I ordered some new stamps direct from Stampotique and they arrived a few days ago ..
... definitely a happy parcel! These are stamps I haven't been able to get hold of in the UK, otherwise I would support a 'local' stamp store. The ones I know of here that stock Stampotique are a sprinkle of imagination, art from the heart, the cubby hole and the stamp attic.
I had a play with my distress inks the yesterday; I'd forgotten how vivid the colours were! So when I wanted a strong green background for my lovely pink yummy horse I got them out. This was made easier by the fact that just after my op, when I couldn't move much, I labelled them all and organised them into colours :)
I also made the background that I stamped 'horse' on using distress, this time the minis. I followed Tim's June 2014 tag technique of inking up the back of a stencil (I used Tim Holtz' doily layering stencil), spraying it with water then stamping with it. Once it was dry I stamped 'horse' over the top and cut him out.
I love finding random sentences in old books and I decided this one fitted 'horse' perfectly! I made another tag using horse, which you can see over on the Stampotique Designers Blog.

ReplyDeleteLove little horsey! Great little quote too! (definitely meant for those lovely eyes) Even more beautiful irl!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun!!! Chrisx
I have to say that this is one of TH (tag shaped) stencils that I didn't buy! I couldn't even imagine how I would use it! Obviously, seeing it here, I lack imagination! Love our doily background, Sarah! OK, so I love the horse, too! Love how you have given him/her character by just changing the background colors on which you stamp! Great tags!
ReplyDeletehilarious Sarah and what a cute little horse.
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, Sarah !! I have got the horse on order too !!
