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

Wow, what texture. You are right about getting the full effect when you double click. This is an amazing card, and as usual, I appreciate how you put so many disparate bits together and make them work. Love this piece of art!

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!

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.

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 🙂
