Simon Says Stamp and Show Me...

...a HAT!

For other details, to see other wonderful creations, AND to enter your own, check out the Simon Says Stamp and Show Blog!

So, I went with the silver and black theme again. And I chose to make an "art girl", although as I was making her, I thought she kind of looked like a private eye. lol. I was wishing I could make a little trench coat, but that didn't happen. Help me think of a good name for her, would you? Private eye, remember.
I used Studio 490 stamps from It's Face Art and A Form of Art, grungeboard wings cut with the Heart and Wings die, a Silver paint dabber and Black Enamel Accents to give her some "attitude"!


The wings were run thru a CB folder - Victoria. The paper on the little grungepaper flowers is Paddington-7 Gypsies. The Vine is black chipboard and a Sizzix die, stamped with silver dabber and Wendy's background stamp. The scroll thingy at the top of the hanging is also a Sizzix die.

This is truly a fantastic piece of art, Lori. I really love the black and silver. All the texture and dimension are perfect - it catches your eye and makes you want to stop and stare at each small piece that makes up the overall impression. The tinsel is terrific too!

A huge congrats on having it featured on Wendy Vecchi's blog - very well deserved recognition!

Hugs,
Linda
