Huck Finn Travels to Bloggers Challenge and SSSS!!
I know, long time no blog. Trying to keep the arm less active, but my new stamp sets arrived yesterday from Artistic Outpost and that was that! I did get two of the plates precut, so no strain there! When I saw the new releases, I had to have them all! At Bloggers Challenge, Lisa, has us doing a sketch challenge and Simon Says Stamp and Show has us Distressing! Today, Huck Finn was calling out to play and I thought he would work so well with the new papers from Tim Holtz line! So what do you think? Do the papers work well with the stamped image and sentiment? I also used some words from the set along the background paper. Oh, I colored the image with chalks and then did a light matte spray to set. All edges are distress, because we like that look!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for the visit!
