Over on the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge blog today the new theme is "Your Favorite Tim Stamp". You'd think I might have found this a difficult choice, given that I own most of Tim Holtz's stamps, and love most of them too. In fact, the reverse is true, I have one clear favorite - his "David" stamp, which has been my favorite from the moment I saw it!The bowler hat and moustache were cut on the Cricut using SCAL. Any other extra items were hand drawn, as needed. The backgrounds were cut from the Lost and Found paper stack and the frames were 97p each at Ikea :)
David was stamped with a Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad, then coloured with Promarkers and Distress Inks.
Why not pop over to the challenge blog and see the amazing entries by the rest of the design team? Even better, join in the fun! :)

Dan these are awesome!! Loving the mustache!
ReplyDeletethat is a really cool project!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, Dan. I never would have thought to use the same stamp in 3 different ways and how is what you have done here! They are all great, but the clown is my fav! Hope you have recovered nicely from your finger injury!
