Paint

Let's get messy!
This week, we are challenging everyone to use paint on their project for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? It is! It's the perfect challenge to shake things up and kick-start your creative mojo.
 I created my painty background with the assistance of some fun stencils and paint. I thought it needed a little "something", so a spritz of neon Hero Arts Ink pumped up the color intensity. The stamped leaves were also created with paint. Yes, paint! I used Antique Bronze Distress Paint (which is so luscious!) and dabbed it directly onto the stamp. I was pleasantly surprised at what a great impression it created. I am really liking that paint! 

Get out those paint smocks! What will you create?
Join us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp.  We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.
