A Play Day for Me

Hi friends, 

Just a quick stop today - I have been playing in the studio and decided to join in a few challenges that are currently going.

 

For the Simon Says Stamp Challenge they want us to make our own background.

For Creative Carte Blanche, Its All About The Numbers.

For Emerald Creek Dares says -Splatter Some Fun

And Mixed Media Monthly says - Buttons

 

 I did a big chipboard tag with several tags added for a colorful and playful creation.

This was fun for me because I could just do as I pleased and that is just what I did.  For the main focal point I used a printed canvas from Dylusions.  I used the colors in the canvas as my start.  I must confess I did some stash diving and came up with some tags that were just laying around. After adjusting the colors a bit - they were perfect. 

 

 

I found this tag that was rather too orange for me and sprayed it with Memories Mist, Iced Coffee.

 

 

The background was made by putting some embossing paste through a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil.

When that was dry, paint was added.  It is hard to explain this process as we all go at it in a different way but I used several colors.  Some of the paint was wiped away before it dried to reveal the stenciled numbers.

 

 

After much playing and decision making on which embellishments to use - everything was glued in place.  In order to add the splatters, the main image was covered and then the splattering began.

 

 

I used some Media paints, some Tim Holtz Grunge Board elements and the end of a ticket from my idea-ology stash, some of Tim's Remnant Rubs and a star button.

 

Thanks for stopping by -

Enjoy your day,
