Anyone else ever have trouble thinking up post titles?!! Time to pop over to Lady Julia's for the best blog hop in town! Check it out
here .
This week sees some new Wendy Vecchi stamps on my floor. I had them on pre-order from The Stamp Attic and they arrived on Monday. So far I've inked up a couple but not used them properly.** (if you were around here on
Saturday you'll have seen my other new stash for this week!)
I wanted so many of the new release, eventually "allowed myself" to order two sets - but am sure it won't be long before I buy some others (after all, it's Ally Pally in a fortnight....)
**broke off typing this post to play!! Here's a tag I've made using some of these new stamps.
Tag is coloured with my new fave DI - Tea Dye (see earlier posts this week) and I've used the bubble wrap background (also in tea dye) then made some grungepaper flowers using the two new smaller flowers which match the big one from the 'be inspired - make art' set. I decided as I was going to hide the middle of the flower, to use my 'tiny attacher' (i.e. the Tim stapler) to fix the 3 flower layers together - it may be tiny, but it packs a punch through 3 layers of grungepaper, no problem! I used one of the type charms for the flower centre.
The butterfly is coloured with barn door DI. (the flowers are wild honey and crushed olive)
Not sure when I'll get to visit you all tomorrow, got an early meeting at work and may not have time at lunchtime to start my rounds!! Anyhow, I will get there, sometime. Sorry I couldn't leave comments on all your blogs last week, I tried - but blogger wasn't having it! Have a great Wednesday.
(This was meant to schedule for 6.30 but failed....)
Morning Helen, Just love your tag its beautiful love the colourings. Will have to wait until Ally Pally myself to buy some more stamps, spent too much at Craftbarn on friendly plastic stuff because I thought I would have a go. ha ha. Just love your Wendy Vecchi stamps I must admit I have not got them only Paper Artsy ones but will invest when I go to Ally Pally. Have a lovely day, big Hugs JO.xxx
ReplyDeleteI may not be a rubber stamper, but I sure love these. I've heard of the Wendy Vecchi stamps and now I know what they look like. YUM. Nice tag, too. Happy WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteReally love your tag. It's always fun to see what you paper crafters do with all your stash :-)

Ooh lovely, I love script on flowers, this is a fabby tag!
ReplyDeleteChrissie
Love that tag! The new stamps are fab too and so is your title. I just have really boring titles. Now that I think about it, maybe thats the reason that not even my sister comes to read my blog every day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag - I love DI and havent heard of some of these that you mention - I've lost touch!
ReplyDelete(no 64)

ReplyDeleteI struggle to Helen with think up titles for my posts I just have a mental block, mind you that's quite a frequent occurence for me LOL. More new stamps, must admit I have been naughty and purchased more rubber but like you I want everything and it does not take long for me to give in to the purchase. Great tag, love the stamps and the colour combination. Have a great day, Tracy Evans x

Hi Helen - yes i knew i had a problem with blog titles when I saw the one I was going to use today I had used a month ago !!
ReplyDeleteI've just completed my set of DI's too - its amazing how they all seem to go together even if you just pick 2 at random ! I have surcumbed to the Steampunk papers too & have a project lurking at the edge of my brain waiting to happen !!
oooh Helen what a lovely snoop Ive had today, thank you very much! Seeing those gorgeous stamps made me want to see Saturdays array too and disappointed I was not!
ReplyDeleteYouve given me such inspiration for arty stamps now and Im feeling quite tempted to have a little play!

Love that tag. Sounds like you all have a couple of great affairs over there in the UK Craft Barn and Ally Pally. Wish I could join everyone. Happy WOYWW from the USA
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS! That's my favorite flower stamp of Wendy's (for the moment, lol) I love all the sizes together, yours looks superb!

ReplyDeleteGreat creations this week hun xx Happy WOYWW, Sorry I'm a bit late xx Hugs Tina (#9) xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag, lucky you with your new stamps! I might just go and have a look at them....! Helen S
ReplyDeleteOh yum, what a great reason to break off from your blog! I like the stamps, particularly though, I like the text at the foot of the tag.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... if I broke in and stole some of your stash do you think you would notice anything missing from your mountain? lol. Sorry I'm late, blogger wouldn't let me play yesterday!
ReplyDeleteLovely new stamps!! The Tag is beautiful!! Another one here looking forward to Ally Pally! Thanks for leaving a message on my blog for my 1st week of joining in WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteFabulous tag and the stamps are gorgeous. Looking forward to Ally Pally but my bank manager isn't!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog Helen and leaving such a lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteI’m afraid I have a confession to make….the hand writing isn’t my own; it was done on the computer. My own handwriting is eligible most of the time so I make use of the computer whenever I can.
Your new stamps look gorgeous.
I’m looking forward to going to Ally Pally on the 25th too and having the chance to buy some new stash.

Love the look of your new stamps, Well done on restricting yourself to just two sets and you've certainly put them to good use, this tag is gorgeous. My Hubby asked me the other day why I thought Barn Door was so called, what do you think. All I could come up with was that maybe barns in the US are red!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Lisax
Loving your use of DI inks I must try to use mine more! Thank you for the blog comment :)
ReplyDeleteRach (84) xx
Hi Helen

Gosh, doesn't seem two minutes since you were last at AP... oh gosh - more stamps... wish i could join you there.

Paula x x x
Beautiful tag - I love how you've used the distress inks, and you've given me some ideas, because I really must crack mine out again!

ReplyDeleteHi there, wow great desk, beautiful tags. Thanks for the lovely birthday message you left me, hugs Heidi xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Helen its me no 118, thanks for visiting me and sorry you're not seeing Tim, but I am very very very excited at the prospect, its unfortunate the family will have to live on bread and dripping till then, but you have to suffer for your art, dont you think. . LOL :)
ReplyDeleteforgot to say those stamps look fab, love the grungy circle backgound
ReplyDeleteGreat tag. I love that you've really put your own stamp on it. (Sorry didn't mean to pun!) Enjoy your new stashes.
