Believe all things are possible

Boy, does this ever fit the challenge I had making this tag.  Over on the EWV Yahoo group we're doing periodic challenges based on Wendy's books, much like the ATT Yahoo group did using Tim's Compendium of Curiosities

Challenge #4 was all about using Wendy's 'perfect stamping' technique which can be found in her blog posts here and here.  Well, I could possibly believe this technique works with the stamps I chose...maybe if I used other colors?  Oh well, it is what it is.

I did use blues for my background with some vintage photo.  It's hard to see the technique used on the two outside flowers but I did use them differently.  The center flower was stamped and heat embossed with black soot distress powder.  The flower didn't take so I stamped out 2 of Wendy's small roses using some scrap cardstock, crumpled, distressed, etc. and made them the new flower.  An old button and some white heart lace that was colorized with various distress inks and sprays add some dimension and hopefully make it all look put together and finished.  lol  All stamps are from 'Art-fully Said'.
