Simon Says Stamp and Show a Hat!
Hi ya! Thank you for playing along with last week's challenge ... The winners will be announced this Wednesday .... so don't forget to check back ... this could be your week! This week Simon Says Stamp and Show ... a Hat! If you want to join in the fun ... all you need to do is ... create something that ties in with our theme ... pop it on your blog ... and come back here and link up so everyone can see what you made! To start you on your way... take a look at some inspiration from the Design Team ...
Nancy's really got "spring" on her mind, so she created a Easter bonnet, using Claudine Hellmuth's Sticky-Back Canvas to cover a top hat made from cardstock. A bit of Melissa Frances' vintage crepe paper, some Ranger Platinum Stickles, a "chocolate" Grungeboard bunny - and a new tabletop decoration's made for Easter!
A hat you say.......well this challenge had Lynne a bit stumped....then she caught a picture of Kate Middleton and one of her "bonnets" and had a brainstorm. So, she pulled out her Distress Stains, Vintage Glitter Glass, Sticky Back Canvas, a Jump Ring, Princesca Hardware and Wendy Vecchi ~ Art Rules Stamps! And there you have it........A FLOWER HAT card!
When is a hat not a hat? When it's a Fashionista crown! This simple crown is all decked out and ready for the next cropping party or wedding shower with Stickles adorning the Graphic 45 paper.
Lori chose to give her "art girl" a saucy little hat. She used Studio 490 stamps from It's Face Art and A Form of Art, grungeboard wings cut with the Heart and Wings die, a Silver paint dabber and Black Enamel Accents to also give her some "attitude"!
While thinking about this week's challenge Dan was inspired by images from Alice in Wonderland, A Clockwork Orange and Magritte, which he has combined together into this quirky printer's tray! Products used included the Lost and Found and Retro Grunge card stacks, tissue tape and Multi Medium Matte.
While making this piece I ended up humming the same song over and over again ... Can you tell what it is yet? I used Studio 490 Art Parts; Some Idea-ology and Distress Stains. The yummy hounds tooth paper is from the Graphic45 Botanicabella collection.
Sarah went for a humorous twist on Mother’s Day with her canvas. She stamped, embossed and crowned her Diva using Tim's Pattern Pieces and then colour-washed using Claudia Helmuth paints. Her trusty Distress Inks and tool were put to good use on Jenny Bowlin papers and two Memo-pins made the perfect TV antenna! Read more on Sarah's blog...
Terry made a Top Hat for a Bride. The hat is worked on with the Graphic 45 paperpad, Steampunk Debutante, distressed with Vintage Photo, Victorian Velvet and Fired Brick. The flowers are from The Tim Holtz Tattered Florals, the lace is worked on with distress inks and the butterfly is from a punch. For more details you can visit her blog.
Candy's whimsical hat for this week's challenge was primarily fashioned out of Graphic 45 "Le Cirque" papers. All of the circus posters and clowns are taken from the beautiful graphics on these papers. The clowns are all highlighted in Stickles to show off their costumes. The flowers popping out of the top of the hat and around the brim are mainly cut from Tim Holtz' Tattered Flowers die.

Daughter will be three in a week so decided to create a vintage inspired party hat... she collaged the cone with strips torn from 7 Gypsies Victoria Paper and old book pages applied with Claudine Helmuth's Matte Medium. Then Embellished with a few Tattered Angel goodies, like the Framed Fonts
