Make A Wish ....

Time to share a little altered chunky canvas using my fav stamps from Tim Holtz .... I just LURVE these dapper gentlemen along with lots of other Tim goodlyness. I used the 2x2 pieces of cardstock from the Ideaology Destinations Paper Pad which have been stamped with images from the following stamp sets - Remnants, Steampunk & World Traveller using Archival Ink (Jet Black).
The textured harlequin is a Crafter's Workshop Mini Stencil using "THE" Wendy Vecchi's Embossing Paste (gotta love this stuff too) ... me thinks I need to get more colours!
The canvas was painted all black to begin with using Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber (Pitch Black).
 Of course I've used my precious Treasured Gold (Spanish Topaz) to highlight the textured areas.
Add in some Walnut Stain Distress Inks and some Ideaology Alpha Parts (Ransom) to make the word "Wish" and an Ideaology Faucet Knob.
 "Wish" is this themes week over at the Sunday Stamper hosted by Hels.

Thanks for stopping by, would love to know what you think ..... until next time stay inky! x
