Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: "One You" Earrings using AALL & Create's Power Words Washi Tape, Loop Pins, and Fabric Scraps

We've made it to another Monday and it is a sweltering one here in my neck of the woods.  I hope you're all surviving in whatever summer conditions you're living in at the moment!  Stay where it's comfortable and keep being crafty.  After all, we have a great theme this week over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge of "add some text".  I decided to make earrings that say, when put together, "one you."  It was meant to remind me that each one of us is unique and one-of-a-kind, even though we can strengthen each other through shared experiences.


I started with some pieces of thin metal that I painted, then cut into rectangular shapes.  I stuck some AALL & Create washi tape to the top half of the rectangles.


Next I colored some blue and green stripes onto white paper using Distress Watercolor Pencils.  I glued the striped paper to the bottom of the rectangles.


I added some paint to my rectangles, then I got out some white beads and colored them with alcohol ink in shades of yellow and green.


I used Tim Holtz's Multi Collage Eclectic Elements cloth to cut out some numbers.  Then I sewed the numbers to some Odile Bailloeul Festival fabric.


I stuck my fabric scraps onto Tim Holtz's loop pins.  With my fabric scraps ready, I stamped "one" and "you" (from a Simon Birthday Greetings stamp set) onto paper, cut out the words, and glued those to the rectangles.  I added more paint to my metal rectangles and punched some holes out of the rectangles with my Crop-A-Dile.  I loaded some beads onto more loop pins, added a few last beads and these earrings were finished!


Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
