STAMPOTIQUE DESIGNERS' CHALLENGE 129: ANYTHING *STILL* GOES!

The 2014 Stampotique Designers' Challenge Team (on which I am proud to serve) has been given a soft start to the new year!  "Anything Goesgoes around one last time as we continue to be given a break to enjoy our families and the holidays!

I have chosen to make a tag this week, but making a tag isn't always an easy way out of a craft assignment.  A lot of thought still goes into your color palette and creating an interesting background!  You still need to coordinate an image with a sentiment, and there are even other elements to consider--like ribbon or twine and to embellish or not to embellish!

I chose one of Stampotique Originals' text stamps, "One second, One minute, One hour, One day," to remind me to use the time I have been given more wisely.  

Here's my contribution to the challenge this week:



Additionally, I have used the following Stampotique Originals' stamps:
Head (main image)
Design Cube (for background)

I hope you will join me in creating something for the Stampotique Designers' Challenge each week.  The use of Stampotique Originals' stamps is not required.  You can use any rubber or clear stamps (no digital stamps) that you have to participate and gain a chance to win one of two $30 gift certificates for your choice of Stampotique products.  Details for submissions are here.

A HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EACH OF YOU!

  3. Nice thought. Maybe that should be my New Year resolution. I should use every second, every minute, every hour of every day working to make myself a better person and thus the world a better place. Happy New Year.

  11. This is so fabulous.

    I love the background you have created, the color palette, and the stamps you used.

    I also love that it looks as though head is standing on a planet pondering the meaning of time. Great job coloring him too!

    The time words is one of the first Stampotique stamps that I got!
