Happy Thursday! I made a card for the new challenge blog Simon Says Stamp and Show. This week's challenge is called "Anything Tim Holtz inspired". How could I possibly leave this one out?? I wanted to get really inky and made this:
I used the beautiful flower image from Tim's Urban Tapestry set on a background that was inked up with Tea Dye distress ink and distressed with Walnut Stain distress ink. The script on the background is once again the good (old) "Old Letter Writing" from Hero Arts. I used a brush to sprinkle some Perfect Pearls droplets onto it. The dragonfly is a digi image from the Hero Arts kit "Winged Friends". It is colored with Copics. Onto the wings I applied some Rock Candy Distress stickles. Here is a close-up to see the glitter (and the Perfect Pearls):
I made another card, but I don't like how it turned out. The only thing I loved was my textpaper rose so here is a glimpse of that:
I will remove it to use on another project! Thanks Mr. Holtz for inspiring me!Have a great day everybody and thanks for visiting!
Hugs,
Vanessa
