Hugs

Hello. Playing in the CAS Mix it up card challenge today. 

Flower stamp is from The Stamp Market and I used Rubbernecker color fuse inks on it.  Hugs die is an old one from Papertrey, Ink. I used white gouache paint, black soot marker and ink splatter tool from Tim Holtz to platter all over the card front. It came out very subtle, but I went with it. The black dots are Nuvo drops done with a small stylus. 

Thanks for stopping in.

Adventure

Hello, it's my turn over at The House That Stamps Built to do a project of the week. I decided to do something a bit different and went with an adventure theme for my card.

I started by stamping the map, compass and sentiment in archival jet black ink then dipping into vintage photo distress ink that I smooched onto my craft mat. Heat set it and repeated it several times to create layers. Once I like what I had, I cut them out using spellbinders deckled rectangle dies and a circle die. 

Using a finger dauber, I built up the outside edges to create the appearance of burnt edges using distress ink in vintage photo, ground espresso and black soot. 

Added the finished panels onto a Kraft piece of cardstock that I embossed with an embossing folder that reminded me of grid lines. 

I haven't done this technique in ages and thought it turned out pretty cool looking. Ended up being a wonderful masculine card for my stash. 

Thanks for stopping in!

Snowflake impression

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today. Simon Says Stamp is looking for snow and I paired it with the Tuesday Morning Sketch.

Snowflake stamp is from Inspired by Stamping called snowflake wonder. I took a piece of cardstock and heat embossed it three times using silver embossing powder. Then I inked up the snowflake with versamark, and while the silver panel was still warm, I impressed the snowflake into it.  It's really cool up close. I used the same stamp in dark blue ink on the tag.  

Background snow stamp is from Rubbernecker and it is heat embossed using a pearl embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping by and take care!
