The challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp and Show is to use distress inks. Well, yeah....I use them every day. And, as luck would have it, the Compendium of Curiosities challenge is to use Tim's double distress technique. Oh lucky me....another twofer.
I went whimsical this week....not my usual thing, but I don't argue with inspiration. I just go where it takes me. It took me to the corner of Silly Street and Cutesy Corner today, but hey, it's good to get out once in a while.
Here we go:
C'mon...you know it made you smile.
The double distress technique can be seen in the background, on the leaves in the corner, and on the turkey's head. I just HAD to do this once I got the idea of using parts of rosettes as turkey feathers.
The frame and the scalloped base are all from Wendy Vecchi's art parts line, and I'm loving the way they work so well with Tim's stuff too. Speaking of which, the word gobble is from his new seasonal salvage stickers.
too cute Eileen and I love it!
