SIMON SAYS ....





Simon Says Stamp and show a tag .... Ooooo having just bought my first ever set of WendyVeechi stamps (Oh lordy what have I been missing out on), I had to get them out and play straight away. To create this tag I have used cardstock from thee Tim Holtz Ideaology range (Shabby Vintage), a mask, some Adirondack Colour Wash Ink Sprays in Red Pepper & Sunset Orange (colours outwith my normal comfort zone) but I love the vibrancy of these sprays. My new stamp from Studio 49 "Celestial Art" (love those stars) and one of my fav stamps from Stampers Anonymous (Tim Holtz Collection). The tag has a swivel clasp (TimHoltz Ideaology Range) attached at the top.
This also fits in nicely with this weeks theme of "Inking & Stamping Masks" over at Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 32 . To find out what it is all about, open your Compendium of Curiosities book at page 59.
