As every monday, here we are with a brand new challange over Simon Says Stamp! As I told you last week in this post , I am so excited to be their first guest designer! I will be designing for Simon Says Stamp all January!

As you might have notice, I love ATC and I love stencils…so there is nothing that makes me happier than combine my two passion! Here is how I interpreted this week’s theme!

I made an ATC using as the base Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock, I cut it to size and I used a mix of Tim Holtz Distress Paint Twisted Citron, Tim Holtz Distress Paint Cracked Pistachio and Tim Holtz Distress Paint Mermaid Lagoon to create my background.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1083″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]
I then used Tim Holtz Distress Paint Stormy Sky through two stencils that I choose to decorate this  ATC Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Lattice Work and Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Dot Fade .

I added few stamps here and there with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Correspondence and Archival Ink Jet Black.
To decorate the front of this ATC I used a ticket from the collection Tim Holtz Idea-ology Journaling Tickets Altered Vintage Paper, that I also stamped with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Correspondence and Archival Ink Jet Black!

The picture of this smiley girl is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Photobooth Vintage Photos and obviously the sentiment is from my favorite stickers collection Tim Holtz Idea-ology Small Talk.

I stitched around the ATC and around the embellishments, I have to admit that it’s been months since I have started stitching my projects and now I am addicted! I can’t call a project done till I added few stitches![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1085″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]
For my ATC envelope, I decided to use one Ranger Manila #8 Tag folded in 3 parts. I prepped the tag with Dina Wakley White Gesso and the I just repeated the steps I did to decorate the ATC.

I also used the same stamps and of course I stitched all around with my sewing machine.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1086″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]And here’s some more photo of the final project.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”1088,1085,1083,1082,1087,1086″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Italiano” tab_id=”1452603359018-7e2f5389-7d95″][vc_column_text]Ciao a tutti!

Come ogni lunedi, eccoci ad una nuova sfida settimanale su Simon Says Stamp! Come vi ho annunciato in questo post , sono molto emozionata di essere la loro prima guest designer! Faro’ quindi parte del team di Simon Says Stamp  per tutto il mese di Gennaio!

 

Come avrete probabilmente notato, io amo le ATC e amo anche molto gli Stencil…quindi direi che non c’è niente di meglio che unire insieme due delle mie cose preferite!

Ecco quindi come ho interpretato il tema di questa settimana!

Ho creato un’ATC usando come base Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock, l’ho tagliata a misura e ho usato un mix di Tim Holtz Distress Paint Twisted Citron, Tim Holtz Distress Paint Cracked Pistachio e Tim Holtz Distress Paint Mermaid Lagoon per creare lo sfondo.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1083″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]
Ho inoltre usato Tim Holtz Distress Paint Stormy Sky attraverso i due stencil scelti per decorare questa ATC Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Lattice Work  e Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Dot Fade .

Ho stampato lo sfondo usando Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Correspondence e l’Archival Ink Jet Black.

Per decorare l’ATC ho usato un Ticket della collezione Tim Holtz Idea-ology Journaling Tickets Altered Vintage Paper, che ho timbrato usando sempre i timbri Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Correspondence e l’Archival Ink Jet Black!

La foto è ritagliata da Tim Holtz Idea-ology Photobooth Vintage Photos e ovviamente il sentiment fa parte degli stickers Tim Holtz Idea-ology Small Talk.

Ho cucito intorno ai bordi dell’ATC e intorno agli elementi decorativi per creare interesse, devo dire che oramai sono mesi che non posso fare a meno di aggiungere cuciture ai miei progetti![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1085″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]
Per creare la busta porta ATC ho usato una Ranger Manila #8 Tag piegata in 3 parti. Ho ricoperto parte della busta con Dina Wakley White Gesso e poi ripetuto lo stesso procedimento che ho usato per decorare l’ATC.

Ho quindi usato gli stessi timbri e ho nuovamente cucito il tutto con la macchina da cucire.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1086″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]Ed ecco altre foto del progetto.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”1088,1085,1083,1082,1087,1086″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]

Come premio Simon Says Stamp mette in palio un buono da 50$ da spendere nel fantastico shop on line di Simon Says Stamp!
