Life's fears and dreams

Running behind schedule again.  I've been busy sorting my stamp collection so I can downsize but I just had to take a break from all the bending, moving and decision-making.  Where have all those stamps come from and why are they in my collection?  

Why not see if I can create some art for the Grungy Monday and Simon Says Stamp & Show challenges?  Grungy Monday 15 features the amazing rusted enamel technique found on Tim Holtz's blog while stitching is all the rage over at SSS&S.  Tim's technique is on the larger tag; faux stitching is on that tag as well as a blanket stitch using gold thread.

Tim Holtz:  Stuff To Say stamp set; small rosette die, mini paper clip, key

Studio 490: faux stitches from Just Sew Artsy set

Ranger:  Old Paper, Vintage Photo, Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, Black Soot, Walnut Stain Distress Inks; Perfect Pearls Gold mist

DecoArt:  Mocha Creme Paper Perfect (behind the text image)
