Words are all I have by Donna Gray

Hi
everyone,
Donna
here today with a card for you featuring one of the new Tim Holtz flower
stamps……my new favourites!
What To Do:
Take
a sheet of PaperArtsy Smoothy Paper, cut to size. Lay the Seth Apter stencil on
the paper and then spritz lightly with a couple of Distress Stains (Ground
Espresso and Hickory Smoke), remove stencil and dab any excess with a kitchen
towel.
Next,
taking a couple of Distress Ink pads (Old paper and Vintage Photo), apply the
inks in a circular pattern over the rest of the background to give an aged
effect. Flick some water, wait and then blot off with another kitchen towel.
Use
one of the lovely new Tim flower stamps and stamp in black Archival straight
onto the background.
Next
take a Dina Wakley stamp and some Carabelle stamps and stamp on another piece
of Smoothy paper. Use Watering Can Archival for the girl and wings and a
Memento Dew Drop ink in Angel Pink for the crown.
The
girl was coloured in using Distress markers and a water brush, careful here as
they are very strong so I tend to apply a little bit to my craft mat and then
pick up with the water brush to dilute it first. Fussy cut around the stamped
images and adhere to the front of the card.
Mount
on black card and then white cardstock. You’ll be finding that some more of the
new flower stamps seem to make an appearance in the next few weeks no doubt!
