I decided to create this new blog and made a piece for the header. I have been brooding for a long time, buying new stash and stamps, for when I could get back to work!! I have had such problems with arthritis in my hands... That time is now, so I have thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece. I used many new stamps and lots of the new distress ink colours...
I used the rose from Elusive Images, to echo that on the blogger background. I also used stamps from Darkroom Door, Aspects of Design, UMount, Tim Holtz shabby French sheet 1 and several from Crafty Individuals. I LOVE all the new shades of distress inks. They mix and match so well. I layered the stamps then coloured the background, embossing with clear ep as always!! The edges are distressed with dark gold perfect pearls.
Thanks for looking...

If you click on the Titles of my posts they should take you to the challenges.... or they are on my side bar....
ReplyDeleteThe darker ones are...
Macabre mondays.... Barb is a doll... so funny!
Darkness inspirations... nans is dutch and a sweetheart.
Stampitcrazy... another Barb who designs her own stamps... often her challenges are 'darker' and shes a real gem.
Art on the darkside... much quieter there now that junes not doing it, but still a great challenge blog.
Smeared and smudged... a 'group' for stampers who like darker, grungier, edgy stuff... there are various challenges every month and everyone is so friendly and helpful.
COME AND WALK ON THE DARKSIDE MY FRIEND.... you'll love the freedom of expressing your deeper emotions though your art.... and people NOT thinking you're a nut-case!
