hello & happy Monday!
today I have the final new studio 490 stamp set to give away...
this one is called...
for the arts...
the gentleman reading the paper has a coordinating art part...
I love the footprints as a border & it works vertically or horizontally ...
this is fun & EASY to stamp across an envelope & it gives the PO folks something fun...
there's no need to send a naked envelope!
I used one of the sayings for this project...
it's the new large pocket watch art part frame...
you can see that I've used both new & current stamps & art parts...
the new mini mustache art part is used as his ascot...
the paper in the background is tim's kraft resist & it's inked with weathered wood distress stain...
have I mentioned how much I LOVE the stains?
they are awesome on art parts & really a time saver...
the belt looks cool stamped on grungeboard...& another advantage of making your own embellishments...
it can be inked any color to customize it for your art...
tim's drill punch makes perfect tiny holes in the belt to make it more realistic...
use this drill just once & you'll LOVE it...
here's a better look @ the saying & the bird with the Clearly for Art wings...
the wings are 2 petals from a flower stamp...
it was fun to use tim's bead chain in a unique way...
speaking of bead chain...I *think* it's discontinued...
don't see it in the current catalog...
I'm ordering more here...
I've had several people ask which of the new distress stains are my favorite...
and which they should start with...
several asked for my top 5 or 6 stain colors...
YIKES...that's hard...
so this is JUST FROM THE NEW 25...
OK...
but FOR SURE...picket fence, because it works with every distress color...
the one I was dying to get is rusty hinge & that makes me so happy...
the other day I used black soot stain over raw wood...
it's flipping cool...really cool...
and I waited FOREVER (or so it seems) for faded jeans...
and I LOVE mustard seed...
brushed corduroy stain is a great color...
and tumbled glass & bundled sage...
seriously...every stain color is cool...
but the colors above seem to be my GO*TO colors recently...
the winner of Friday's stamp set is...

Oh Wendy!!! I love that stamp set!!! I wish I could get to Buffalo or Savage -- I was in Washington, last week but it is a 10 hr drive! I stopped at the Queen's Ink! I also have been to Buffalo Stamps and Stuff, many times - but I can't make the trip when you are there. I am in Ottawa and NO ONE sells your stamps around here!!! How I would love to win! Thanks for your all of your ideas for ART!
I love this set, great for cards and art projects. The footprints would be great across an envelope with a hand written letter inside. I still write a few to family members that don't have computers.
Love this set it is perfect and that guy is to die for!
The footprints are just darling and I love the "art timepiece" you created! I am hoping the surprise class location is in Illinois.... please!!!
LOL! I tried to write "ooh," as in "ooh, I love this set!" but it was autocorrected to "poo"! Glad I checked! Your pocket watch project is amazing, too. I'm going to have to stare at it for a long while today! Have a great Monday! Hugs, Karen
This is a great set for masculine projects! Love the watch part piece you made.
Yep, gotta get this set!
This is another great set. I love that you have given us so many man stamp choices.
Love this set, have left my comment! The art part today looks fab - I have to get some more of these.
Thanks for all your giveaways, and to Ted and Michelle too, for yur generosity. Hope I get lucky.... lol!
Wendy-you the best! Your art is totally amazing and makes me want to create more art! I want all your stamp sets and art parts! Hope to take a class soon with art parts!
Just bought another stain color today. Tring to get them all, but the news one or not at my favorite store yet.
I have just added your favorites to my "must get scrap list"!
Your art amazes me!
I need this one, it has my motto on it! Acting Normal is quite hard! LOL and ROFL!
Can't wait to get some of these new stamps. Have to get a paycheck soon!
