Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge--ANYTHING GOES

(Note: For my My Favorite Things Wed Sketch Challenge post, please click here or scroll down.)

 It's my last week in the Designer Spotlight over at Simon Says Stamp 
Wednesday Challenge.

This week the challenge theme is the ever popular ANYTHING GOES. The sponsor
is Art Impressions and by now you know that you don't have to use Art Impressions
products, but if you have them, then feel free to use them!

 For my project, I decided to work with products from previous weeks' sponsors:
Hero Arts, Concord & 9th, and Clearly Besotted.

I began by coloring the koi with Copic markers, after seeing this koi (by dobie256)
in the Flickr gallery. Watercolor card stock was ink distressed and I stamped the tree
ring with water, then spattered water over the inking.

The koi was adhered to the card and I pulled up the head, fins, and tail to give it
some dimension. I finished off the card with the sentiment and some sequins.

Visit today's post at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for all
the details and deadlines for this week's challenge and link up your projects.

The random winner will win a $50 gift voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store!

Ginormous thanks to Lols for the Designer Spotlight invitation. I had such a wonderful
time and can't thank you enough, and the rest of the team, for your gracious hospitality ♥

 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge--ADD A SENTIMENT

Welcome back to a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! This week,

the challenge is to ADD A SENTIMENT and the featured company is Clearly Besotted.

You don't have to use Clearly Besotted products to enter the challenge, but if 

you have them, we'd love to see them on your projects!

I chose Clearly Besotted's Tickle My Fancy stamp set and white embossed

different feathers on watercolor card stock. I ink distressed over the feathers in

green and blue distress inks then spattered water and white paint.

The panel was trimmed and adhered to a gray card base. I added a strip of 

black and white diagonal striped paper and white embossed the sentiment on

a piece of black card stock. I rounded off the corners of the sentiment strip

and popped it up on the card. Clear sequins finished off the card.
