Welcome to my Monday-I Brake For Stamps share! Today, I have a colorful thank you card to share. I've had this particular sheet of stamps for awhile.....it's a sheet full of vintage and kitchy images. You can see it here, in the I Brake For Stamps Store. See what I mean? Kitchy....paintbrushes, mustaches, body builders, Chatty Cathy....It's such a great sheet with amazing random images.
I have to admit, though, the paint brushes had me stumped for a bit.....somewhere, recently, I saw a project that was colorful and inspiring--it stuck with me :)
I began with some watercolor paper, archival black ink, and a bunch of distress inks. After stamping the brush image multiple times, I added blocks of distress ink color with my aqua brush. I always forget how much fun water coloring is. I like the look of it and really should spend more time with this coloring medium. I've been stuck in the marker box (because I just adore my alcohol ink markers!) for quite awhile...new year, new me? LOL!!
I added the sentiment and then a few sequins--yes, they are my new obsession! I'll let you in on a little secret......I smudged some ink in the flourish of the "T"---the sequin is just hiding my oops! I'm a survivor and a true believer in reinventing my mistakes. It works in ALL areas of my life ;)
Make sure to stop over and say "Hi Dee Ho" to my sweet friend, Bo Bella, over at I Brake For Stamps headquarters! You can save a cool 10% at checkout with my coupon code, SAVE10JANE--have fun!
