Simon Says Stamp – Wednesday – Anything Goesĭazzling Diva Challenge #36. Simon Says Stamp – Monday – “J” is for (Journey) The finished background was adhered to a piece of SU! Island Indigo Cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″ using Foam Tape. I aged an Idea-ology Word Band with Rusty Hinge and Evergreen Bough Distress Paints and then tied it onto the card with TH Twine.Īn Idea-ology Mini Corner was aged in the same manner and then attached to the corner of the background piece.

I did a second generation stamp with a couple of TH’s other stamps ( Tim Holtz’s Classic’s #16 and Tim Holtz’s Mini Classic’s) in the corners of the card stock. I stamped one of the Art Stamps from Tim Holtz’s Classic’s #4 Stamp Set in Black Archival Ink directly over the background. No two are alike! Some of these have Fern Green in them too. You get an amazing variety of backgrounds. The Heat Tool will move the inks around a little too. Move the card stock around – you can even add a little more Alcohol to it to disperse the inks. Swish them a little with a spatula and swipe your Ranger Specialty Paper through. Put a drop or two of Permanent Reinkers – these were Wendy Vecchi’s Orange Blossom and Cornflower Blue and then Adirondack Mixative in Copper.

Put some Rubbing Alcohol onto a Craft Sheet. I absolutely love the background! I’ll show you how easy it was to create! I kept the rest of the card simple because I couldn’t bear the thought of covering any of it up. This card was created purely for the joy of Card Making. 🙂 Yesterday, on the other hand was the kind of day that makes you need an outlet! Sheesh! At 2:35 am – I finally finished working so today, I promised myself I would take an hour to play. Some days I am very grateful that Art is my outlet! Today is one of those days.
