Simon Says it's a Guy Thing #2

First time doing a SSS challenge and it's to use Tim Holtz.  I only have his distress inks.  So when I saw this card on Pinterest - I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  I made two cards using that card as my inspiration.  On one background, I used TH Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed Distress Inks, the other one is TH Spice Marmalade and Picked Raspberry.

 

The flowers are Altenew Painted Flowers (love this set) using PTI Fresh Snow, PTI Orange Zest and then Memento Black.

MIM #195 - A la carte

I decided to use the MIM from Betsy with the Artsy Watercolor Background for this challenge.  I used the Rosie Posie Stamp Set and then used a waterbrush to pull the color out. Here's what I ended up with:

Altenew December Challenge

So, I discovered this amazing, relatively new company - Altenew.  Right away, I new I had to get their Painted Flowers stamp set.  With their December Challenge, I knew I wanted to use a yellow ink with kraft ink over it - can't remember where I saw this (love the look).

MIM# 182: Mason Jar Stamping

I absolutely loved this week's MIM at Papertrey Ink by Melissa Phillips! Here's my take on the challenge.

I used Polka Dots Basics and embossed them in gold - it was a little tricky; but I'm happy with the results.  I added some sequins to the dots to add a little more interest and then embellished the jar with snowflakes and holly.

MIM# 174: Wallpaper Stamping

This weeks' Make it Monday Challenge is Wallpaper Stamping.  When I saw the challenge, I thought of using the damask on smokey shadow with clear embossing powder.  I then added the label from celebrations and flowers from beautiful brushstokes.

MIM #152: Layering Dye and Pigment Inks

This is a new technique for me and I really enjoyed seeing the process and how the lettering shown through on the butterflies.  I will definitely be doing this more often!  Here is my card:
