I love this Tim Holtz set so much, I decided to do another card using the car instead of the truck this time. I used the same color combo as before (Baha Breeze, Chocolate Chip Parisian Breeze Specialty and white. I stamped the car and sentiment in Tim Holtz Distress Walnut ink. While I was playing, I tried swiping the car with the pad to see the result... see the car on the bottom? Same ink, but swiping rubbed off some of the ink leaving cool lines and a lighter shade of the walnut.
The car on the top was stamped in the normal press on method. These stamps have really great details and textures on them. I like both images but decided to use the darker one on my card. I used my little Janome Sew mini to meander the stitching around the edges...it was quite fun to deliberately make wavy stitches. I'm usually stressing out trying to get my stitching straight! I used my SU distressing tool to distress all the edges and then sponged them in walnut ink. I'm loving those big SU pewter eyelets too. Gives the the card a more masculine feel. I wish I had thought to take a picture of the inside as there is a really cool sentiment that I placed off to the side beside strips of the DP....they say the mind is the first thing to go......
It's nice to be back...I have another baby project coming. I can't wait though for a photo box...my lighting is terrible!
Blessings and Happy Stamping,
Charlene
