is the new challenge theme over at
Simon Says Stamp & Show this week! I must say that "talking" was definitely my first thought, and until my wee lassie came along, I was just as verbally active in my blog posts. Aaah, those were the days...
Anyway, back on Planet Crafty, what am I known for? Tricky, as I love a whole range of styles. After a lot of thought I could see a few things that definitely make my list. In the past I have mentioned how my dance background has effected my art and therefore I'm going for my "Three D's!" Dimension, detail and design.
That trio always gets a look-in when I'm busy creating.
Also, after taking a ride through my blog, it wasn't long before I had to admit that I do like to host the odd Wendy Vecchi Arty Party!
So, I decided to create a piece with three small offerings of the said Wendy goodies...
All my Art Parts are now residing in a bright red valise case under my desk and I have built p quite a collection. I decided to dive in and make use of many of the smaller pieces which I often have left over after creating a bigger work. I used some panels from the five panel frame set as my bases, covered them in Retro Grunge Paper and then stamped the backgrounds. Then I set off in full "My Three D's" gear playing around with the design and dimension...
I love to spend hours working on composition, just playing around until it feels right to me. When I was happy I then used my trusty Distress Stains to colour my pieces before stamping them all with an array of fabulous Wendy stamps. I also like to edge the pieces with Distress Ink for extra effect.
As you can see I have managed to create some depth by layering the pieces up and the details come from a little Idea-ology, Blossom Bucket Buttons and the stamped wording. I wanted to display them together and this old folding wooden ruler winked at me at just the right moment! A perfect fit, even f I do say so myself. So there you go, a bit of crafty me and by golly, a lot of wordy waffle after all!
This is a really great challenge theme - the chance to celebrate your own inky style and share it with everyone. How fabulous is that? Take a look at the wonderful creativity from my talented team-mates over at the Design Team Blog and then get started on your masterpiece!

A beautiful piece of work with fabulous dimension, I'd be more than happy to hang this in my home! Love the colours of the art part pieces decorated with distress stains, they are very rustic but also with a modern feel. Just so different. Maddy x
Sarah...I so love this piece. It's brilliantly thought out and put together. I love the Art Parts and how you've used them to perfection. Love the colors...very calming and perfectly coordinated. I think the three words that you've picked out seem to fit your personality..."dream" "delight" and "love". I love the way you've used so many of Wendy's stamps to embellish the Art Parts, too. It's really a lovely piece. <3 Candy
Wow Sarah, definitely a very YOU piece. Love how you used up your smaller art part pieces, the colouring is fantastic and the ruler background is perfect. Love it. Hugs, Anne x
Hi Sarah, hope you are all well. I always love to see your use of Art Parts, which you always colour so beautifully and your use of colour combinations is always so eye catching. I love the three words you have used too. Really creative as always. Tracy x x
Fantastic! You are known for so much creativity, and this wall hanging is a perfect example. Love you use of the APs and how you've colored all these.
I always think of you as having great use of color, and amazingly good with the art parts so I LOVE that your project this week uses both!! I love all of your details and inky goodness on this project - and as always I look forward to seeing what you create each week.
So gorgeous,Sarah and so YOU! I love your style because you make it your own version of Wendy's. And you do tend to use a lot of my favorite colors! Such detail! Love it!
