Out With the Old, In With the New

 Happy to be back in the new year sharing a new challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique!  We have some new design team members and said goodbye to some old team members.  The new challenge celebrates the new year with the theme of Out with the Old and in with the New.  

All you have to do is create something using something new and something old.  

I have these new chipboard sprigs from Ranger that I have been wanting to play with. I decided to pull them out and use them! 

I also had my old Stampers Anonymous stamps Faded Text that I wanted to use in the design as well. I also mixed in some old lace from my lace collection. 

The background is embossed with the burlap texture from an layering stencil.  I used lots of sprays and inks to add colors and shine!  

Come check out the new challenge and inspiration from the new design team! 

The overall winner will be offered the chance to be a Guest Designer at a future date at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the drawing for the chance to win a $25.00 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. There are also Top 3 Badges for three additional outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Ombre

Hi all and welcome to another week of the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This week the challenge is ombre!

I created a series of backgrounds using a stencil, some paints in varying shades of colors to create my own ombre backgrounds.  I then cut them up to create a variety of atc's.

My first one mixed pink, coral, and yellow paints together.  I then stamped the butterfly and colored to coordinate. I added a few rub-on remnants in the background and a little shading around the butterfly.

Next I added a few circles and a touch of white paint to soften the background.  I added a stamped image of the lady and gave her a few inspiring words along with her flower in her hair.

I then went back to the same pink background and added a few more circles with white paint and added in the butterflies in coordinating colors.

How do we measure ourselves?

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge  is inky backgrounds.  The Dina Wakely All the Gals set had me thinking about how we measure ourselves. 

This inspired a journal page with a inky background using shimmery yellow mist  which happened to be the end of the bottle and I just poured it out and ran it all over my background.  I added a lovely mix of Peacock Feather Ranger Distress Spray over the top.I knew I wanted to create a journal page.  I decided to be inspired by the Dina Wakely

 I stenciled a bit of embossing paste over the measuring layering stencil and then mixed in the words form the stamp set along with spelling out Measure.
