Party Time...

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog...thank you for joining us for last week's "Let It Snow" challenge...we hope you can join us this week too because...

and the theme for this week is...

PARTY TIME
the challenge will run for 2 weeks so you have plenty time to join in the fun...

I created an art journal page featuring this motley crew....who better to party with than a bunch of Crazy Dogs and if the expression on their faces is anything to go by...it was some party...

I stamped the images on to masking paper and used the matching dies to cut them out...

I stamped the two dogs in the centre with Black Archival ink...masked them off and stamped the dogs either side...

I then masked off all the dogs and coloured the background with Chipped Sapphire Distress Paint using a damp baby wipe and carefully removed the masks before the paint dried...

I applied Texture Paste through the Stars Mini Layering Stencil and created splatters with Picket Fence Distress Paint...

added Merriment Design Tape and stamped the image from Holiday Drawings with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

I coloured the dogs with Distress Markers using Ranger's Detailer Water Brush and stamped the hats... bow ties and balloons from the Crazy Things Stamp set on to Ranger Watercolor Card using Black Archival Ink...coloured and die cut with the matching dies...fixed in place with Ranger Multi Medium Matte and applied Glossy Accents to the eyes...noses and balloons.

I used Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements Thread to create the string for the balloons...

and Tim Holtz/Sizzix Alphanumeric Dies for the wording.
