My version of Tim's tags of 2015 - June

Better throw it in the bin.... the stamp I mean :-)

ATC shaving cream background

Made for Lost Coast Challenge #12: ATC

I made a background with shaving cream and Distress re-inkers.
Cut into atc size pieces.
Stamped very lightly the forest background not to disturb the colorful background, and at the front my favorite birdie :-)

Stoere jongen

Voor AJC #57: gebruik stempels van één Art Journey sheet of max 2 losse stempels.

Ik heb -zoals gezien op het Art Specially Event -  Dylusions inkt (After Midnght & Vibrant Turquoise) op het craftsheet gesprayed en daar de stempel van de stoere jongen mee beïnkt.

Wel een paar keer afgedrukt voordat de print er goed uit kwam te zien, het was nogal aan de natte kant, tja, alles moet leren :-)

En route

Katzelkraft May Challenge : use the same stamp 3 times

Happy happy me, I won the April Challenge :-)

This is what I made for this months challenge:

Lost in the maze

Stampotique Designers Challenge SDC194 : Stencils

Dropped several colours distress re-inker in some shaving cream  and wiped it through a stencil onto the paper.
Then gently wiped off the excess shaving cream.
Actually you should dab off the excess instead of wiping to avoid smearing, but I am as usual not patient enough :-)
But this one I think turned out quite nicely.

Your wings are ready

Seek Paradise

Made for Viva Las Vegastamps April Challenge.

Then took a little bit purple Brusho, spritzed some water over and let dry.
Then sponged with archival magenta hue and distress dusty concord.
Stamped the images with archival black, and sponged some dusty concord on the bottom.
It looks like the tiny stars were glued on, but they are punched out before I glued the card on a white piece of cardstock (doesn't look white on the scan though).
Then I matted it all on purple cardstock.
