Simon Says ,,,,, Put a Stamp On It Challenge and Blog Hop!!

Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an interest in exclusively selling rubber stamps. It didn’t take long until we realized we couldn’t stop there. Over the past 10 years we celebrate rubber stamping in its full glory by giving access to people around the world to a one stop shop. Rubber stamps still remain the heart of our business and we are celebrating by hosting a STAMPtember ™ event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the greatness of rubber stamping. Part of the enticement of rubber stamping is that stamps can be used in creating or complementing ANYTHING! From stamping dates on bank documents and postage parcels in the early 18th century, rubber stamping has dramatically expanded to include card making,scrapbooking, mixed media and many forms of altering and expressing art.

We are celebrating with aSTAMP-TEMBER BLOG HOP !!This is the last stop of the hop :-) You should have arrived here fromSarah's Blog ,if you didn't, then you will need to go to the Simon Says Stamp Blog where the hop starts :-)

Doodlebug Suggar Coating with her ground by Ranger's Perfect Medium.
I used the First Edition - Up, Up and Away  and used them with this and Washi tape  to create the background and manage to show some of it  and not all covered !!!

Challenges

Make it Monday

Everybody Art Challenge

This is the second I have published this - the first time disappeared - it left the image put took all the text away!!! So here I go again!!!

This is the new  Everybody Art Challenge which is Vintage.

The image is one that has been in by file for yonks - I don't know why I haven't used it before as it is so beautiful!! I did find it difficult not having anything go colour though,

The papers are old ones for K&Company call Roam - perfect for the use.

I have used a feather, flowers and pearls. I added some lace and a doily and then finished it with metal corner and butterfly which were coated with bronze distressed stickles.

A little short on sweet as it is the second attempt - if it goes on walkabout again I am not fetching it back!!!

Thanks for all your so many entries last at Everybody Art Challenge week and I do hope you would call back.
