day 9...the voice of art...

thanks so very much for the comments, emails, FB posts & tweets...

I'm THRILLED that you're liking this release...

let me just say...

the best is yet to come...

I had so much fun...

funky to the MAX...

I might save that post for next week...

we'll see what develops...

today we have another set of new stamps...

this set is titled...

the voice of art...

first up is a fun vintage lady...

she is an art part too...

she's a whopping 4 inches tall...

because of her attire...

she fits right in with steampunk...

I immediately thought she looked like a stern teacher...

below she makes an appearance

with yesterdays (art school) stamp set...

the voices only spoke to her...

OMG...I used this the other day

on a REALLY fun & funky piece...

I can not wait to show you...

she thought housework was overrated & certainly NOT for her...

yep...that's me...

this is a good saying to use some of the words individually...

signed, sealed & delivered...

baby I'm yours...

I'll be using this on cards for Rick...

& I've used it with Mr & Mrs Worry...

for funky art...

next is a vintage ink pad...

another flea market find...

I LOVE the graphics on it...

I LOVE that it says St. Louis...

it's simple to cut out & use the whole image...

there's lots of little components that can be used alone too...

...but today...

my favorite thing is to use it

for a background stamp for small art parts...

like flowers...

& the wing below...

and finally a large background stamp...

a vintage receipt...

I girl can NEVER have enough background stamps...

another option is to use just the top portion for a border...

here it is stamped...

hey...GUESS WHAT?

I designed some

Blossom Bucket bottle caps!

I totally flipping love these guys...

I LOVE that they are a dull vintage gold...

I LOVE the dimension...

they are over 1/4 inch thick...

so they don't get lost in

multilayered grungepaper/CFA flowers...

here's the large bottle caps...

I've used them as a flower center right from the package...

I LOVE the worn black center...

you ***might*** have noticed yesterday

that some Blossom Bucket pieces fit in them...

did you?

and they will also be available in a smaller size...

be still my heart!

one of the other things that I have been doing with the bottle caps is punching a circle from an image...

adding that to the bottle caps & then filling them with Glossy Accents, to create custom epoxy embellishments...

LOVE them millions because

you can make anything you need...

be it a word...number...

a perfectly coordinated patterned paper accent ...

I used the bottle caps with some

funky stamped eyes

for a project I'll show you soon...

earlier this week I showed you the pink posies Blossom Bucket pieces...

I found the photo...

here's a SIMPLE gift idea...

I just dropped it in a bezel...

instant jewelry art...

day 9...

the voice of art and

Blossom Bucket vintage bottle caps...

did these speak to you?

(LOL...that fit right in)...

I think I'm inspired to head to the studio to...

make art!
