Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
This week the challenge is: SUMMER GARDEN!
Summer is a wonderful season to enjoy your garden, the weather is warm enough to sit outside and relax, invite friends over for barbecues and enjoy picnics on the grass. We can’t wait to see what creations you make for this challenge!
This week we are showcasing products from PAPER ARTSY, if you have them we would love to see them used but you don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge.
The lovely and super talented Alison Bomber aka Words And Pictures is joining us in the Designer Spotlight this month. If you haven’t seen her blog you are in for a real treat! Please pop by to say ‘Hi’ and leave her a lovely comment!
Per questa sfida ho preparato una card con un piccolo giardino ma.... arrigginito! Sì perchè Paper Artsy ha un prodotto RUSTING POWDER che si adatta bene al mio continuo desiderio di sperimentare novità! Vi ho preparato un piccolo tutorial per farvi vedere come si utilizza!
My summer garden is a rusty garden! To achieve this effect I used Paper Artsy Rusting Powder and Tim Holtz Sizzix Wildflowers Thinlits die. It was the first time I experienced Rusting powder and the result is fabulous! To frame my flowers I printed a label from Tim Holtz Label Frames set and I used a stamp from Paper Artsy Stamp HOT PICK 1501 . For the large background I used Fresco Finish paints Antarctic and Guacamole, I added a small photo from Idea-ology Photobooth and Crinkle ribbon to give a vintage feeling to my work! There's a small tutorial for you to see the use of PAPER ARTSY RUSTING POWDER!
Per lo sfondo della card ho utilizzato un cartoncino Manila e due colori acrilici Paper Artsy Fresco Paints: Antartctic e Guacamole, li ho stesi mischiandoli al centro per creare continuità.
For the background of the card I used a piece of Manila cardstock and two acrylic paints Paper Artsy Fresco Paints: Antartctic and Guacamole.
Una volta asciutti gli acrilici ho timbrato tono su tono uno sfondo di Tim Holtz e spruzzato qualche goccia di Distress stain sprays subito asciugata con l'embosser.
Once acrylic paints are dried I stamped with the background of Tim Holtz Lattice and sprinkled a few drops of Distress sprays stain.
Per fare da base ai fiori ho scelto un timbro dal set Label frames di Tim Holtz e uno sfondo con scritte veramente molto bello di Paper Artsy dal set Hot Pick 1501 , ho stampato su Manila dopo aver colorato con il metodo che io chiamo "sguisciata": distress stain sprays spruzzati sul tappeto e scivolata della tag! Anche qui asciugare subito muovendo la tag!
As the base for my flowers I chose a stamp from the set Label frames by Tim Holtz and another stamp from Hot Pick in 1501 by Paper Artsy, I printed them on Manila. I've painted Manila cardstock with Distress stain sprays!
Agli angoli ho aggiunto un mini stencil con Texture Paste gloss e colorato leggermente con Distress Crayons.
At the corners I added a mini stencil with Texture Paste gloss, highlighted with Distress Crayons.
Comunque... ho tagliato i miei fiori poi come da istruzioni , li ho cosparsi con una colla liquida, nel senso non una colla stick, poi potete usare quella che volete. Io ho usato Collage medium matte Ranger. Appena stesa la colla ricoprite con la polvere come se doveste embossare. A questo punto attendete che la colla si asciutta ma non presate la polvere, scuotete solo l'eccesso. Non ci mette molto, deve solamente restare attaccate. Credo si potrebbe tenare anche con la polvere Sticky back Ranger per far aderire la polvere ma non ho ancora provato per cui non so dirvi se funziona, per ora è solo un'idea!! Asciugata la colla spruzzate con acqua e se volete accelerare il processo aggiungete all'acqua limone o aceto. Aspettate un'oretta che si attivi la polvere e spruzzate ancora, fate così 3 /4 volte finchè non avete ottenuto il risultato che vi piace! Quindi il lavoro è abbastanza lungo, servono circa 3 /4 ore per avere un buon risultato.
To rust flowers I tried for the first time "Paper Artsy Rusting Powder". The product is fabulous : just spray water mixed with lemon or vinegar on the powder to get the rust effect!
HERE you can find the exact instructions!
This is the result I got it! I think it's very variable, it depends on many factors: the proportion water / vinegar (or lemon), time you spend and I think even the weather !! The effect is really nice and the product can be used on many materials!!!
Ora tocca a voi! Come sempre partecipando alla nostra sfida potrete vincere un buono a estrazione da 50$ da spendere sul favoloso store di SIMON SAYS STAMP!
So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

RispondiEliminaYour rusted wildflowers are absolutely stunning - what a fantastic idea - and I love how all the elements are floating out of the frame, determined to be free. I love that we both wanted brick walls in our gardens! A beautiful piece of artwork - I really love it.
