Goodly Morning Stampers and a very happy Sunday to you all... many thanks for the wonderful creative entries last week and welcome also to so many lovely new participants. This week is another easy theme, again, another fave song of mine and one which I hope you will have going around your head all day (mwahahahahahahhaaa) So the theme this week is.... to use STASH THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. To join in with the challenge, all you need to do is make a little something - it can be anything you fancy, include the theme and some stamping. Leave a comment for me here along with a link to the place you are showing your entry and then I can hop on over to see you. The challenge will remain open until 21:00 Saturday 11th June 2011.
I altered this little box when I was at Ranger U... after the class with Claudine Hellmuth, we were given this box, a pile of stamps and paints and left to play for half an hour. How cool! I naturally, because what else would I use, grabbed the Traditional Tan paint and gave the box a good old coat of it. Once it had dried, I used some of Claudines fab foam stamps and used Modern Red, Sky Blue and Landscape Green and stamped all over the box.
Once these had dried I used black Archival ink and overstamped using the co-ordinating clear stamps, off setting the images slightly because I had seen Claudine do this and I think it looks fab... it reminds me of 1950's style kitsch which I lurve. In the box are ten tags all from the class with Claudine - the first one on the ring is the Gesso Etching technique... which I featured on yesterday's post if you missed it :O)) **BTW, thank you for all your lovely comments... Julie left some FAB ideas for taking this technique to the next stage... I shall be trying those... so thank you Julie :O))**
That's all from me for today... I am planning a big fat Sunday roast, beef in beer with roasties and Yorkshire Puddings... and of course, lashings of grrravy... oooh and the British Touring Cars on the telly... perfect Sunday!!! So, what you got planned for today? Whatever you are doing... have fun and get inky! Thanks for looking... TTFN

Hi Hels,
My entry was sitting on the bench, almost finished when I read your challenge. I added a little of this and that and a tad of stamping, which you cannot see.
It made me happy to be recycling on World Environment Day and contemplating all that is good in my world.
Thanks for the challenge.
You can see it here,

I've used ink, stamps and butterfly stash to make me happy here.

Well - thinking hard about what makes me happy? Well, getting Inky of course. But, everytime I look at these papillon stamps - I have to smile. So - that is my entry for this week. I love your colors, they are some of my faves too. And, I aspire to pack as much as you do on your tags - but it is a learning experience. Thank your for teaching :-)
