Wednesday Women Guest Designer Wanda Hentges

Welcome to Wednesday Women!

It gives me great pleasure to introduce a very talented
Guest Designer Wanda Hentges.
Wanda has a way to use color and her creative style really stands out.

She has been stamping since 1999. 

She says she

 loves that you can do sooooo much with stamps and supplies

 in whatever style you feel like that day

whether it is grungy, elegant, distressed, bright....

whatever, the list goes on. 

Stamping also lead me to jewelry, book binding, altered art, 

and one day hopefully I'll tackle an art journal.

I've been married to a wonderful man for 28 years

and we have 3 fabulous children,

a girl out on her own and 2 teenage boys at home.

Pic #8 – The paper towel was left over after a previous project.  I had used it to clean up excess color wash off my craft sheet.  It was so pretty that I decided to try it with some Clearly For Art after reading one of Wendy Vecchi’s blog posts.  I glued it to a piece of Clearly For Art using Glue & Seal, let it dry and die cut the flowers.   I’ve used some and others were still laying there waiting to be used… the colors were just right for this project so I used the small ones.
