Simon Says Stamp is also on Instagram! If you would like you can also share your projects there, but don’t forget to use the hashtag #sssmchallenge

I started this tag with spritzing some distess ink through a stencil.

Then I used another tag to soak up the eccess ink — this way you make two tags background! I used a lot of inks so i was able to also create another “print” with a watercolor paper.

This way I will have TWO grunge background to play with next time!

I used Distress Resist spray through the same stencil and let it dry.

Please remember that when you use Resist Spray you should clean the stencil/tools right away!

I used the same color palette (Speckled Egg, Chipped Sapphire, Rusty Hinge and Ground Espresso) for the leaves. This time I used Distress Ink Pad and used the old “smush” technique — I simply smushed the inks over the media mat, added spritz of water and smushed the paper over the inks!

I added layers making sure the colors where well dry before adding other layers of colors. Then I run the paper through the SideKick and cut out the leaves. Inked up the edges and then decorated the tag.
