Today I'm showing you a card using lots of different Tim holtz stamps and elements, with some very inky techniques. First, the card blank, which I embossed entirely on my Score Pal, to give it a check pattern. I also cut the front narrower that the back, letting the layers extend over the edge.
I played with some resist paper, using a stencil and some red DI stain to make the dots. Rubbed a dark blue stain over one corner, and a honey colour stain over the rest. While most of the stamping is one with black archival ink, the sewing mannikin is stamped with white ink.
If you look closely, you will see a strip of tissue tape and a couple of buttons. Some ribbon, and a couple of Tim's metal embellishments to finish it off. The Sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps...one of the Magical Mini Letter Seals.
This was definitely something different for me to do. I'm sure it could use lots of improvements, but not bad for a first go.
Have a great day people, and don't eat too much chocolate! Wine would be good though!
Now for some challenges:
