a stampers anonymous/ Blossom Bucket bonanza...
let's get started with this
large fancy flower...
it's 2 inches & a very pretty creme color right from the package...
so you can use it, as is...
or add some alcohol inks...
(my favs are butterscotch & cloudy blue)
maybe a little archival...
it's alterable to any color you choose...
I'll show you below...
now...
be warned...
here comes MAJOR FUNKY...
you may have *noticed* that I have a *thing* for faces, eyes & glasses...
here's the first stampers anonymous stamp I ever purchased...
I found her when I first started stamping & had no clue what was going on...
or what I'd do with HER...
but I HAD to have her live with me...
she probably sat on a shelf for a year before I ever stamped her...
but being a wood mount, she was art, just sitting there...
so when I started my list of MUST DESIGN's for Blossom Bucket, I had her in mind...
which brings me to ...
the large lips!
these make me ecstatic...
they're a toned down red...
I've use them as is...
it's also fun to add some red pepper alcohol ink, for a bolder color...
or some vermillion archival for a little different red...
it's flipping fun to stamp on them too...
using archival...of course...
and add stickles for a really funky fun effect...
so, now if you go back to my original stamp release...
I designed a smaller altered version of the head...
I refer to her as the art chick...
she's on this art rules set...
that explains why we need the
mini lips...
these are the cutest little suckers...
EVER!
just 1/4 inch...
and they fit some other faces too...
how about some large stylish glasses,
perfectly sized to fit the phrenology head?
and there are some small stylish glasses to fit the art chick!
oops...forgot that photo...
but what chick wants to wear the same glasses every day?
how about some large FUNKY glasses?
sized for the phrenology head...
and of course...
small funky glasses for the little art chick...
these all look so cool when you full them with Glossy Accents...
and it's a good way to adhere them...
moving on to today's new stamp set...
this one is called
quality art...
the optometrist label...
another vintage find...
LOVED the graphics...
3 guys...
this is a twist with art parts...
only the guy on the left is an art part...
so if you need just one guy for a card, he's your man...
remember the saying from the other day
about standing out in the crowd?
perfect with this stamp too...
just layer the art part guy over the stamped image...
and their clothing allows them to work with steampunk too...
anyone can be ordinary...
I wanted this for my new business card...
I'll show you later in the post...
air mail...
a good filler stamp...
never send a naked envelope!
one little stamp is all you need...
for the record...
good for mini books/journals & cards...
it worked well for a birthday card I needed...
viewer discretion advised...
I heard an announcer on CNN say that one night & I thought it would be fun for altered art...
optical manufacturers association...
found this ad in a 1904 paper...
loved it immediately...
the giant worn striped background...
LOVE IT!
I used this again yesterday & this time I clear embossed it on an art part & used the distress stain over it...
awesome background...
here's quality art...
I wanted to show you the label, stamped on grungeboard...
and a peek @ the little art chick...
and here's the art for my new business card...
I hope you enjoyed today's post...
I'll be back on Monday with a HUGE post...
I haven't shown you any of the art parts packages yet...
plus I've got a few surprises I've not even hinted about yet...
YIPPEE!!!
have a GREAT inky weekend...
remember...
anyone can be ordinary...
BE UNIQUE...
and just
BE YOU...
when you...
make art!

Eeeeek! I'm going to go broke! You know how I feel about art chick. I met her for the first time on the cruise to Mexico, and it was love at first sight. I have her, and I have the phrenology head in two sizes, and today's goodies have me over the moon!

The lips - they're going to look so cool! The glasses are perfect. Love the three guys. It's great finding stamps that are so easy to use for guys - the more the merrier. The phrenology stamp was one of my first stamps too and I've never gotten tired of it. You go, girl!
