Simon Says Stamp & Show Women Only ....





Two posts in one day .... whatever next. So after having managed to squeeze in some inky time into a very hectic life right now I am at last able to join in with my fav challenge blog Simon Says Stamp & Show (Yay)! This week the lovely Linda E has chosen the theme "Women Only" .... so would be rude not to .... right!!!

I have used goodies from three of my fav craft designer lines .... Wendy Vecchi, Tim Holtz & Dyan Reavely.

The project started out with Art Parts set (Large Circles & Frames), which was inked with Distress Stains (Faded Jeans, Picket Fence, Tumbled Glass & Weathered Wood). I used Archival Ink in (Coffee & Manganese Blue) to stamp with. I used Distress Inks (Tea Dye) to give the project a more aged look. Stamps from Studio 490 (Love To Make Art, Visions Of Art & Art From The Heart). The quote is from the Dylusions set (Say What You Mean). The Ideaology Trimmings were inked with Distress Stain (Tumbled Glass) and Ideaology Hitch Fasteners for the centre of the roses.

Phew I need to go lie down now, all this blogging has worn me out lol. TFL x
