12 Days of Christmas Day 9: Button Star


Welcome to day 9 of Smeared & Smudged 12 Days of Christmas sponsored by Smeared Ink. Check out the blog roll of participating artists in the right sidebar. We'll be posting every other day until the "Big" day. Today is a Smeared Ink Day so I used a Smeared Ink stamp from Urban Decay.

If you look at the star quickly you would think I stamped a button image- but actually it is a screw. I sprayed the background with a homemade mist made with a Nick Bantock reinker (I think discontinued by Ranger). The image is stamped with the same color ink for a tone on tone effect. Simple but a little different style card than I usually post.

Randy won't be posting today. He is taking the day off (with my blessing) to sort through some surprising news he received yesterday.

Heather,
Yep your stamp did get me at first, I thought it was a button, but now I can see it's a screw, pretty cool, trick of the eye there!
Hope it was good news for Randy!
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Peace,
KristyLee
