This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Recycle Style. This week I used an empty paper towel roll as a "tool" to stamp on my gelli plate.
I love playing around with any new tool for mark making. I have stamped with a paper tube before, but when you stamp and print using your gelli plate, you get an entirely different look. I stamped with picket fence distress paint and printed onto my tag. Once the paint was dry, I layered over it with Distress inks and the Tim Holtz Plus layering stencil and Wildflower stamps. The sentiment is from the new Tim Holtz Ponderings set.
Be sure to stop back and play along with us in a new challenge each Monday!

I love your tag, Cherion! The bright colors and the way you used an old paper towel roll is genius! I've yet to use my gelli plate but this inspires me to get it out and give it a try. Cathie <3

What a fantastic tag! I need to clone it immediately and stick one in every room in my house. I think that just seeing this every day would make me smile! And I don't know what excites me more: the tag itself, or the fact that you rocked it with a paper towel roll!
