Simon Says Stamp and Show THE Wendy Vecchi Style!

I have been collecting Wendy Vecchi stuff for the past year and this is my first attempt at putting together some art.  I chose a sewing theme because I have been sewing since  I was 5 years of age....I am now 58  so you can see this has been a huge part of my life.




I used parts from Maya Road Still Sew Cute Chipboard Set.  Buttons from Lost and Found.  Tim Holtz idea-ology light bulbs, Hanger is from 7 gypies I believe  I also used a hanger, safety pin, hitch fastener, mini fasteners and swivel clasp from Tim's collections.  The background is from Tim Holtz Kraft Resist paper stash.  The Wendy Vecchi art parts is from the Studio 490 Sample Pack and Dress Forms & more.

I have used Tim Holtz's distress stains in antique linen, wild honey and faded jeans.  I also used Tim's distress inks in Barn Door, bundled sage and frayed burlap.    I made a perfect pearl spray using Green Patina and bundled sage reinker.  The ribbon is Tim Holtz's dyed with antique linen distress stain.  The ring on the hand is a crystal from Imaginisce.

The stamps I used were from Wendy Vecchi's Destination Art and Art by Hand.  I also used Tim Holtz's stamp from World Traveller, and Psychedelic Grunge.  The ink used for the stamps is Archival Ink in coffee and Jet Black.

Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave me a comment.
