A little birdy

Hi everyone
boy ...has this been a busy few weeks.  With the election, prepping classes and getting ready for Camp Croppin, I'm just about nearly spent.
Anywhoo, just thought I'd post my version of Tim's Apil tag (seeing how its almost May).  I really like this embossing folder and adding a little vintage photo and black soot ink for distressing it really pops.  And, of course,  gave the birdy a wing.  I love wings.. wish I had some!!
I think I'm getting delirious............
nite nite everyone!!

happy

Hi all,
Hope you all had a Hoppy Easter.  I love this Tim Holtz bunny... he's always in a hurry!!! I really like
using the brushless water color technique.   Apply the inkpad directly onto a silicone splat mat, mist with water until the ink starts to bead.  Lay a cardstock tag onto the ink making sure not to move the tag round on the mat. Moving the tag around will blend the colors and turn it a muddy brown..  Lift tag and use a heat gun to dry it. You can intensify the colors by either repeating the same process or use an ink dauber and add more color from the inkpad.  For this tag I used Broken china and Scattered straw distress inks. Once the tag is dry you can stamp, spray and distress to your hearts content.  Practise this technique using different amounts of water to get different looks.  The more water you use the more it will dilute the ink giving a watercolor effect.... have fun.

Route 66



As many of you know my hubby is into old cars... ok.. cars in general. So we've actually driven a short (very short) bit of route 66 and hope to someday do it again but a much longer stretch of it. 

So many of the projects I've created are geared (no pun intended) to women so it was time for a manly man card.  The car, the 66 sign, the tire tracks are all from one set of Tims stamps.  The gears are  an on the edge Tim Holtz/Sizzix die.  Using glossy accents to "Shine" up the windows and "chrome" on the car really added dimension to the whole card.  A little Tim Holtz distress embossing powder gave the tire tracks a little realism.

Well, enough already,   its my bed time ladies... hope you all have a good sleep everyone!!!

nitey nite.
