Dream Tag

Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group has gone to a monthly challenge for the summer.  June's Make Art! Challenge is to incorporate at least one Wendy (Studio 490) stamp, the color blue and metal.

I love this Wendy stamp of the man with the cane.  The saying on Tim's word band is a perfect match, in my opinion. Enough said.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - See more at: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15377#sthash.o6rB0N6L.dpuf

Fashionable Stamping Challenge #50 Show Us Something New
learning from Tim how to use rubons in a different way and how to fade stamped images; using for the first time my Studio 490 stamp of the man.
Definitely this inkiness is not in my comfort zone

Catching up with the Tim Holtz Tags of 2013. Here is his sample for May and the link to his tutorial is HERE
I used all the techniques in his tutorial.  Too late to link up but I'm determined to learn some new techniques this year and get all 12 tags done.

This is the photo from Tim's blog with his sample.



Most primary grade children know blue and yellow make green. I know that too. So imagine my distress when Broken China and Wild honey distress stains blended into a nice shade of green. Oops! The EWV challenge is for BLUE! So out come all the blue distress ink pads!

Fashionable Stamping asked for something new.  Although I own all these products,  using them in this way is new to me.
