TIM HOLTZ inks sooo ROCK!

Good Monday Morning!

Here in NYC, it is 9:23am ....it is 70 degrees and gorgeous!!! I am sooo excited about the warm weather and look forward to enjoying each day w/my kids and hubby!!!

My LSS - Michael's has gotten a new section in their store where they carry alot of Tim Holtz products. I purchased all the Distressed ink that they had and tried some cool techniques.

On this card here, I used 3 different inks - SPICED MARMALADE, PEELED PAINT, & BROKEN CHINA. I then spritzed the rubber stamp w/water and stamped the image on watercolor paper. I dried it using a heating tool. Next, I distressed the edges and then used WALNUT STAIN to distress the entire front image. I think that it came out wonderfully!!! Please share your thoughts and if you want to ask anything, please do so.

Thanks for stopping by!

A CARD a DAY keeps me BLOGGING everyday!!! - THURSDAY

Happy Thursday.....

Here is my Card-a-Day for TODAY.....hey, that rhymes :-)

My material of choice for he card is WOOD!!! I used VersaFine Onyx Black ink and I colored the leaves in w/my Martha Stewart Dual-Tip markers. I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Peeled Paint & Broken China for the background on the wood. I used a torn piece of cardstock to use as my mask. Both images (the tree and word sentinment) are HeroArts Clear Stamps. Finished the card off with a velvet ribbon attached by a glue dot. Please leave comments and thanks for stopping by!

A CARD a DAY keeps me BLOGGING everyday!!! - WEDNESDAY

HAPPY HUMP DAY everyone!!!

I can not believe how fast this week is going by. You may not know, but my children are out for their Easter/Spring Break and it could not be Monday the 20th, any sooner.....LOL!!! They both (Jackson - he is 10 and Kennedy - she is 6) have 2 projects EACH that are due when they come back...and I can not figure out for the life of me WHY it's considered a "break" when the parents aren't really getting one. I mean with these 4 projects, I feel like I am back in elementary school again....LOL!!!

In any case, as promised, here is my Card-a-Day for Wednesday. I hope that you like it. My material of choice today that my stamped image is on is WOOD!!! I think it came out really nice - the ink did not bleed and the image was CLEAN & CRISP! I also stamped the image on orange cardstock and then cut the wings out at attached them to the stamped image. I love that little touch!

In any case, thanks for stopping by, leave comments, and ya'll come back tomorrow....
