Sorry my desk has been AWOL from woyww for a couple of weeks, I was in london and then just really busy last week, still trying to make my way round OWOH and failing miserably!
I received some fab new rubber from the Artistic Stamper that i need to mount so i can play.
And for those of you with a keen eye you may have noticed the brown blob above my ink pads.. here's a closer look...
While on my only actual day out in london i picked up these fab old letterpress letters, How cool are they!
I'm up again at stupid o'clock so i may just try and head back to bed but i'll be round to see you later!
*****
Right onto the tag... This is my offering for this weeks Compendium Challenge
which is Inking and Stamping Masks, Page 59 i believe
I can't believe 32 weeks have passed by with this challenge, I hope Linda manages somehow to bring us many more!
Right TTFN

It's great that the letters of your name look almost the same in reverse, so even as they are they still look like your name!
Neat!

Love the way you left it lighter behind the main image and masked all around it. The colors are great too.
Love your old letterpress letters, they look fab on your desk! I have an old printers tray with a selection which I keep meaning to complete for DH but its in Scotland and I am not! LOL Love your dress form on the back of the door, so now you have given me an idea of what to do with mine, thank you! :) Annette
Lovely tag, those colours look wonderful together.

Thank you for sharing.

Oh, this is incredibly COOL, Nicky! I think you've used the most perfect possible stamp for this technique-- it really does look like the image is floating off the page, and what a great effect for the image. Love those colors, too.
You know, I do have something up my sleeve for us once the CCC is over. Stay tuned... ;-)
Oh! I love your cool name plate, too!
ooh yummy my kind of desk - and love your tag x
very cool, Minxy !!!
Wow absolutely stunning!
Have you tried just cutting out your stamps and mounting them as and when you need to, attaching them to rocker blocks with repositional glue spray? Then you can store them in a ring file on laminated card in a page protector. I stamp the image on the card before I laminate the sheet.
Your sign is so cool, how lucky to find those letters.
Great find the letterpress letters and I love your tag from one naughty Nicky to another!
Your letterpress letters are brilliant.
And yes, you're right my dog is a proper poser!!
It's beautiful Nicky! Love everything about your tag! Colors are awesome and blend in so beautifully to the background of the tag. Letterpress letters are awesome!
At least your desk can be seen!! Love your tag and the colors and images are fantastic together!
your tag is gorgeous..love the colours, thanks for sharing...Esther xx
a great find those letters are!

You did a great job on the masking challenge--wish I could say I popped over to London!!! I love your type letters - I have a bit of a collection myself!!!
Fabulous tag!! love the colours you used too.
What a wonderful creative space you have - and what wonderful creations you make there!
Ooo Minxy, how did this one escape me. Love the old letter press, how cool. Fab tag, love the main image and colour combo. x
Lovely tag! You're so lucky that Minxy looks great with backward letters, lol! ;-)
