Great Scribbily-Wibbily!!


Merry Christmas Everyone!! Despite my total lack of Holiday spirit all season so far, (which, besides losing our dear kitty Angus, I can only attribute to my manager's cruel and unusual punishment of playing the ONLY radio station that started Christmas Music on November 1! {I mean, yes, I am a musician with a few Christmas concerts scheduled, but AGGHHH!}) I am finally ready and looking forward to heading to my Mother-in Laws for the Holiday. And with wrapping done, I even had time to play along with Linda's Compendium of Curiosities Challenge.
This week we are on page #34, the Scribble Stain Distress. OK, my first tag was a mess!! Waaayyyy too much scribbly, but the next few tags progressed nicely into a really cool technique! So, now to use the tags...and I kept going back to the first one... The scribble is Fired Brick, and I just kept thinking flames..so here it is!
Now, in hindsight, I probably would have used a resist or batik technique for Jim, so that he came through the flames, not lying on top, on vellum--oh well. The stamp set--I swear-- is from The Stampsmith which I got a few years ago at the Springfield Show. It was a cool plate with Morrison, Joplin, Hendrix and Lennon, with appropiate quotes, but I can't find it on their website now to confirm it...but it just has to be!
So Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope everyone, in addition to having a warm, safe holiday, also gets great crafty gifts under their tree!

  2. Awesome tag! Your technique is wonderful!

    I hope you're soon "In the Spirit" (that Christmas music for a month thing could get anyone down ... even those of us who LIKE Christmas music).

    May your holiday be filled with arty gifts and your new year be inspired!

  9. Kim, you've found the PERFECT look for Scribble Stain Distress! I think Jim Morrison would most definitely approve of this gorgeous, light-my-fire background! This is just flat-out ingenious!

    I'm so, so sorry about Angus, and I hope you ended up having a happy Christmas i spite of the sorrow (and the incessant annoying radio at work). May 2011 be your favorite year yet!
