By the Numbers

Simon Says Stamp and Show this week is challenging us to be inspired by numbers.  My mind was churning with ideas of different number stamps and how to use them.  I ended up creating a tag with the numbers on the ruler being my number inspiration.

I was searching in my stamps and my eye landed on the rulers in the Stampers Anonymous Attic Treasures.  I thought that it would be fun to create my own background using the rulers and masking off sections to change direction of the rulers in different sections.

I stamped the background of my  tag  using brown ink.  I added a touch of color to each of the rulers with a waterbrush and watercolor pencils.  The clock with wings was stamped on ivory cardstock using brown ink.  I cut the clock out and colored again with the same colors.

The dress forms were stamped twice once on acetate and a second time on cardstock. I cut the top half of the dress form from the cardstock to put behind the acetate image.  I added some ribbon for the skirt and a butterfly to the front.

I added a Philosophy tag to the twine which seemed appropriate.The ink is Ranger Archival Coffee. Then I added a few snaps and the ribbon on the top with some twine.
