Compendium-of-Curiosities-Challenge Week 21 & Simon Says Stamp and Show your Favourite Tim Holtz Stamp!




WOW that title is a mouthful but as you suspected I am combining the challenges once again for I feel this week they really do go hand in hand.

The Compendium challenge at Studio L3 is Perfect Distress.
The Challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show is Your Favourite
Tim Holtz Stamp!

I told you they went Hand it Hand.

I love the perfect distress technique for I feel it always gives a dreamy cloud like result. Picking a favorite stamp was more of a challenge. I picked the set of stamps that I first thought I just had to have from Tim Holtz.




I tried to photograph the close up from the side to really show off the Perfect Distress technique.



I love the way the tag turned out completely "dream" like.

  15. Oh, this turned out AWESOMELY, Stephen! I love that stamp set, and it worked so well with the Perfect Distress technique! The colors are dreamy and masculine, and I now have "Dream a Little Dream of Me" running through my head (which I like!). As always-- FABULOUS job!!!
