First, I saw Hels challenge for the Sunday Stampers...to use a resist technique. I had an idea immediately come to mind, which almost never happens, so I went with it. I'd been wanting to try the new Studio 490 background stamp from Sentimental Art that looks like fabric...hang on, I'll get a pic for you....
So, I used it with Snowcap pigment ink, and it kinda turned out light, but you can see it....
Bundled Sage is the color of ink I chose to blend over the image. All the stamps are Studio 490. The flower is grungeboard, inked and Perfectly Pearled (yep, a valid art term) with Blue Smoke. A little bauble and bling at the top...
For the Making Art! Challenge on the EWV group last week, the challenge was to use one a small stamp repeatedly on the background. I'm keeping with the idea to make 6 x 6 pages for a book...so....
I said to myself..."self, let's see how good these distress ink colors go together". So, I just grabbed and pulled three out, Pine Needles, Aged Mahogany, and Mustard Seed. You wouldn't think that combo would look good together, would you? But hey, I thought it looks AWESOME! They really do go with each other! lol!
Then I decided that my favorite Studio 490 dude should be riding the bird..because...well... being normal is quite tiring... as the sentiment says.... lol....see how time almost got away from him? Oh, I crack myself up...
Any hoo....let's hope I can keep the momentum rolling here...can't make any guarantees....
Thanks so much for stopping by..I truly appreciate it and your comments!

You're too funny! Love both pieces!
You're right, those colours look amazing together! I saw this new Wendy stamp in the store today and I stood there...but I bought another of hers. After touching each and every one and drooling for a period of time. A LONG period of time. When I get moved, I'll be taking part in your WV challengesa. Honest. That's the plan. I have three of her sets now. :-))
GORGEOUS... both of them... totally GORGEOUS! I love that all the DI's seem to go together... I have tried so many different combo's and they all look fab! Thanks for joining in with the Sunday Stamper x
both art pieces are fab - love the tag - but the EWV one - oh wow those colours are fab, and your sense of humour is right on track as always. Don't think I'm going to get time to do this one sadly (wanted to!) but things have got in the way.
Fabulous pieces Lori, love the tag with the resist, that stamp is gorgeous in the background and I love your second creation, the colours are fabulous and I love your dude riding the bird LOL, very humorous. Tracy x x
Two fabulous pieces. I've used the technique and agree all the distress stains work together, even ones which you think wouldn't. xx
Fabulous projects!! I wouldn't have guessed how great those colors go together but, WOW! That's awesome! Love the boy on the bird too!
You crack me up, too!!
Love how you did that background stamp. Nice work!
Very nice work! I love the colors you used.
Fun pieces, Lori! I really love the background of your 6x6 - I love the repeating tiny text stamp and the bold colors work so well. The fabric background stamp is a great one - I may be needing that one ;-)
Loving both these wonderful pieces Lori, such fabulous colour choices. x
I really like the tag for the EWV group. The colors really DO look great together. And I love the effect of the small stamp pattern.
I'm so loving these, Lori! The colors are fantastic on both and the guy on the bird is awesome. I also really like what you did with the scalloped edge stamp twice on the top piece... it looks like a curtain sort of... very cool!
Both fabulous pieces but my favourite has to be the man on the bird!! love how you did that :)
You crack me up too and do you always talk to yourself. hahaha. No worries so do I!!!!
Great cards Lori, love how those colors went together! who wouda thunk it!
