the perfect combo!
BEWARE...
I am posting links to help you SHOP!
it's my duty...
hey...what are friends for?
Ok...
it killed me go give this to Ted & Michelle for a booth sample,
especially since I realized that I didn't take photos when it was completed...
duh...
in a hurry I guess...
I am IN LOVE with the new art parts creative covers, because they are so versatile...
they can be covered with paper, painted, inked, color washed, distress stained, tissue taped or inked and stamped...
and speaking of stamps...
tim's sized these for a PERFECT FIT for both the large & small creative covers...
below is the small creative cover, adorned with some fun art parts...
I'm thrilled with how some art parts have coordinating stamps...
like these ink bottles...
the outsides are covered with tim's yummy new kraft resist,
then misted with color washes...
the mini butterfly was stamped with the gold dabber onto "clearly for art BLACKOUT"...
the flower is an art part...
as is the scallop...
"evidence of art" seemed a good title for this project...
the paint brush was stamped on grungeboard & cut out...
and don't miss tim's new cute nib...
you can see Claudine's sticky back canvas holds it all together...
grrr...the back cover wasn't complete here...
the dress form was fun...
on the spine I used tim's new alpha parts...
it says...I STAMP!
the letters are mounted on the insert from the new art parts mini frame...
tim's ring binder is held onto the art parts spine with fasteners...
again, I used the kraft resist for inside the covers & misted them with butterscotch, denim, sailboat blue & meadow color washes...
this shows how the kraft resist really does...
RESIST...
one more thing about the creative covers...
they aren't only for books...
since they don't have holes, they make a great solid surface for the base of projects too...
I like the large size...
tim made a cool project for CHA with the large cover & his ring binder...
I hope he'll post a photo to show you...
the new heart is on the small square art parts frame...
YIKES...
I REALLY am addicted to the kraft resist...
used it here too...
but this time I inked it with the new distress stains...
the red is fired brick...
the blue is weathered wood...
forest moss was used to ink the frame, after I clear embossed it, with my polka dot background stamp...
the wings were die cut from grungeboard...
& inked with weathered wood distress stain...
the flower is stamped on Blackout...
I used tim's new drill punch to put a hole in the new nib, so I could hang it from a hitch fastener...
it works like a dream...
with love...
there are 3 sizes in the set with lots of mix & match possibilities...
the base for this piece is from the large art parts square frame...
these pieces were all inked with the new distress stains...
this time I used wild honey, walnut stain, weathered wood and forest moss...
the flower is an art part & it has a coordinating stamp...
makes it easy to stamp an extra flower on grungepaper to add some dimension...
it you look @ the bottom of the smaller house...
"proprietor" is from my most favorite medicine bottle stamp...
it's stamped on a straight flower stem, cut down to fit the house...
LOTS of new stamps on this guy...
the roof is this background...
the green house is this one...
art is here...
and the flower...(it was changed from the one on the top right to this style..
I liked it better!)
the little arrow is cut from this arrow border...
here's my shopping strategy...
I'm doing separate orders...
stamps & items shipping in February on one order, so I don't have to wait...
March items with March...
that way there will be something NOW & something coming soon...
I like that...
my stamps are done & shipping to those who ordered first...
art parts are scheduled to ship @ the end of Feb...
beginning of March...
again...
store owners who ordered first, get their orders shipped first...
phew...
after looking @ all these new things...
I think I'll run to the studio to...
make art!
wendy
ps...I hope the hubbies don't hate me...

I'm looking forward to seeing your new book with all the projects. Your new line is the best.
Who knew February could be such an expensive month?
Still....cheaper than therapy, right?
Love all your samples, Wendy. I'd go make art myself, but I can't find my work table. Time for a clean-up I guess. :(
