Simon Says Stamp and Show Men Only

A man with a bird cage on his head, now is that imagination or what, I am sure if the bird was only perched on his shoulder it would certainly fly away. I love this stamp from Tim Holtz and have not had the opportunity to use it until today.

I've stamped him on Tim's Kraft resist paper that was inked with Distress Stain in faded jeans and distressed the edges with antique linen distress ink, also added the ruler from Tim Hotz Salvage Stickers crowded attic. The tag is covered with Tim's Distress Stain in wild honey, it's one of my favourite colours. I then inked the edge of the tag with frayed burlap and added Tim's stamp from his visual artisty collection the quote Imagination is more important than knowledge. It just seemed too perfect with this image. With both stamps I used jet black archival ink from Ranger. The Muse tokens and Philosophy Tags were added along with some hemp twine and then attached it to the card with ZOTS 3D. Finally after using the ATG to secure it to the card base I glued the Tim Holtz ball chain with Helmars quick dry adhesive.
