Creatively Wendy!

When this month's stamp set for Creative Expressions was revealed I gave a whoop of joy! The sets have just been getting more and more exciting each month and this month is no exception! Regular readers will know I am a huge fan of the incredibly talented Ms Vecchi and this month's stamp set is the fabulous Sentimental Art set. If you don't know Wendy's stamps then you are in for a treat. They are fabulously designed and etched on red rubber and pre-mounted so they are ready to stamp! The stamps also coordinate beautifully with each other so if you have a few sets then you'll see the possibilities are endless!

I made a tag for my SIL's birthday. The tag was stamped with blue Distress Ink on the incredibly fabulous fabric background stamp. I added Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the edges of the tag just to give a little definition and to compliment the flower.  For the flower I used Wendy's Funky Flower set on 
Glassine paper and curled the paper slightly. The stalk and leaf are stamped on white card and coloured with Peeled Pain Distress Ink. The sentiment is stamped onto a Journalling Ticket which was scrumpled up and inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I also stamped the ticket stamp form the set twice in the background. A little coordinating ribbon finishes it off!

To show this in another colour-way Freya (11) made a tag for her best friend's birthday. She's a little bolder than me in the colour department! Having said that the purple and orange works really well together and the sentiment was stamped in Spiced Marmalade Distress Stain and it looks really fabulous stamped with the stain so I'll be experimenting with that next year!
