Hi there, this week I have a quick
and easy card to share perfect for the boys in your life as I fell in love with
the gorgeous new Tim Holtz Sideshow stamps. They’re beautifully collage in
style so it doesn’t need much else to make a great card.
Ingredients:
Archival Cobalt Ink
Recipe:
Cut a piece of stamping paper to fit
your chosen card blank or you could do as I did and make a whole sheet so that
you have some to use on other projects – good huh?
The first step is to sprinkle the
sandstone Brusho Crystals all over and mist with water. I then let the paint
run until the sheet was roughly covered. I then added a little blue and red,
misted again and let the colours run, blotting some with a paper towel.
I cut a piece of the coloured paper
for my card blank and stamped the running wheel image roughly in the centre
with the cobalt ink.
I next sprinkled more of the red,
blue and also yellow Brushos on the paper and misted them gently with water to
give the paper added interest.
Ink around the edges of the paper
with the Distress ink and stick on to the card blank. Finish off with a sticker
from the book – I distressed mine a little with pastel pencils.
We have a great new challenge for you

Can't wait to play with these stamps now I'm home (though it may have to wait at least until they're unpacked!). Fab background too.
