Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge #116 - Denim

If you are anything like me you will really need to get your thinking cap on for Edna's latest challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.


Coo, not just denim for Edna, she's gone for the double denim look!

Yes, she's chosen DENIM as our theme. It really had me scratching my head but eventually I dug out this old jeans pocket stamp that was once upon a time the monthly Clarity Stamp Club stamp, and gradually everything came together.


I stamped and embossed it twice onto denim blue paper then cut out the pockets and used more of the paper for the background. To make it look more like the bottom of a pair of jeans, I added a narrow strip of paper edged with faux stitching using a gel pen to look like the back seam of the jeans.

The sentiment - an often heard cry from women everywhere and very familiar to fans of the old TV series "The Fast Show" was stamped using a set of letter stamps that my younger daughter - now 37 - had when she was a little girl.
