This weeks theme on the
Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge is "your favourite stamp". Tim Holtz's "David" stamp has always been one of my favourites - it's a great size (ie big!) and there are so many things you can do to change it. I think I was channelling Magnum P.I. when I made this distinctly 70s inspired card! :) Further down in this post I've added some pics of other times I've used the David stamp.
I stamped him 3 times, once on kraft, once on brown and once on white and then cut parts from the brown and white and stuck them onto the kraft image. The background was made from slim wedges taken from Tim's Destinations card stack and some lilac card that I stamped with a letters stamp. The moustache was cut freehand from brown card and then stamped twice with a notepaper stamp. Add some promarker and Walnut Stain shading and bob's yer uncle! :)

There's a fantastic feel to this piece, part graphic novel and part retro extravaganza. I love the way you've manipulated the stamp by using cutouts to reconstruct the original image. Really great depth and layering too. Another beautiful piece! That stamp seems to inspire you.
Ha! David turned Magnum PI totally cracked me up- love it! Thanks for the smile :)
Hi Dan lovin your David creation on Simon's latest challenge. I really like this stamp too and used it a few weeks ago. Whilst in your blog I was inspired by your other pieces and I am now your newest follower. TFS......Annie :)
I think I would have been surprised if you hadn't used 'David'. You always come up with fabulous ideas/creations with him.

You are so clever - i am sure i wouldnt have thought of so many way to change him .
Now, how did I know that you would use the David stamp? haha Your piece looks fantastic and yes...he totally looks like Magnum PI! The added mustache gave him away! :) Love this piece and all the others ones you added. It really does show the versatility of this stamp. Great examples! <3 Candy

You always make me feel like I NEED this stamp, I can feel a spending spree coming on, yet again. Love how you have used him, adding different layers. Love the added moustache. Tracy x
This is amazing! I love how you have so many ideas on how to modify that stamp! Highly inspiring!
Your David take the cake...uber cool! Magnum and the clown are my favs!!! These will be classic cult favorites!!!!
I thought Dave would make an appearance - laughed immediately when I say this retro gent...can't decide between Tom Selleck or Burt Reynolds! A great graphic piece and a collection of fine gents too.
