SIMON MONDAY CHALLENGE RED WHITE AND BLUE



Ciao a tutti! prima settimana di Luglio e tema super classico proposto da Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog: RED WHITE AND/OR BLUE! Ovviamente chi vuole può ispirarsi al 4 Luglio oppure potete semplicemente usare questi colori nel vostro progetto! Oggi tutto il Design Team ha creato con prodotti Sizzix, so che rimarrete stupiti dalla varietà di stili  dei nostri lavori! Per chi partecipa alla sfida non è obbligatorio usare prodotti Sizzix ma ( io sono sicura tutti voi avete almeno un a fustella di questa marca!) se li avete ci farebbe piacere vedere come li utilizzate!
Prima settimana per la nostra nuova Designer Spotlight  di Luglio: Beulah Bee, un grande ritorno! Vi consiglio di vedere il suo blog, la sua originalità e capacità di costruire storie con immagini è unica!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the Stencil It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week we are challenging you to RED WHITE and/or BLUE.
It will be Independence Day here in the United States tomorrow, there will be huge processions, Stars and Stripes flying, fireworks and generally lots of people having fun! We would love for you to join in the party by creating something using one or all of the red/white/blue colours. We will be looking forward to seeing whatever colour/s you choose to use!
This week we are showcasing some fabulous Sizzix Products. Sizzix produce a huge range of Die Cut Machines, Craft Dies, Embossing Folders and so much more, you don’t have to use them to join in but if you have them we would love to see them used!
First week for our new Designer Spotlight in July: Beulah Bee! Welcome back Beulah! I recommend you to see her blog, her originality and ability to build stories with pictures is unique!


Io sono rimasta sull'interpretazione più classica, dedicando come tutti gli anni questa sfida agli amici americani che festeggiano domani il 4 Luglio.

I have remained on the most classic interpretation, dedicating this challenge to American friends who celebrate Independence's Day !


Questa settimana ho optato per un home decor da appendere  e per realizzarlo  ho utilizzato un foglio di burlap adesivo preso dalla confezione di Idea-ology Textured surfaces.
Ho tagliato una cornice di cartoncino spesso e l'ho rivestita con una carta a tema di Tim.
Il foglio di burlap è stato ricoperto con la Ranger Texture Paste Opaque Crackle. Una volta asciugata e con le crepe in evidenza ho aggiunto in modo abbastanza casuale la cera Vintage Gold di Prima Marketing. Lo stesso ho fatto sui bordi della cornice, confesso che queste cere mi creano dipendenza!

This week I opted for a home decor and to make it I used an adhesive sheet of burlap taken from the Idea-Ology package  Textured surfaces.
I cut a thick cardboard frame and I've customized it with a Tim's  themed paper.
The burlap sheet was covered with the Opaque Crackle Ranger Texture Paste. When  it dried the  cracks was appeared and I  added quite randomly Prima Marketing Vintage  Gold Metallique Wax. The same thing I did on the edges of the frame, I confess this wax make me addict!



Per quanto riguarda Sizzix ho usato la fustella con la mappa degli Stati Uniti che trovo davvero favolosa! Ho preparato due fogli di Heavystock usando Distress Oxide e  Distress stain spray nei colori rosso e blu. Per il bianco ( che ammetto sia più color crema che bianco vero!) ho usato lo stesso processo ma con un foglio di Woodgrain cardstock.

As for Sizzix I used the die with the map of the United States that I think is really fabulous! I prepared two Heavystock sheets using Distress Oxide and Distress stain spray in the red and blue colors. For white (which I admit is more cream than white!) I used the same process but with a sheet of Woodgrain cardstock.



Ho completato il lavoro con vari pezzi Idea-ology e , credo ve ne sarete accorti, non posso più fare a meno delle Paper Dolls di Tim!

I have completed my work with various Idea-ology pieces and, I think you will be aware of it, I can not do without  Paper Dolls!




Per la decorazione in basso ho usato qualche glitter e parole prese dai blocchi Chita chat di Idea-ology, poi ho ricoperto tutto con Ice Resin, sapete che ogni tanto mi piace inserirlo nei miei lavori!

For decoration at the bottom I used some glitter and words taken from Idea-Ology Chit-chat sheets, then I covered everything with Ice Resin, you know that sometimes I like to add it  in my works.







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!

Oh Barbara this is such a fabulous piece of art. Such a terrific way to use the US die- so effective in the red , white and blue . It provides a wonderful backdrop for your dancing paper doll- a perfect choice given that dancing can be so liberating .
Big love for this my creative friend .
