hello & happy weekend!
I have another fun new studio 490 stamp set that needs a new home...
this one is titled...
remnants of art...
this set is so loaded with rubber that the ruler stamp, which has a coordinating art part, had to be placed on the storage sheet sideways...
the giant background is fun to use as a whole stamp & it is also great to cut apart & use some of the words individually...
and speaking of remnants...
if you're a frequent blog reader, you know that I HATE to waste art supplies...
and I'm always digging something out of the trash in the studio...
below is the new art parts large sweetheart frame...
I peeked this a few weeks ago...
it's covered with scraps (remnants) of tim's kraft resist paper...
I applied matte Glue N Seal to sections of the frame, then randomly added left over pieces of the paper...
none are the same width...
I just used up whatever I had...
I brayered them for a strong bond...
if you use a brayer when gluing paper to a surface, you'll see the bond is quick & strong & that the paper edges don't lift...
once the heart was completely covered, I inked it with vintage photo distress stain, dried it, then distressed the edges with the blending tool using walnut stain ink...
and lastly I added black soot with the blending tool to add a little extra distressing @ the very edge...
it looked like this...
to finish the frame, I inked with new art parts flourishes with
walnut stain distress stain, dried them, then misted them with the new (quickly becoming a favorite)...
it creates awesome...vintage looking bling...
the saying pretty much describes me...
it's true...
I wanted to add something "unusual"...
the vintage handle is a flea market find & was a good fit...
the Random generator chose #7 today...
the lucky winner of the "speaking of art" stamp set is...
SusanK said...Another set that will, one way or another, make it's way into my collection. The projects are super, as always. Hey, can you push some of that rain south? We've had less than 1/2" all month when we usually have about 4.75".
SUSAN...
please email your shipping info & Rick will run to the PO with your package! (wbv1213@me.com)
if you'd like the "remnants of art" stamp set to live with you...
just leave a comment...
the winner will be randomly chosen @ 7am on MONDAY morning...
so you have all weekend to comment...
I leave you with this thought...
the moral of today's post is to USE those remnants...
don't toss them...
you can use them to...
make art!
wendy
PS...
you can find all 25 NEW DISTRESS STAINS...
here &
and FOR sure you'll want the picket fence distress stain...
it works well with all the stains & all the distress inks too!

I would like any remnants of your art Wendy!! Truly. Great project, the background stamps are awesome, as usual!
I can't believe I am the first to comment. Never happened before. As always love what you create wish I had just one ounce of your talent.
Great use of scraps! This is my favorite new stamp set yet. Hope I win! Have a great weekend.
love the heart and how you used the leftovers....that ruler in the new stamps grabbed my eye! Thank you for sharing once again. ksh
Scraps...thanks for the reminder. I save them but always forget to go through them when I'm arting.
And...THE RULER...I MUST have the ruler. Really, I MUST!!
I always forget about the scraps! Love this stamp set too! the ruler...rules (lol cheesy) Awesome project TFS
I love the ruler stamp! I'm addicted to rulers lately! I love all your stamps and I'm nuts about the art parts. I just ordered all the new stains and I can't wait to play!
Congrats Susan! And great use of remnants!! Less trash in the land fill too! Nice vintage handle flea market find! For a moment there I thought the post said "Booze Perfect Pearls mist"! Guess my eyes are playing tricks on me. Of course the post reads "Bronze Perfect Pearls Mist". Happy Friday!
Another great background stamp in this set! The art part flourished are gorgeous! I will be getting a couple sets of those right off the bat!
Congrats to Susan! I would love to win. Yes , I save scraps of papers too! Sometimes they are fun just to stick all together and see what happens. Love this project that you made.
That's a perfect win for SusanK. Today's stamp set and how you showcased it are both wonderful!
Oh, thank you random generator!!! I'm so excited! And this stamp set is just as awesome! You're supposed to throw stuff away? Gasp! Only recently have I started tossing little pieces out because I know it's only a matter of time and I'll have another bag filled ready for that one little space that needs something.
I love "remnants of Art" and give thanks for the chance to win it!
Great use of leftover paper scraps and a great tip about using the brayer!
Congrats to the winner! Rulers, rulers, rulers - I love the ruler stamps.
I too hate throwing out scraps especially your Clearly for Art scraps. They are all tucked nicely in a shoe box, just not sure what to do with them yet. Anywho, love the flourishes on the heart. Can't wait to order some of these new art part sets. Have a great weekend.
oh wow!! that heart frame is brilliant!! love it!! =)
hugs, SannaS
Hey Wendy just wanted to say I just adore that heart, gorgeous xx well done to susan!

I have found my self using leftover scraps alot more in my projects and I would LOVE to win today's stamp set!
Gorgeous piece of art! LOVE the heart creation....probably one of my favs yet! And speaking of favs this stamp set is definately my favorite of the new releases!! I have been wanting a ruler stamp just like that for months!!! Thanks for a chance to win!
Love the ruler stamp, and I never throw scraps away, have them all squirreled away waiting for the next project.
Thanks for the tip about the brayer, just planning a project where that will work beautifully. love your finished frame.
The only thing which might cure the huge headache I have is hearing that I've won the stamp set for today! I'm sure I would pick up immediately and start creating . . . and forget about this pain behind my eyes! Can only hope . . . .

Your heart frame is so pretty. The handle is the right finishing touch. Thank you for the tip of using the brayer. Love the vintage label in the stamp sets. I do not know why, but I love vintage labels. Thank you for the chance to win one of your wonderful stamp sets!
I love to go thru my bags of "stuff", and end up with a card or a project out of it! It's fun to see where it will take you...sometimes good, sometimes not so much! Thanks for sharing your lovely work of art with us, it is truly beautiful!
Well done, Susan - lucky lady! I have lots and lots of remnants to use one day.... Love what you did with the art part.
Today's giveaway is one of my faves from the new set so will keep hoping! Have a great weekend, making art!
Loving the ruler! I also hate to waste anything, the inspiration is amazing.

I love the frame! I also love the "remnants of art" set! Thanks so much for the chance!
Your sweetheart frame is beautiful. I am so inspired seeing how you used remnants. Recently I've found myself tossing in the trash (in an effort to clean up), but I now will have to look at that trash can in a whole new light.
That heart from is gorgeous! Love all the goodies on it!

Congrats to SusanK for winning from yesterday! I know she'll have a blast with the set!
I'm a believer in saving scraps too; only downfall to that is I find myself (like right now) drowning in them!
Congrats to Susan on winning. Hoping tomorrow is my turn. :)
