This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is "transport it." I decided to give a plain old brown bag some oomph with a design on the front. Now it can feel fancy transporting anything that gets put in it!
I started with a brown bag and I covered with white paint using Studio Light's silicone spatula. When that dried, I stamped some blue grid designs on it using Tim Holtz's Glitch 1 stamp set. Then I sketched a branch onto the white background using Distress Watercolor Pencils. I sprinkled on some Lemoncello Infusions stain powder and sprayed it with water.
Next, I painted the leaves in a bit and while I was waiting for that to dry, I stamped some text designs onto another piece of paper using Tim Holtz's Documented stamp set.
I tore the text page into little scraps which I glued to the leaves. I stamped a bird onto my branch using Tracy Evans' Quirky Birds stamp set and added scraps to it as well.
Bring on the color! I blended in my scraps with paint and Distress Watercolor Pencils.
I stamped on some black dots using Trinity Stamps' Polkadot Background stamp and finished off the bag by stamping the word "Fly" onto the bottom using AALL & Create's Vocabulary Blend stamp set.
