WS: Tim Holtz

this week’s challenge at Wednesday Stamper/Mittwochstempler is anything  to do with Tim Holtz … his style … stamps or other products … of which there are many

forgot to photograph my favorite starburst stamp by Judikins too

I used several rubber stamps from the Tim Holtz Stamper’s Anonymous line

a double click of my postcard will show you the texture in my painted and stamped background

collaged scrap papers on watercolor postcard … paints … a Dover horse image … stamping with ink and white paint

  6. I had just posted about an upcoming workshop I’m teaching and noticed that the theme for Wednesday Stamper was Tim Holtz today! I didn’t realize I was playing today, but I guess I AM. LOL

  7. Patty – you did good ole Tim right! I agree with Elizabeth – everyone needs to click on your creation to get the full amazing quality of this work. I do love the use of the paint, the stamps, and of course the Dover image of the Horses! Well done…. *bravo* *bravo* *bravo* : )

  14. Ooo-la-la! When I enlarged and it filled my monster-size computer screen what a sight! Gorgeous texture and the interaction of the black and white against this shade of blue was great. I kept thinking how gorgeous it would be if you could somehow transfer this whole piece to a t-shirt you could wear! FUN!

  23. That’s a super stamp! I can see why it’s a favorite!

  24. beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! great stamping!

  25. I hate to be a critic, but is it RAINING in VA? Your card is wonderful, but I am a little confused by the caption. :) The card is kinda dark. I am sure you haev a rationael. (sp?) heehee

  26. This is such an amazing design. I absolutely love the darker side of it especially the way you used the horses. The stamped images fit so perfectly. I only ever used Tim Holtz stamps yesterday for the first time and I am impressed how superb they are.

  27. Such a fantastic take on this theme. Great piece of art.

  28. I love your style! I’m yet to see something you’ve done that I haven’t liked!

    Keep it up ;)

    Hugs, Ashlyn

  29. like all the colours and layers

  30. Grunge looks great!
    I noticed the horse pic is a little pixelated. Did you print by yourself? Most pictures downloaded from the web are 72dpi, and it’s best to change it to 150dpi to print.

    If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I’ll look up a tutorial :)

  31. Very creative–the postcard is appealing.

  32. Love Tim’s stuff, he is so creative. Nice work with the stamps.

  33. Love the design! Great piece!
    Hugs Hanne

  34. Oh wow Patty, that’s sooo creative!! love the texture and how you’ve used the stamps!! Brilliant artwork!!

    Hugs,
    Linda
