Hello everyone ... have you all recovered from the Tim Holtz phenomenon that was TSV/Craft Day on QVC ... oh yes indeed I stayed up like a good girl to make sure I reserved mine (*cough* not sure how the other items fell into the basket though lol) ... just to reward myself you understand for missing most of craft day as I had to work (boooo) .... anyways having seen the new theme last night at Simon Says Stamp & Show which is hosted by the lovely Linda E I thought it would be rude not to jump right in and crack open the inks, lots of whitewash/distress .... as you can see I have gone for "London"!

Don't forget to stop by an see the amazing Design Team Projects for this weeks theme and one lucky winner will receive a $50 gift voucher to spend at Simon Says Stamp

Enjoy the rest of your evening folks. TFL x

Great project for the challenge Gillian. Love it! Poor you missing most of the craft day today. I was quite good after ordering the TSV and some DS markers I resisted (forgive the pun) for the rest of the day. I did want the Wordplay die but you must have got mine, lol! No seriously, I was too slow on that one. Can't wait for my TSV to come now.

Hugs

Loving the whitewashed effect, so striking over the fag and the use of the stencil inside is perfect. Lovely creation showcasing the stamps perfectly. Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. Tracy x

Gillian...your London piece is amazing! I so love what you've done with your backgrounds and how you washed them. Love your stamped images as well. Those Artistic Outpost stamp sets are just incredible! Is your piece wooden? I love how it's hinged! You've done a fantastic job on this! Thanks for sharing your always amazing art with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
