...to use a stamp I have never inked up before! The challenge this week at
Tag Tuesday is to use a piece from your home as your inspiration. I bought this stamp some time ago, intending to use it in a scrapbook of one of our vacations to Greece. Hmmmm... do you know how much scrapbooking I've been doing lately? Nada, zip, zilch, and nuthin'. Pitiful. But, I decided to use a painting we got on one of our trips to Santorini as my inspiration piece. There is absolutely nothing fancy about this tag..... I inked up the stamp (by
Auntie Amy's), colored the image with Copics, distress inked a little, punched a Greek key border, and added some Greek key paper clips (from Stampin' Up!). That's it. But at least I had an excuse to get out this lovely stamp and dream of returning to the land of the sapphire blue Aegean. Aaaah.... someday. :)
Hope you're having a great Saturday!
