introducing...stampers anonymous/studio 490 stamps!

I'm soooooooo very excited to show you the very first piece I made with...

studio 490 stamps. YIPPEE!!

So...without further ado...........here you go...




This piece had been in my mind since I designed the leaves... My idea was to have an outline of leaves that could be stamped on grungeboard (or cardstock), cut out EASILY and then overstamped with any stamp. I used the windowscreen stamp...but you can EASILY change the look by overstamping them with dots...text...plaid...script...actually any background stamp. I like having tons of options...it never has to look the same!

There are 5 studio 490 stamps on this piece. Can you spot them?
I gave you a hint above...

TALK to me...let me know what you think!
I'll be waiting to hear...AND...

Come back tomorrow for a Christmas peek...I love this one! I think it has 8 studio 490 stamps and lots of detail...
THANKS!

What a wonderful day for you! I am so happy, thrilled, excited etc... I wish you all the best with your newest venture!!!

OK, how about:
Leaves
Windowscreen texture
Sentiment
Tag
Texture on tag reinforcer

That's my best guess :) Love the stamps, they are FABULOUS!!

Erin Glee said...

WENDY! This is so cool! I love the branch of leaves & the tag!

I'm guessing the 5 stamps are 1) leaves, 2) screen, 3)tag, 4)sentiment and 5) distress "spatter"

I'm so glad you can show us your designs at long last...were you about to burst?

Unknown said...

Very elegant sample. So happy for you. My guesses are the leaves, the pattern on the leaves, the tag, the sentiment, the numbers used on the tag (maybe???). Priya

Oh, it's fantastic! Congratulations! I will also guess the grungy spots and the tag stamp! I cant' wait to see what's next!

borcherding said...

HOLY MOLY!!! That is BEAUTIFUL!! I absolutely LOVE it all!!!

Unknown said...

i love the tag, so i am hoping that is one of them!!

Katie Watson said...

Wendy, this is SO pretty!! I am sooo glad that you did the leaves with the vine....it doesn't look too hard to cut out either, THANK you for that!

butterfly843 said...

Love the card!

KAT said...

Okay my best guess... Leaves, screen print on the leaves, sentiment, tag and tag reinforcer (maybe something else on the tag but it's hard to tell)

Looks wonderful and Christmas tomorrow... Can't wait!!!

Paper Patti said...

Congrats, Wendy!! Love this project, especially the leaves. Can't wait to see more.

Cecile Nichols said...

Congratulations, Wendy! Your debut is impressive!! I think these images are fantastic. What a great idea to make the leaves to use the way you did! I love the tag/ticket! I'm so anxious to see all of your new images!!

Thanks for sharing your art!!

Wonderful wonderful...sorry I have been so busy with getting things ready here so I can see you at CHA that I've not stopped by since Sunday.

You had four listed. I still think there is a background stamp, but it looks a bit like watermarks, tiny tiny and they go across the tag too.????

Since I haven't read the post above all this may be a point cleared! LOL
