Hi everyone, I'm so glad you stopped by today! I'm sharing a fun card I made using Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous "Stamp Collector" and "Ticket Booth" stamp sets.
It was pretty tough picking a paper doll, there were so many great choices...I love them all!
For the background sheet, I stamped the second colorized distress watercolor cardstock using stamps from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Ticket Booth stamp set and ink from the Distress Archival Palette.
I added a few additional splatters of Distress Spray Stain to stamped images and trimmed out the large label.
The idea-ology ruler pieces are always great to work with, they're so easy to snap apart for smaller piece. I painted the ruler using watered down Gathered Twig and Black Soot Distress Ink. Then dried with my heat tool.
I layered and attached all pieces onto A2 (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded in half) kraft card base and black kraft cardstock using foam squares and adhesive.
To start with, I lightly color washed two 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 sheets of Distress Watercolor Cardstock using Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain and a little water. Then dried with a heat tool. I stamped the largest Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Label Frame stamp using Black Soot Archival Ink on one of the color washed Distress Watercolor cardstocks. I taped off the edges of the stamped label frame with post it tape to keep the edges clean. Then I started stamping the various postage stamps from the Stamp Collector stamp set inside the label frame using several different colors of Archival (Distress, Letter it and original) Inks-UPDATE the new range of Tim Holtz Distress Archival Mini Inks would work perfect for this as well. My stamping platform made the job much easier.
I also distressed some metal idea-ology pieces with Mushroom Alcohol Ink and filled in the recessed wording/numbers of the philosophy tag with a little Picket Fence Distress Crayon. Then tied off a bit of craft thread onto the index clip.
I hope you give it a try!
