Life Is Art
This month's DT stamp set is the fabulous ART SAYINGS A5 plate by Sam Poole from Creative Expressions, a fabulous set with so many useful sentiments.
I decided to create a huge industrial steampunk tag using images from Wendy Vecchi's Studio 490 Steampunk Art stamp set.
My background is decorated with metal foil tape using Tim's Riveted Patchwork technique from the Compendium of Curiosities Volume ll, giving a wonderful industrial feel to my tag. Inspire and Create is from the wonderful Art Sayings stamp set perfect for this piece along with the other arty sentiments I have used from the set. I have also added a light bulb for added dimension and interest.
My images have been stamped with black Archival Ink and coloured with vintage photo Distress Ink. Another couple of sentiments from the Art Sayings set along with a few gears cut using the mini gears die adding a game spinner for further interest.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment, much appreciated. Tracy x x
