So I was at the
Waltzingmousehouse forum the other day and was reading this fun little thread about distress inks by Tim Holtz. I remembered that I had one distress pad that I had bought ages ago. (Its Brown Corduroy). So I decided to depart from my usual style and make a fun little distressed card. The first thing I did was ink up the Offbeat background grid in Dark Chocolate ink. I stamped it on Lemon Tart cardstock. Next I cut a scallop out of some old PTI patterned paper. Then I took my Vintage Circles stamps and stamped the focal point in dark chocolate. I cut it out with my nesties and then added the sentiment (from Lil Buddies). I added some yellow glitter and dark chocolate twill and of course went to town with the distress ink. Its not my usual style but I think it came out kinda cool. You should stop by the
waltzingmouse house forum and see what ideas you pick up on.

Hi there! Happy Sunday! I have this great flower made with two of the stamps from Vintage Circles. I stamped the petal stamp repeatedly on white and then colored and cut out each petal. I stamped the circle and punched it out. Then I colored it as well. I stamped the background (Berry sorbet cs from PTI) with the plaid stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds. I cut a piece of white for the middle and stamped it with the sentiment from Spring Baskets. I added two pieces of Hawaiian Shores Rickrack (PTI) And then adhered the flower on top. I am really happy with that flower! Thanks for stopping in.
