I am excited as this is the first time I have been involved in a Blog Hop.
Team ATB from the Artists on the Block and the Design Team from 100 Proof Press have teamed up for the whole of the month of November for a Blog Hop to showcase Artist Trading Blocks and also the wonderful 100 Proof Press stamps.
If you have not shopped at 100 Proof Press before please do have a look, they have an amazing selection of stamps in both mounted and unmounted. It was difficult making my choice but I decided to go for a 'time flies theme' and made this with my stamps:
I mixed the beautiful clock/watch stamps with my Artist Trading Block die and Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers clock die and showcased them with letterpress blocks.
A view from the other side. I used Distress Spray Stains to colour my backgrounds.
I found some little clock parts in my stash so I added these to the top of the small block.
The stamps I used from 100 Proof Press are:
At Art With Heart, Eileen Hull is running another fantastic challenge - Favourite Recipe - where you can use a favourite technique, style or product.

What an absolutely appropriate theme for your project as this year is winding down - ever so fast. The colors are wonderfully light and I loved all the different elements you've incorporated that echo the 'time' theme. Loads of texture & color & places to feast the eyes. As always your imagination soars and your fingers create. This is a super project - LOVE it! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Love your creation! And if you don't believe time flies, just ask a senior citizen!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Sandy
Golly Anne - again this is A-MAZ-ING!!! Superb crafting! Nicola x
