Take a risk
It's week 18 in the Compendium of Curiosities II at Linda's, which means we are half way thru the book by Tim. Which makes me wonder if there's a Book III in the works?! This week our sponsor is The Funkie Junkie and she is giving someone a $25 gift card. And you can't win if you don't play!
This week's challenge is on page 47 and is called Whitewash Stamping. I decided to mix up my artists again and used a couple of images from Dyan Reaveley's Doodle Parts and sentiment from The Right Words stamp sets. I used t!m's Limited Edition Summer Distress Inks; Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn and Picked Raspberry to color the tag with, then edged in Gathered Twigs. The bird perched on the 'shroom is one I picked up on clearance at Michael's. The butterflies are from CTMH.
Love you choice of colors! Great tag! I have yet to get me some spring and summer distress inks! Yikes...I do so want them though.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag Sue! I love your choice of colours and those 'shrooms' look perfect to show this technique. Love the sentiment as well... and it's so true isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag! I love the bling on the mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteI can smell the colors on this tag. it is great work.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Sue. Love how the mushrooms 'pop' against the coloured background
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Sue!!! I love the color!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is beautiful!!! I really liked the quote you used.
ReplyDeleteI do love that color palette! And I love how your whitewash stayed so clean!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours sue! Your whitewash stamping looks great! x
ReplyDeleteSue I love the colors and technique used on this. I have the book, but haven't had a chance to use it. After seeing this beautiful tag I think I will try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
