GM 09 & SSSS ....





Grungy Monday 09 sees us incorporate another fab technique from The Tim Holtz referred to as "Shabby Chic". The technique in question is none other than Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas, 2007, Day 10

I have used Expresso, Lake Mist & Stream.


Simon Says Stamp & Show .... our favourite stamp ... crikey where to start! Two of my favourites at the moment is the text background from Wendy Vecchi's (A Form of Art) and the three gents from Tim Holtz's (Steampunk Art).

Gillian, this is really cool. I love how you always come up with cool ways to use Tim's Ideaology stuff in new and different ways. The light bulb on the clock face with the chain is really neat. Love the colors and the steampunk stamps you used. Thanks for sharing your work with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. <3 Candy

I always look forward to your artwork. The details are all so creative. I love the way you added a highlighted steampunk man, the lightbulb is genius. Your stamps and colors for the shabby chic technique are perfect.

Gillian - really nice. Love the details. Love what you did with the guy in the middle. Did you add him over the top of the stamped image?
