Rox<\/a> used Dina Wakley Media Flower Crowns Cling Stamps<\/a> along with Scribble Sticks<\/a> and water to paint the image. She stamped a second floral image that once coloured she added 3D Foam Squares<\/a> for extra dimension. She added some extra glimmer using Tim Holtz Distress Spritz<\/a> and finished by mounting the card onto Black Card Stock<\/a> and machine stitched around the edges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrea<\/a> used Dina Wakley paint<\/a> and some watercolors<\/a> to give this small notebook a bold new cover. She also used Dina’s Scribble Sticks<\/a> and Tim Holtz’s Photobooth<\/a> images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a whole lot of gel printed pages and used some of them for an art journal page. The pages were done on Gelli Arts 5×7 Gel Printing Plate<\/a> and with many Simon Says Stamp Embossing folders.<\/a> The title was die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Alphanumeric Bulletin dies.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> used all of her favorite colors of Tim Holtz Distress Paint<\/a> to create her background. She added layers with the Dotted <\/a>and Digits <\/a>stencils and added some dots with a white Posca <\/a>pen. She finished her card with a Simon Says Stamp Whirl Fancy Leaf<\/a> Die Cut, and a sentiment from the CZ Design Good Greetings 1 <\/a>stamps and coordinating dies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> used Tim Holtz\/Ranger Picket Fence Distress Paint<\/a> and Simon Says Stamp Leafy Greens 6″ x 6″ Stencil <\/a>to create a resist on the background of her card and decorated with Simon Says Stamp Floral Word Builder stamps and co-ordinating dies<\/a> along with Floral Word Builder Sentiments set<\/a> for the sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a watercolor birthday card using Rainbow Splash Cardstock Rainbow Pack<\/a> as the card base, then Stamped the card with Simon Says Stamps and Dies Cottagecore set<\/a>, and colored it with it with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi 24 COLOR Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
