horse on a tag

 

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.

    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!
