I'm delighted to be Guest Designer again this week for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. The challenge this week is treats. I just adore Anita Jeram - my kids read her books when they were young and I now read them to my grandkids. I even have a mug with some characters on. So when I saw this set over at Simon Says Stamp and the little treat jar it was a must have! It's called Treat Yourself.
I wanted to keep the colours fairly close to Anita's own style of soft colours. I stamped the dogs first on some water colour paper in Versafine Clair Nocturne. I stamped the treat jar and then restamped it and fussy cut it to add a bit more interest. I carefully added some clean water around the dogs then used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean and Peeled Paint for the background.
For colouring the dogs I used the following Distress Oxides with a very small paint brush - Black Soot, Brushed Corduroy, Pumice Stone, Walnut Stain, Saltwater Taffy
The little treat jar was coloured in Salty Ocean, Saltwater Taffy and Rusty Hinge.
I used Versafine Clair Morning Mist stamped off for the Yummy sentiment and Pinecone for the main sentiment.
