Shabbychick Junk.

Paisley Thanks....

This poor, lonely, neglected Inkadinkadoo stamp has been in my stamp bin hanging around for more than a month and did not see ink until today! GEEZ!

Remember I was digging in the penny button bin at Bargain Bill's in Rice Lake, WI a while back? Well according to my stamp math, because I saved so much on buttons, I splurged on this image stamp. I thought it was going to be putzy to color, but it really wasn't...I started filling in the greenery with old olive ink, diluted with water from my aquapainter so that it was very very light. Then I went back over the tops of the leaves in spots with darker, full strength old olive, also with the aquapainter but not diluted.

The little paisley at the bottom is from the reverse side of this K & Company paper, which came from a huge pad of Classic K Bailey paper (1/2 off at Michaels). Since the image was so large, it didn't need a lot of other junk on the card to finish it off. I did have a stitching boo boo on this one... I somehow threaded the bobbin wrong and ended up with a reverse stitch. So the zigzag looks perfect underneath the paper. Oh well. It's country-shabby looking. That's my story & I'm sticking to it.
