Hello, hello and happy mid-September! I love every step that gets us closer to wearing big bad boots (nothing like a tall chunky heel to make one feel powerful) and drinking apple cider (though I confess I do that all year long). It's also A+++ to be cozily crafting inside when the weather starts to cool. It's still in the mid-90's in my neck of the woods, but Fall will come one of these days! In the meantime, I loved this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme of Stencil Fun.
Next up was some acrylic paint in various colors smeared here and there. I made the dots by putting paint on the tip of a pencil eraser and stamping it down onto my tags.
While that dried, I made another painty collaged page and traced the outline of some buildings onto it using StencilGirl's Towers of Arches stencil set. I cut out the buildings, added some black and white polka dot patterned paper scraps and stamped some text into the doorway arches. I glued the buildings to my tags and embellished one with a dog and the other with the word "Beautiful," which came from a roll of washi tape.
Here are the supplies I used, which you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
