Wendy Vecchi Style ....

This weeks theme at Simon Says Stamp & Show is ....... wait for it ............. Wendy Vecchi Style (woo hoo)! So last night out came all my packets of Art Parts and off I went, so much soooooooo the evening just flew by, I was so absorbed.

For the base I covered a large creative cover in paper from one of Thee Tim Holtz's paper stash and distressed using Distress Ink (Vintage Photo). The Art Parts colour combo was achieved using Adirondack Colour Wash in Cranberry & Sail Boat Blue and Dylusions Ink in Sky Blue & Fuschia.



The Art Part pocket watch in this case is acting as an optical lens, I have used CFA for the faux glass.

To offset the bright colours, I chose to leave some of the Art Parts bare with only a smooching of Distress Ink (Vintage Photo). All stamps are Wendy Vecchi. Other bitsn bobs are from the Ideaology range.

Gillian...this is such a cool project! I love Wendy's script that you used on this. All the art parts are really great that way you used them together. Pocket watch used an sort of an optical lense is a great idea! You're always thinkin' of new ways to use elements! Love it~ Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge! <3 Candy
