bottle!
YIPPEE I DO TOO!

Here's a photo from the new book...

which shows the FULL bottle stamp ...

I made the label a seperate stamp...
so that the bottle can be used for other things...
I have IDEAS...

and you can use the label other places too...

It's stamped on a Hambly transparency...

and colored with Ranger's alcohol ink fillable pen...
so simple & FUN!



and here's my THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU...

You make me sooooooooooooo very happy!



"The visionary" is @ the top of my "love it" list...

Tomorrow...
the Maya Road peeks start...

not skimpy little peeks...

I'll post just as soon as Caroline does...

You just might spot some new studio 490 too...
who knows...
we'll see which products she decides to REVEAL...
TOMORROW!

EDIT!...she snuck one in yesterday & I just found it...HERE!

BROWN flowers! I'm in LOVE!

Scrapthat said...

I guess it was really early when I looked yesterday because I thought it was an actual bottle that you put the stamped label on! LOL! WTG Wendy!
I love the addition of pearls to this new piece! is the screen looking effect over the print because of the face image or is it a third stamp?? VERY COOL piece! Love it and I love the hounds tooth on the brown...frames it up lovely. TFS

Cariena said...

hello Wendy!! LOVE the bottle stamp and the fact that the labels are seperate! i do hope we get them here in South Africa - how about you pay us a visit???? Tim has been here and he LOVED it! What do you think.............oh PLEASE!!!!!

Stephanie said...

too cool. so great they are separate

Unknown said...

How beautiful is your visionary! It reminds me of my daughter's sketches when she was working on perfecting an eye or a mouth. I even scrapbooked some of her art. BTW Are those tim's flourishes at the top with pearls?
AND I love your little peeks - they are not skimpy! I would describe them as teasers, meant to heighten the suspense and keep your bloggers coming back for more-in that you have succeeded!

Linda said...

The bottle is AWESOME! Especially since the labels(?) are separate!!! So many possibilities! Thanks for all the peeks!

Tona said...

Omgosh! I love the face & the bottle. WTG Wendy!!!

Donna said...

That is great that the bottle and lable are seperate YEA, I like the brown flower also!

Rhonda said...

WOW, love the visionary, very, very cool. The bottle has tons of possibilities, thanks Wendy!

Denise G said...

I just wonder if you ever sleep? The bottle is so adorable and I so love the brown flowers.

Lori said...

Yep, love the bottle. The Visionary is really COOL. Can't wait to see more!

Courtney said...

Love it, Love it, Love it!!!

Elaine A said...

Wendy -

Yep - see lots of possibilities for that bottle stamp. Thank you for deciding to include it in your collection. Love the Visionary, just beautiful. More sneak peeks, I need them to satisfy my Vecchi addiction!

KAT said...

Love that face with the text background and love those new leaves - sneak peak time is soooo much fun!!!

Anita Van Hal said...

either I'd better start selling my art or get another job...I'm going to "need" one after CHA! OMG...how can I love your stamps and projects any more than I do? Thank you so much for sharing such fantastical (yes, that is a made up word!) art with us! Hugs!

Joyce said...

Love The Visionary - the face with the words - awesome! I'm on the fence about the fillable pens but I love what you did with the bottle. I wondered if that was vellum or a transparency. Really like it that you made the labels separate. Now we need lots of labels so keep the ideas coming. Thanks for the sneak peaks.

Stamped on a Hambly, who would have thought? Love it!

Kathy Eddy said...

Wow, love that bottle and what you did with it and that face piece! Fabulous in a word! Kathy

Nancy said...

I LOVE the bottle stamp, Wendy!! LOVE IT!!! I almost brought another brand of stamp's bottle stamp a couple of weeks ago - I am VERY glad I didn't 'cause yours is so much better! YEA!!!

Ok, back to work for me so I can earn some more O/T pay so I can buy more of your creations! :o)

Debby said...

The bottle is amazing. I love that one. The full peek was wonderful. I love the face looking out from the bookpage! I am going to beg for $$$ for my bday next month so I can buy up the goodies!

Unknown said...

What a gorgeous piece. I love the face stamp. So far the bottle is my favorite. Very clever!

Your BFF Terry

Marjie Kemper said...

Love love LOVE that tag with the text and the face peeking through from behind! The flower and greenery and bling all just keep adding to it!

Janene said...

You are always so inspiring. Just need to find some time to play. But love seeing your work and all that can be done.

mamakat said...

Thank YOu!!!! So many cool new things to love. Can't wait!

Unknown said...

Thanks you for sharing.
Love that bottle stamp!

Kaz said...

First visit for me here, I can't believe I've been missing out for so long. Is that bottle a new stamp? I can see lots of uses for that.
Looking forward to the Maya Road stuff x

Holly said...

What can I say, I love it all!

Debby L. said...

Great ideas in the project you just shared! Question: On the artful voyage cruise, I think you gave us a tip on how to refill our small squeeze bottles of Claudine Hellmuth's multi-medium. If you did, I've slept way too many times since then and would love to know what the trick is again. I got the lid off the bottle, but made an absolute mess trying to get additional multi-medium into the squeeze bottle! Is there an easy way? thanks.

Rockin Robin Caldwell said...

OMG....lovin' the bottle, and I couldn't agree with you more on "The visionary"!! It rocks..and I love the way the project was done. Wicked cool!! I seriously must have both of these!! Hugs chickie...Rockin Robin Caldwell

Renee said...

Dang!! I guess its time to start collecting your stamps too!
You just had to make that bottle....I love it!!!

Can't wait to see more peaks!

MA said...

Your stamps and talent make me smile. Love your work..I have all your stamps and look forward to getting more...Thank you for sharing your talent..

Maureen F. said...

Dorothy said...

Love that bottle stamp!!

DebbieK said...

Ohhhh Wendy! You colored that bottle so well. Just LOVE it! Can't wait to see what else you have created:)

Vicki in MD said...

lovin' all the sneak peeks - especially the visionary - it is wonderful! Just how do you find time to create it all? I know you don't do groceries, but there are other things I'm sure that call for your attention.

Nancy Lynn said...

Very nice artwork Wendy. I love the Inspiration Board that we did on the cruise a lot and think of you when I when I come into my studio......just awesome. Can't wait to see more of the new stuff for CHA.

Kristy Hansenwi said...

I love the bottle idea--valentine's day--Love Potion! Can't wait. kh

Dawn said...

Wendy, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that little bottle- it is so cute. I can see wine bottles for love notes, rum bottles for naughty pirates and poison bottles for dark and dreary swaps. It looks so fun! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs from the beach!

Dianal said...

Kathy said...

Love the bottle! Thank for the separate label. You are great about making stamps that work with each other to give us options. I also love the new background stamp. It the face a separate stamp?

Anonymous said...

The bottle stamp and label are right up my alley! along with the alcohol ink pen, WOW, double WOW!

Penci said...

OMG! I have been looking for a bottle stamp for so long now. I have found 2 but just didn't order them for some strange, unknown reason. Do you believe in fate? Love, LOVE, Love the face stamp! I am just not believing how you are actually reading my mind on what I want! Houndstooth, bottle, etc., etc.
My husband needs to get a second job!
Thanks for all the teasers...can't wait to get my hands on everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!
