MY GOTHIC ART SUBMISSION FOR SOMERSET HAS BEEN PUBLISHED!!!!!

Somerset Studio recently sent out a call for Gothic art to be considered for publication in their upcoming September/October issue.  You can imagine how excited I was when I received a phone call from Stampington during dinner the other night asking me to verify my mailing address so they could send me a complimentary copy of the upcoming fall issue.  Two of my three Gothic inspired tags were chosen for publication on a full-page spread (page 116). However, I thought you might like to see the one they DIDN'T choose (which actually is a favorite of mine).  I wanted to keep my tags coordinated using a minimalist style so I stamped my chosen images on plain manila #8 tag stock with only black Stayz-on Ink; added a bit of white Gelly pen ink; weathered wood Distress Ink to add a hint of color to the faces; and minimal color on some of the accent stamping.  See what you think.....

The Plot Thickens

Most of the stamps are Michelle Ward's; main image is a LaBlanche stamp.  Be sure to check out the September/October issue to see my other two (Batty and Dark/Stormy Night) - I love their Halloween issue and can't wait to dig out all my Halloween stamps!
