OK, it is still New Year's Eve here, but not around the world! My wish is for all of you to have the best of everything in "2013." I will soon be starting my 3rd year of blogging and am just amazed at all the wonderful friends I have made and knowledge I have acquired and not to mention inspiration! A big thank you to all my followers old and new, you make this adventure so awesome! So here we go with my last post of "2012."
The current challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenges is to "Surprise Us" and this is a pretty much anything goes, but must have stamping! All stamps are
Tim's. No digis are allowed and there is a prize from Cottage Crafts and also a Top Three award, so stop on over and see what my amazing DT Sisters will surprise you with! Now this is a surprise and is heading to
Mr. Holtz, via Linda's CC2C "
Finale" a birthday card for Tim! Now is that not a scary thing to make a birthday card for someone who is the #1 inspiration to you? We are suppose to use a favorite technique and for this I did the "Spritz and Flick Distress." Happy Birthday to Mr. Holtz and many, many more! And speaking of parties, Simon Says Stamp and Show has "
The totally mad (no rules) tea party" and I suppose this is kind of an un-birthday or at least I am breaking the rules!
The clock and "TH" were cut from card stock covered with foil. I applied alcohol inks in layers with UTEE, until I was satisfied. I found that the Copper Mixative gives a nice rusty kind of look. I even did this to the copper color brads. The metal pieces were also alcohol inked and clear embossed. For the background I used Tim's Kraft Resist paper, stamped some swirls and clear embossed and then that was ironed away after I did my distress inking. Cut out some "Typeset" letters and all was good to go!
Have a safe and wonderful New Year! Thank you for stopping by and I will be by to visit you next year! Hugs!
Alcohol Inks: Ginger, Latte, Mushroom, Copper and Gold Mixative
Distress Inks: Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint
