My Creative Art .... Creating Imperfection

Hello all ... hope you are all surviving this cold snap we are having again. To console myself I needed to get inky! Well this hanging started out as something completely different but as the title says "My Creative Art ... Creating Imperfection. Embrace Forevermore" .... so that's exactly what I did with a few supplies. Dylusion Spray (Calypso Teal, White Linen & Black Marble), Ranger Kraft Tags, Distress Paint (Picket Fence), Distress Ink (Walnut Stain), some Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas, Archival Ink, some rusty wire and two of my fav Tim Holtz (he the Guru of all things distress) stamp sets *yes I know I say that everytime lol* ..... Papillon & Mixed Media.


Calypso Teal & White Linen sprayed directly onto a Kraft Tag gives such a seriously cool effect. LOVE IT!


Also spraying the Dylusion Sprays onto bubble wrap and stamping directly onto your surface .... LOVE IT!



Add some Walnut Stain Distress Ink and I'm one happy bunny!



To finish add some stitching, staples, Ideaology Chit Chat stickers and some twine .... voila lol!

This weeks theme at Simon Says Stamp is "Chic To Be Shabby" ..... these colours always remind me of shabby chic. 

Wishing you all a good week ahead, thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment. x
