Can you believe I actually am playing along this week?!! I swear it's been for-FREAKIN-evah since I've had the chance to create something for this blog :) But there was no way I was gonna miss out on a week sponsored by Stampotique!
First off, I wanna show off my Stampotique collection. I have my Daniel Torrente blocks displayed so that I can see them from my desk:
JOY! I've also got a little cube stamp w/ four Torrente images, but you can't see it here. You may be asking yourself: "uh, Barb... I haven't seen you use all of these before... WTF?" Yes, it's true, dammit. The cube, fence, door & head background have yet to see ink :(
And here are my latest additions, courtesy of Stampotique (thanks SO much!)...
"Olivia" & "Glimmering Hope":
I tried to go all simple-dark-elegant-chic for Olivia...
Toner Grey & Red Copics on kraft cardstock, MME paper, my favorite trim by May Arts (red texture), a black rosette from JoAnn's, and a sentiment stamp from StampInsanity.
Now my favorite, Glimmering Hope...
I actually used Prismacolor pencils & mineral oil for this one!
I started with a little Picket Fence Distress Stain to lighten the area where I stamped. After drying it with the heat gun, I colored. More MME paper, some lover-ly black lace from Creepy Glowbugg (thanks, man!), and a few Michael's grey flowers round this one out.
LOVE HER! Kinda ethereal looking, eh? She looks waaaaaay better in person...
I am no photographer.
That's it for today! You still have until Sunday, 5pm central time, to play along for a gift certificate to Stampotique... you KNOW you want some of those Torrente images :) Be sure to check the challenge post HERE, and get your freak on!
So, what do you think?
