<\/a> for the tag itself and AALL & Create’s Rose Reverie Ephemera Die Cuts<\/a> to decorate the tag. She also used Dina Wakley’s Collage Sparks 1<\/a> for the Love sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a tag with a stenciled heart background. The background was made with the lovely Simon Says Stamp Falling In Love stencil<\/a>. The butterfly was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Butterflies stamp set <\/a>and watercolored with Distress Ink<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created two tags using various stencils and stamps from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous for the backgrounds including Love Notes CMS 477<\/a>, Watercolor CMS 217 <\/a>stamp set and Hearts<\/a> and Rays Layering Stencils<\/a>. She added Idea-Ology Salvaged Heart<\/a> colored with Ranger Ink Alcohol Inks<\/a>. The arrow in the center is cut with Sizzix Love Notes Sidekick Dies and Texture Fade<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> is feeling the love and she created a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Panel<\/a>. She used the Tim Holtz Stacked Hearts Die Set by Sizzix<\/a> to create a dimensional background before adding various idea-ology pieces including Flourish Adornments<\/a>, Floral Adornments<\/a>, Sweetheart Adorments<\/a> and completing the make with a couple from the Mini Paper Dolls pack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> used Simon Says Tucked Hearts 6″ x 6″ stamp set<\/a> to create the background, Tim Holtz Idea-ology Palette Ephemera <\/a>and sentiments from Simon Says Always and Forever 6″ x 8″ stamp set<\/a> to make a vintage inspired Valentine card, decorated with a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Word Key<\/a>, Lawn Fawn White Hemp Twine<\/a> and Trinity Stamps Creamy Vanilla Heart Sprinkles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a cute card with a couple of robots from Creative Expresions Botology Better Together <\/a>stamp set. The background was made with Tim Holtz Sign Painter<\/a> stamps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> headed to her art journal to create a heartfelt page. She used Creative Expression’s Botology Better together stamps, <\/a> along with Picket Fence’s Vintage Heart stamp<\/a>, using Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks like Mocha <\/a>and Rhubarb.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Flip Top Distress Paint<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Simon Says Stamp Lined Heart Wafer Dies<\/a> and Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Gratitude<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used a wire thread to make her little guy. She also used Tim Holtz Collage Paper<\/a> to “dress” him. The structure is Idea-Ology vignette<\/a> that she entirely covered with a mix of Texture Paste<\/a> and Grit Paste<\/a>. She added color using Distress Paint<\/a> + Spray<\/a>, then added Tack Nails<\/a> to the side as decoration and a little happiness stickers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
