...lol!
Well, at least I got your attention.
For the latest challenge over at the EWV Yahoo! Group, the theme is a bottle or bottles. I've been wanting to ink up some of the new Studio 490 stamps.....so I did. lol.
The STANO card (old Stanley Home Products) is from SusiCreates , who had sent it to me, oh, a couple of years ago. I'm finally getting around to using it....I have a hard time covering stuff up. I haven't glued the piece to the card, I might move it up to the middle of the card...let me know what you think.
Any HOO....all stamps are Studio 490, of course. The guy image didn't come with a hat..I had some chipboard hats, and as luck would have it, a bowtie shape, my friend Deb had given me...so I went with a top hat covered with Distress Stickles...I think he looks pretty dapper. lol.
Thanks to a reminder demo by the lovely Ms. Linda yesterday at class...I covered the metal numeral with UTEE...gold, platinum and bronze. Thanks Linda, for reminding me of this awesome technique!
Art Parts Circle is the base, as is the Ink Bottle with coordinating stamp. The little Orange Pekoe Tea label is 7 Gypsies Mini labels...love those!
The ink nib is from my friend Michael....(found it! lol!) I dipped it in Pitch Black alcohol ink to make it look ...well....inky. lol.
Ok, now on to a new product find from Stampaway. It was at Darcie Heater's booth...Darcie's Country Folk... and it makes the base of the LIFE IS ART...above... Introducing....
Cast and Paint. Accompanying molds...
Hope this finds my Eastern friends doing ok after Irene....will be thinking of you!
Thanks for stopping by...as always...Go Be Creative!
28 watcha thinkin'?:
Neat-o! Hope to have some time to get inky by the end of the week.

I like it! I want to move it up to the middle of the Stano card to visually balance it but I have a hard time covering stuff up, too!
Love all the details that you put into your work!
I have a hard time covering up stuff too! It looks fab the way it is, love all the details!! Great job as usual Lori!!
Cool piece. Hope to have time later today or tomorrow. Glad your class was fun. Ended up working that day.
I love it!! I love the colors and all of the little details and elements that you put together. I say glue it...don't cover up that cool bg.
Funny thing about you and molds!
Great challenge piece! I actually like it where you put it so that you can see the top of the card.
I love it just like it is Lori. A really cool piece.
Oooooo Lori this is fabby dabby, love love love what you have created with the new Studio 490 goodies, can't wait to get my mitts on these. x
Fabulous piece Lori, that guy is very dapper in his hat and bow tie. Love the ruler too, great piece of art. The paint and cast looks very intriguing too. I need a five storey building for everything I want and need to store LOL. Tracy x
This is so cool! Love that card - you could always scan it and save the original. Print it out and glue it to chipboard. Just a thought!
I love those little molds too - so many possibilities!
Lori, this is fantastic! What a great inspiration piece!
Wow Lori this is so fabulous. Inspirational work. Annette x
Brilliant piece! I love the dapper gent! x

Cool project, Lori! You have such a way with coloring art parts.... they look fantastic!

I love this - that STANO card's too cool! Ok, you still have to explain/teach me 'bout UTEE!!
This challenge has kicked my tush ... yours rocks!
Lori, I'm loving your dapper ART and the many steps/techniques you used to achieve such a wonderful piece! Diann
