Stop and Go Blog Hop!


***If you are here for the new Clearly Whimsy Stamps release post, please scroll down!***

Welcome to the Stop and Go Blog Hop featuring inspiration using the Stop and Go stamp set designed by Miriam Prantner for Neat & Tangled stamps!  You should have arrived from Alexandra's blog to start the hop.

I wanted to do something a bit diffferent for "coloring" my stoplight.  I used some cheap watercolors to paint the colors onto some Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock.  This paper is the bomb!  I've used the smooth surface but there is also a textured side too!

Stop and Go1

After my cardstock dried, I stamped my stoplight image and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  And just because......I splattered red across my image and I couldn't resist adding some Glossy Accents to my little heart die cut with the Mini Hearts Die from Simon Says Stamp.

Stop and Go2


Now it's time to check out the fabulous ladies that join me in this blog hop today:
