Over on Hel's blog there is another
Sunday Stamper Challenge, and this week it is faces. I have to admit I have lots of faces I could use, including the
Gibson Girls, the
Children faces,and a number of ones I have lurking in a box that I have collected over the years, but it has been one of those days today, and nothing spoke to me, so I grabbed a set of
Mr Holtz's stamps, namely Mini Classics, an old plain postcard I found lurking near the stamps ( lots of stuff *lurks* in my room! lol), and some
distress inks, and my trusty Black
Archival ink. I covered the postcard in distress inks, and then spritzed what was left on the non stick sheet with water and smooshed the card in them as well. It gave it a very distressed look. I then inked up the
Flourishes ( this is my favourite stamp at the moment , that is until the next favourite stamp!) , and used Distress Mahogany with it.
Then I stamped a number of stamps from the Mini Classics in the black ink on top. Finally I Sprayed (probably a bit too much) some Cosmic Shimmer mist (ancient copper) on top. I haven't tried this before, and was quite surpised by the pure amount of mica in it! Fabulous!
Finally as this is going to a friend ( she may or may not guess!), I added a little faux porcelain rose brooch to it.
Thank you Hels for the challenge.

This is so pretty, I am sure that your friend will absolutely love it.
Those flowers look fab Jennie ... I love that mini classic stamp sheet ... maybe I should get mine out :0)
Completely gorgeous as always!
I think this should be a new type of bank note to cheer us all up. A special flower on each note would be great, but not much room in your purse though! Lovely jennie.
This is gorgeous! I got a gift of various Tim Holtz goodies & I'm going to use them to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous work Jennie
This is gorgeous, Jennie. I love your interpretation of the theme, different to Hels and both equally lovely. I think the porcelain roses could be very addictive!
