Simon Says Stamp and Show

WOW, I was chosen for the Top 3 for my entry to Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge "Things with Wings". I'm over the top excited and feel so honored to be chosen and proud to display the blinkie at right!! Thank you!! And thank you everyone for the nice comments on my blog, I appreciate them!!

The challenge for this week is Simon Says Stamp and Show Your... The Wendy Vecchi; Studio 490 Style. I just love Wendy's Style, I have had the pleasure of meeting her at CHA and watching her demo AWESOME!! I haven't been privileged to take a class from her yet, but hope to one day!! My entry for this weeks challenge I used Wendy's technique of using Adirondack Snowcap Ink first then distress ink over it that was recently posted on her blog. It gives it a more chalky look to things. Cool technique!! I wish I wouldn't have added the glossy accents to the saying, but it needed something so tryed it, live and learn!! And yep, yep, yep I'm really into the spool thing!! Again, picture was taken indoors with poor lighting! It has either been to windy here or raining! But hey, it sure beats the heat and humidity we've had here for the last month!! So everyone head over to
http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/ and show your stuff!!!

Hope I have made sense with this post, I have my 2 1/2 yr. old grandson Jackson here with me today so needless to say this post has started & stopped a few times!!!
Have a good one!!
