Hello everyone .... hope you are all well. Life has sure been hectic of late and shows no sign of slowing down at the moment ughhh .... and the weather (what's that all about) it's meant to be Spring!!! So what better way to unwind .... play with paints and stamps of course lol!
LOVE this new Tim Holtz stamp set "Way With Words" .... and a splash of colour using Distress Paints .... sorted!!
This weeks theme at Simon Says Stamp is "Quotable" ... use a sentiment on a stamp, a quote or a line from a favourite movie.
I'm unsure which is my favourite wording on this stamp .... TBH I love them all!
To add some depth to the background I've used the large collage stamp from the Tim Holtz "Paris Memoir" set using Archival Ink (French Ultramarine) along with the admit one from the "Ringmaster "Blueprint" set which was inked with Archival Ink (Jet Black).
The gent has been stamped onto cardstock using the same colours of Distress Paints - Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, Mustard Seed & Rusty Hinge.
Another fav is the "Fleur De Lis" ... love the bold design!
I opted to highlight the sentiment "BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO BECOME THE PERSON THAT YOU WERE MEANT TO BE" .... by stamping it onto a left over piece of painted cardstock and adhering on top of the orginal.
Have a great week everyone, thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment. xx
