First of all….happy new year! Although I couldn’t wait for 2016 to end, I can’t believe we are already in 2017! So let’s start all over again, starting with the Monday Challenge over Simon Says Stamp!!

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2660″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I covered part of the ATC with gesso, as always, I start every project with a bit of gesso. I love the resist effect that you get when you apply over some color. I let the gesso dry then I took two distress crayons and blended them together. i love the mix of pink and oranges, I simply LOVE it!

I stamped the background with Archival Ink and this awesome stamp by Carabelle Studio that I bought while ago but I never used.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2664″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I grabbed two Distress Markers in the same tone of the distress crayon and color into the lines to let the color pop up even more.

I took the Numbered Tim Holtz Stencil and I applied Modeling paste over it in order to create the “2017”.  On purpose I wanted the stencil to look like it was cut in line…simply because it is the beginning of the year and I liked the idea of something that is just “started”….don’t know if you get the idea? LOL![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2661″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]When the modeling paste was dry I took again distress crayons and added color over the paste – I used the black ink to add some shadows and then I went all around the ATC sides to make them dark.
Do not freak out…. I know it is CRAZY that I did not add any stitches…but……… I am moving, so everything is packed away! 🙂

Hope your 2017 will be filled with happiness and health <3[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”2659,2660,2661,2662,2663,2664,2665″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
