Simon Says Stamp Challenge

This is my first entry to the SSSC.  The challenge is "Anything Goes" so....here goes.

Just a little something to use as a "Do not Disturb" sign for my studio door.  It is made from a recycled brown bag with a handle.  Stamps are by: Stampotique, Tissue tape by Tim Holtz, Tattered Floral die cut flowers by Tim Holtz Alterations, Gesso mixed with acrylic paint for the background, Black Staz-on ink used for stamping images/phrase and a few rhinestones to dress up the Prom Queen's outfit.

SDC45: A wish for the new year

I love challenges since they force me to be flexible and create things in a different way.  This week Stampotique posted a challenge using only their products and a resolute wish for ourselves in 2012.    This is my submission, a doorhanger, serving as a reminder on my craft room door to create a little art every day.  For this challenge I used the stamps:  "Relaxin'", parts of the words from "Do not disturb the artist" & "Blah, blah, blah" (my personal favorite) is stamped on the flower.  I recycled a brown paper shopping bag with a handle by using gesso, acrylic paints, glimmer mist, Tim Holtz tissue tape and Ideaology flower trimmings.  The phrase saying "Do my art daily" looks more like a threatening ransom note than the gentle reminder that it is.  All of their stamps make me smile.
