Color Throwdown #499 using Distress Resist Spray

Happy Monday!

I have my submission for the Color Throwdown Challenge #499.

The colors this week are yellow, green and blue.

I had gotten the Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray in the Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit.

I read on the label about using with a stencil and I just had to try it.

I used the box that the card kit came in to spray paper. I still got some overspray on my mat but luckily it is glass and able to remove. 

Make sure to instantly wash off the stencil after spraying. 

I then ink blended on top with Distress Oxides in 

Squeezed Lemonade, Lucky Clover and Blueprint Sketch.

I used a clean paper towel to buff off the ink on the splatter parts to make sure showed up with the white. 

I then stamped the You from the SSS You Matter stamp set and heat embossed with some Wow embossing powder in black. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Valentines Day card Using SSS More Spring Flowers stamp set

Happy Monday!!

Today I am showing the "Galentines" Day Card for my awesome Mother in Law. To be honest I hate the term MIL cause...she's more than that...she is just my Mom.

I tried looking through my You Tube history and just couldn't find the video I watched to give credit. 

I saw someone do a technique of using Distress ink on a background and then place a stencil over it to then distress more of the same color over it to create a tone on tone look. 

I just had to recreate it my way. 

I used the following inks from the top to bottom.

Distress Inks:

Candied Apple

Worn Lipstick

Abandoned Coral

Spun Sugar

The stencil I used is the SSS Diamond Circles Stencil. 

The flowers are from the SSS More Spring Flowers stamp set. I heat embossed the images with white embossing powder and watercolored with the same distress inks. 

I created the sentiment in the Silhouette Studio software and inked up with the Candied Apple Distress Ink. 

I couldn't leave well enough alone and also added some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Grey Mist which really just accents the color underneath. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope to see you next time!

Color Throwdown #461 featuring Crazy Dogs stamp set

Hey All,

It has been a while since my last post and I apologize. My MacBook Pro is causing me to go crazy cause the screen is not working. I am using a Windows laptop till I can try to fix it and I am just not used to it.

I do tech support for cellphones as my day job and have patience all day. When it comes to me and a computer....I have none!

Anywho... here is my submission for this weeks Color Throwdown #461.

The colors this week were Purple, Green, Yellow and Orange. Those colors scream Halloween to me.

I used a Simon Says Stamp Diamond Circles Stencil and ink blened with Distress Inks, I used Carved Pumpkin , Wilted Violet, Mustard Seed and Lucky Clover.

All of the Elements and Sentiment are from the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Dogs, Crazy Things and Crazy Talk Stamp Sets. I colored all the images with the same Distress Ink Color plus Black Soot.

Thank you so much for coming by and see you next time!!
