Enjoy the Journey

Blue Ribbon Winner #4

This one was a second attempt to use an idea that popped into my head in church one Sunday morning.  The first attempt had mixed results, but I'm happy with how things turned out the second time around . . .

After stamping the background with black ink, I used three different colors on my favorite splotchy-image stamp.  Voila: instant color with an artsy vibe!  Two kinds of stripes, some tags, and some black jute to finish it all off.  Looks like fun to me!
