Anything Goes...Even Flying Numbers!!!

Here is to Monday!...and a new challenge at Simon Says Stamp & Show!  It's super easy this week, with an "Anything Goes" theme, so now is the time to just create and not think about a thing. Let your creativity take you anywhere you want! 
 
I am currently teaching these two 9x11 inch wood panel canvases, because all the comments and emails about the Numbered Peacock were so overwhelmingly wonderful, so I thought why not make another animal and this time teach it. I just love making animals with these large numbers from Tim's Numeric Stamp Set from Stamper's Anonymous. I also used his Worn Text Set, as well as Paper Artsy's Mini Numbers 22, and there are lots and lots of Wendy stamps going on here as well. And, of course seeing the wood grain makes me happy X2!!! I had to do a metallic one and a bright colored one to give people different options. 

Anything goes this week, so let your mind go and create away, then enter it into our challenge. You just might be the lucky winner of a $50 voucher to Simon Says Stamp. You can also be named as one of the many  "Spotlight Artists" for this challenge. Good luck, and don't forget to check out the other Design Team member's blogs to see how their creativity went berserk this week...amazing work abounds!

A Wendy Tag...Finally!

I've not participated in so long at the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group, so it was high time! The challenge this month is "something blue with metal", and with 4th of July around the corner, and a remnant from my Tim June tag, I thought this was a perfect opportunity to make a quick and simple tag. This one took about 15 minutes! 
Last month, I was so fortunate enough to be able to take a class of Wendy's, at The Crafty Scrapper, where she taught us several tricks in making this precious Art Journal! One of the several things I took away from the class was using Specialty Stamping Paper more, so I've used it here on this tag.
I applied a few colors of Distress Paint to the craft sheet and misted with water, then ran the paper through it. After drying, I did it again.
I stamped the star image and the sentiment in Jet Black Archival. Doodling and Idea-ology embellishments finished this simple tag up.
