Curio Closet ....







A new week ... a new challenge over at Simon Says Stamp & Show. This weeks theme set by Linda is "Anything Goes".


I started out by painting this wooden screen with Fresco Paints (Honey Dew), then inked it using Distress Stains .. Vintage Photo, Weathered Wood, Forest Moss & Wild Honey, then spritizing areas with Adirondack Colour Wash Sprays, Butterscotch, Meadow & Stream and wiping off any excess with kitchen roll. Stamps are by THE Tim Holtz & Andy Skinner.


Stop by the individual Design Team blogs to check out their amazing samples for this week, and don't forget as always the generous Simon Says Stamp sponsors are offering a $50 gift voucher to the lucky winner.

This is so cool. I cant believe i was sitting gluing door handles on to the same shrine. (completely different design but great minds huh?)

I love this piece gillian. i like the faded worn wood look and the butterflies split up the middle. its almost got a french country farmhouse look.
