Butterfly Effect Movie card

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Movies".

It's hard to believe, but it's been 10 years since I was chosen to participate as a design team member in Monday Challenge Blog. Back then it was called Simon Says Stamp and Show. At that time, I was only about a year into paper crafting. A whole world opened up to me. I discovered all the amazing products, like the Distress line, Sizzix dies, Idea-ology from Tim Holtz, among others. And of course I started collecting/hoarding a lot like everbody else. 

Then I discovered challenge blogs, like Simon Says Stamp and Show, and not much later they had a DT call. I'd never been in a DT before, but figured why not. And yes, I got the email I had dreamed of, I was chosen! It was a super fun time. I'm so happy that you followed me along this journey! Thanks for that! Of course I also want to thank my teammies and the whole Simon Says Stamp family that I've been a part of! All of you, thanks so much!

 

Okay, so now for my final project! I was always very intrigued by the movie The Butterfly Effect. Also because of the Butterfly Effect phenomenon, which is why that is my inspiration for my card. I started with Distress Spray Stain Speckled Egg, Prize Ribbon and Black Soot for a dark and mysterious background. With the Dapper, Read to Me and Entomology stamps I added more depth.

  

For the star of the card I used the butterfly from the Specimen stamp set. I stamped it first with Distress Oxide Faded Jeans, and then stamped the edges with Distress Archival Ink Black Soot. I colored the butterfly with Distress Ink Faded Jeans, Black Soot and Ground Espresso.

Bright Crazy Cat Party card

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Bright and Cheerful".

As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company. This week we are all using some fabulous products from Katzelkraft. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.


It had been a while since I just made a background with Distress Ink. And I made the background with a lot of green and blue tones. Such as Distress Ink Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wildereness for the greens, and Broken China, Faded Jeans and Peacock Feathers for blues.

 

With Metallic Paint I colored the Texture Paste and used it with the Dot Fade stencil. Although it being an opaque Texture Paste, you can still see the shimmer of the Metallic Paint in it. The star of this card is the Katzelkraft stamp Charlot le Chat. I colored this with Distress Reinkers.
