Splat, Stamp, Stitch!

Hello once again. Is it really Monday again. I think someone is sneakily speeding up the planet whilst I am asleep. Ah yes, sleep. Just a memory of days gone by since the arrival of my baby girl. 

Anyway, back in Blogland we are having a week featuring the letter S at Simon Says Stamp & Show! That could be stripes, spots, stash, stamps, sticky stuff, summer, Steampunk, to name but a few. As the title says, I went with Splat, Stamp and Stitch.

l thought it was time to get out the rest of my Ringmaster stamps as only the 'tash had been inked up. I have always loved this hand from my Steampunk set and now i have a big one to point the way..... The great thing about these 'sketched' stamps is being able to cut just the main image out if needed like I have done.

I love brown and blue together, be it feminine or grungy as here. I used a piece of Destinations paper for the blue base and had a free for all splatty time with my Vintage Photo Distress Stain. I always squeeze a little onto my craft mat first to get a wet applicator sponge tip and a nice juicy splat.

My white craft room wall is no longer white since being painted last summer that's for sure... l stamped the images onto cream cardstock and used Distress Ink to give an aged effect. I stamped and cut two words again on the tag for a bit of dimension.

I decided to add a few numbers to the blue card, then stitched around the edges and then assembled everything with a bit of my trusty parcel string for added depth. I decided to add a few numbers to the blue background, stitched  around the edges and then assembled it all with a bit of my trusty parcel string for added depth. Splat! Stitch! Stamp! Job done!

So now it's over to you and time for you to get busy with your "S"! Take a look at how the rest of the Design Team played around with the challenge here! All their creations are fabulous as always. Do join in! We are on the hunt for our top three artists and there is this very generous $50 voucher to be won too.
And with that, and a hop, skip and a jump (well kind of...) she was away. Have a great week and big thanks to all of you for so much continued support and bloggy visits!!!!
Until soon, Sarah.
