Painting the town red. And other colours too.

The theme over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week is "Paint".  I almost went with the wonderful new Dina Wakley paints, but in the end I opted for Distress Paints.  Why not get all painty yourself and enter the Challenge - you could be the winner of a $50 voucher to shop at Simon Says Stamp.

I wanted my paints to really blur together well so I gave my card a good spritzing with water before dabbing on Barn Door, Mustard Seed and Mowed Lawn paints - a really summery palette and brighter than usual for me, not a hint of brown in sight!  I also used Rusty Hinge distress paint on my speckle stamp at the left side of the card.

I love this photo of these vintage men, I can't help but wonder what the occasion was!  It's taken from a sheet from the French Industrial stack.  Don't ask me why I crossed out their eyes - it just seemed to be the right thing to do at the time!  As a final touch I added the sentiment across the top from the World Traveler stamp set.



Supplies I used included:
