<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is a Birthday card i've made for a 90 year old. Not often i get that chance, so cool. This is also my design team project for <a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Ally's Angels</span> </a>and the new challenge starting today. The theme is <i>Anything Goes.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To create my background i've used the distress micro glaze resist technique and some new stencils, distress oxide sprays and also the new glitch stamps, all by Tim Holtz. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i><br /></i></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I cut a piece of watercolor paper in the size 14,5x18 cm and used distress micro glaze through the stencils digits and halftone. I then sprayed with cracked pistachio, evergreen bough and frayed burlap distress oxide sprays. I sprayed with water and heat dried. Wiped off with dry cloth. I then stamped using monarch orange archival ink and stamps from glitch 1, glitch 2 and mini glitch sets. I inked the edges slightly using ground espresso distress ink. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I used the 3D embossing folder brickwork and watercolor paper to create a brick wall and painted it using brushed corduroy, ripe persimmon, rusty hinge and tea dye distress oxide sprays and rusty hinge, iced spruce, vintage photo and black sooth distress crayons. I used the dies gadget gears, steampunk parts, industrial and mini clock key and die cut the cogs and gears in chipboard or watercolor paper. All the orange gears are covered first in black gesso then painted with ripe persimmon distress paint, wiped some paint off with dry cloth and sprayed with tea dye distress oxide spray and water and let dry. Love the way they look, especially the ones with the more milky and distressed look. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The big greenish circle in the middle is made earlier for another project but never used and I don't remember how I painted it but I do remember it was in a similar way as I have described above for the orange gears using black gesso and paint and oxide sprays but couldn't remember what combo of colours I used. I tried to create the same color for the cog in the middle but failed so it turned out a bit more blue then intended but decided to use it anyway. The yellow piece in the middle is an idea-ology vintage flair piece.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I stamped the hat and the collar from the distinguished stamp set using garden patina archival ink on watercolor paper. I covered the pieces in matte distress collage medium and then painted it using iced spruce, rusty hinge and gathered twigs distress crayons with my finger tips. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Haven't used much decorations this time but managed to squeeze in some favorite idea-ology pieces like the hardware heads, large hinge clip and letterpress (to write 90). They are painted using either patina green antiquing cream from DecoArt and gathered twigs distress crayon or ripe persimmon distress paint and black sooth distress crayons. For the letterpress i used both antiquing cream and distress paint and to finish i used gathered twigs distress crayon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I matted my background onto dark orange kraft stock and behind it a panel of blue-green kraft stock. The base is black core'dination cardstock with orange core, folded to also create the inside of my card. All with sanded edges.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Todays project is one that i've been thinking of for a while and been looking forward making. It's because of this very special stamp from the stamp set Cadaverous by Tim Holtz. I think this stamp is brilliantly designed and because he is so inspiring and so special he deserves a special project or at least an attempt. I colored him last year and have been looking at him now and then ever since...making plans for him...and I guess this project might not be everybodys cup of tea but i got this idea that i would "nail him" onto a brick wall...i know... ...crazy...but couldn't let go of this idea. So this was my starting point for this project (and just to be clear I'm a very kind and non violent person, lol). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To create the brick wall panels i used watercolor paper, and my new 3D embossing plate <i>brickwork</i>, distress oxide sprays, crayons and translucent distress grit-paste. The colors i've used are hickory smoke oxide spray, black sooth and vintage photo distress crayons for the first one and for the second panel hickory smoke oxide spray and walnut stain, iced spruce, aged mahogany, peacock feathers and black sooth distress crayons.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils and covered with matte collage medium. I wrapped metal wire around the idea-ology hitch fasteners and painted them and the idea-ology hardware heads using patina green antiquing cream from Deco Art and black sooth distress crayons. I stamped the 'handle with care' stamp from the set correspondence using jet black archival ink on watercolor paper, fussy cut, covered it in matte collage medium and used peacock and black sooth distress crayons to paint it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For my background i used texture paste through the stencil eye shart on watercolor paper. I covered the whole paper with pumic stone distress paint and let dry before covering it with matte collage medium. When dry i applied black sooth distress crayon over the whole surface using my finger tip. I sanded the edges and over the stenciled areas and added some more black sooth distress crayons on the stenciled letters. Stamped using number stamps from the set field notes and jet black archival ink. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I then made a similar panel but without the stencil to use behind my background. I made the small paper decorations with the numbers the same way and i think i might have set a personal record using idea-ology hardware heads in this project, lol. Love those little hardware heads. The bigger ones are idea-ology machinery heads (a new favorite) and they are all covered in matte collage medium and when dry painted with patina green antiquing creme and black sooth distress crayon. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The cracked leather panel is painted with black sooth distress ink, and lots of layers with black sooth, iced spruce and peacock feather distress crayons. It's slightly sanded before adding the last layers of peacock feather and black sooth distress crayons. Behind this i have three panels from the idea-ology classic craft-stock; one grey, one black and one blue-green all with slightly sanded edges. The base is black metallic kraft-stock also with sanded edges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The bones are also made with stamps from the Cadaverous stamp set stamped in jet black archival ink and colored with my Prismacolor pencils. The mini hinge clip holding them is painted with patina green antiquing creme and black sooth distress crayon.</span><br />

It's the optical lens and factory tag, definitely new favorites. I glued a hardware head onto the glass to match with the factory tag hole.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/"><span style="color: blue;">Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge</span></a> theme this week is <b>'E' is for? </b>so </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I thought I'd color up The Eye from the stamp set <i>Cadaverous</i> by Tim Holtz and make a card to play along.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The eye is stamped with jet black Archival Ink on watercolor paper and colored with my Prismacolor pencils. When I was done with my coloring I added some eye lashes using my black Prismacolor pencil and then covered the whole piece in matte distress collage medium and when dry used hickory smoke distress crayons to color my background using my finger as a tool.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I covered a black baseboard frame with clear gesso and when dry I used texture paste from Ranger Ink through the stencil Flourish by Tim Holtz and when completely dry I covered the whole frame with matte distress collage medium and used chipped sapphire and black sooth distress crayon to paint it. I used a damp cloth to rub off some paint. Wrapped metal wire around the side and attached the typed token metal decoration which is painted using matte distress collage medium and chipped sapphire and black sooth distress crayons. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The hinge at the top of the frame is treated the same way but also used some opaque crackle paste for texture. The stars are die cut in chipboard using the star die by Tim Holtz and then painted using chipped sapphire distress paint and oxide spray then covered in clear distress glaze and painted with black sooth distress crayons. Behind the frame I have a panel of black metallic kraft-stock and a black panel of corrugated packing from a candy box. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My background is made using distress mixed media heavystock sprayed with stormy sky oxide spray and heat dried. I stamped randomly around the edge with stamps from the set Faded Type using jet black Archival Ink and then covered the whole paper in a layer of matte distress collage medium. When dry I used chipped sapphire and black sooth distress crayons to paint using my fingers as tools. Behind my background I have a panel of black metallic kraft-stock with sanded edges. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Made a panel using the new (for me) distressed cracked leather cardstock. I sprayed with stormy sky and faded jeans oxide sprays and some water and heat dried. Then used my chipped sapphire and black sooth distress crayons to paint it. Behind this I have a panel of black metallic kraft-stock and the blue base is actually the back side of a core´dination cardstock (black with blue core). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have made some decorations using pieces of silver metallic corrugated cardstock and as they were quite shiny I covered them with matte distress collage medium and then painted them with black sooth distress crayon as I wanted a matte finish and not so silvery.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The star borders are made with a 3D embossing/die by Tim Holtz and die cut in black metallic kraft-stock. Added some idea-ology hardware heads, a machinery head and a metal star. To paint them I used matte distress collage medium and chipped sapphire distress paint and black sooth distress crayon. The quote chip at the top is treated the same way and also sanded.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hope you all and your loved ones are well in these crazy times. Stay safe everyone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A new challenge starts today at <a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.se/"><span style="color: blue;">Ally's Angels</span></a> and the theme is anything goes. For my design team project I have made a car themed tag using the mini etcetera tag by Tim Holtz.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I was asked by my friend John to do an "Alfa Romeo project" and I think a masculine car themed project is a lot of fun to make. The problem was the Alfa Romeo part - lol. I looked for an Alfa Romeo car stamp to color and found one but it didn't look att all like Johns car so thought I could always use a photo of his car. But then I finally decided to try to hand draw an Alfa Romeo by looking at photos John gave me. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I also purchased an Alfa Romeo emblem to decorate my project with so there would be no doubt what car it would suppose to look like, just to be safe - lol. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I kept my drawing very simple (as I have no drawing skills what so ever) and </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">decided not to color like I usually do (using my Prismacolor pencils) but </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">instead use distress collage medium matte and distress crayons with only my fingers as a tool. Just to distress the paper more than color the actual image. This gave it a different look. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Most of my products used are by Tim Holtz. I started by covering an etcetera tag in the size small with transparent gesso. When completely dry </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I then used opaque texture paste through the stencil treads and let dry. I</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> painted the tag on both sides using pumic stone distress paint and let dry completely. I then used black sooth distress crayons to paint parts of the tag and the stenciled areas. I mostly use my fingers when applying distress crayons. I stamped using one of the background stamps from the professor 2 stamp set and jet black archival ink.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I made the background panel using the 3D folder foundry (a favorite of mine) and silver metallic kraft stock. I sprayed some water on the paper and run it through my cuttlebug three times and I then cut the embossed paper in two pieces and also modified the edges a bit. I sanded it slightly and used mostly black sooth but also vintage photo distress crayons to give it color. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The frame is made using the trinket frame die and die cut in chipboard. Covered it with gesso and when dry painted it using ground espresso distress paint. I also used some black sooth distress crayons before sanding it. I wrapped some metal wire from stash around the frame and used black sooth and vintage photo distress crayons to give it some color. The metal decorations are painted with distress crayons as well. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Metal decorations are idea-ology by Tim Holtz, metal wire and a bulb from stash and an old spike from a car tire.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After watching Tim Holtz FB live demo's with great interest I decided to try the technique using distress micro glaze as resist. If you want to watch his demo's you can find them on his blog <a href="https://timholtz.com/demodistress-more/"><span style="color: blue;">HERE</span>.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So I took my distress micro glaze and used it with my distress tool through the stencils schoolhouse and industrial on distress mixed media heavystock. I then sprayed with weathered wood, tea dye and pumic stone distress oxide sprays, sprayed with water and used my heat tool to dry everything. The glaze resist the oxide spray, very cool! I added a touch of ripe persimmon distress oxide ink using the distress tool on a few areas and again sprayed with water and heat dried. I made som splotches using distress oxide spray ground espresso. I then used my distress tool and distress ink ground espresso around the edges but decided it looked too plain so added black sooth distress crayons around the edges as well. I almost always use my fingers to apply distress crayons. I decided to use my background to make a card and to use more orange, a colour that I hardly every use.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To make the stars I die cut the big star die in chipboard. Covered the stars completely in black gesso. I then painted them using ripe persimmon distress paint but wiped off some of the paint using a dry cloth before it dried and then sprayed them using tea dye distress oxide spray and quite a lot of water and put them aside to dry. Just love the way they turned out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the big circle from the steampunk die and covered it with black gesso. I then painted it with ground espresso distress paint and wiped off with cloth before spraying them with tea dye distress oxide spray, lots of water and let dry. I then used tea dye and rusty hinge distress crayons. I did the same to the bolts. The small circle is painted with ripe persimmon distress paint and finished with a touch of black sooth distress crayons.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I was asked to make a project with a dog on for my best friends hubby, Peter. So I have colored up one of the <i>crazy dogs</i> by Tim Holtz. I chose the one that was most alike Peter's dog Lilleman who is a Cane Corso Mastiff. He is colored using Prismacolor pencils as well as the bow tie and the hat from the stamp set <i>crazy things </i>also by Tim Holtz (TH). </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I chose to make a tag instead of a card this time and I have used the mini etcetera tag from Stampers Anonymous. I started by covering the tag completely in white gesso and let dry. Then I used opaque texture paste thru the stencil <i>decayed</i> in some areas and covered the rest of the front side of the tag with white crackle paint. When completely dry I painted the whole tag using distress paint weathered wood followed by distress ink walnut stain in some areas followed by distress paint broken china and black sooth and distress crayons walnut stain and black sooth. I also used a little bit of water. I then used some baby wipes to remove paint in some areas. When I was happy with my background I stamped with one of the background stamps from the new Professor 2 set by TH using archival ink jet black.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the planks using woodgrain paper from Ranger Ink and the die planks by TH and then used distress oxide sprays vintage photo and pumic stone and distress crayons broken china, walnut stain and black sooth to paint them. I then die cut more planks and glued them together as I wanted the planks thicker. On one of the planks I have used the TH die claw marks. The nuts are die cut in chipboard (I used the voltage die by TH) and painted using distress paint broken china. I then sanded the edges and used the distress tool and distress ink walnut stain to ink the edges. The idea-ology mini hardware pull is painted with distress paint broken china and distress crayons black sooth and walnut stain. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I wanted to use this photo from Tim Holtz idea-ology <i>found relatives </i>and also one from the <i>photo booth </i>package. I have had them for a while and thought it was time using them. The photo is followed by a panel of sanded black kraft and I have used the <i>tiny attacher</i> to staple them together, just because I love the look of staples. The tiny <i>masquerade</i> masks are die cut in <i>champaigne metallic kraft</i> and painted with <i>black sooth distress crayon</i>. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The lace is die cut using the </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">chrochet die </i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">and </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">black kraft </i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">and then sanded. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I also die cut arrows from the </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">artful arrow </i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">die in </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">silver metallic kraft </i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">and as I wanted the arrows a bit thicker I die cut them in chipboard as well and glued them together before sanding them and painting them with <i>black sooth, gathered twigs and antiqued bronze distress crayons</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To create the row of numbers on top of my card I die cut the number die from the Tim Holtz <i>mixed media 6 </i>die set in 300g watercolor paper to create a stencil. I then used grit paste through the stencil and let dry completely before using <i>black sooth, gathered twigs and antiqued bronze distress crayons</i> to paint them. I sprayed with some water and used my fingertip to blend out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I was inspired by a stamp designed by Tim Holtz to make this card. Ever since the release of the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous stamp set <i>weird science</i> last year I've been thinking about making a card using the thorax stamp from this set. At once when Tim showed this stamp set on FB live I had a plan for it; I wanted to colour the thorax image, cut it out and put a heart inside and create a card with the thorax and the heart as the focal point.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> Many month has passed since the release and now finally I had some time to play and try my idea. So here is my card, better late than never...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The thorax image is stamped on <i>Canson watercolor paper</i> 300gr using jet black archival ink and colored using my <i>Prismacolor pencils.</i> I used a scalpel to cut the image out and as I didn't have a small heart die or heart stamp to use I just used a scissor to cut a heart out by hand and then colored it using f<i>estive berries distress oxide spray and Black Sooth Distress ink.</i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For my background I used design paper from the Tim Holtz <i>abandoned</i> paper stash. I used another stamp from the <i>weird science</i> set and stamped randomly over the design paper. I then made a frame using a favorite of mine, the 3D embossing folder <i>foundry</i> and <i>black metallic kraft</i>. After running it trough my cuttlebug I sanded it and cut out the middle part with a scalpel creating the frame and then painted it using <i>gathered twigs and black sooth distress crayons</i>. I cut small pieces of the cut out embossed part and glued them onto my panel and used distress crayons to paint them as well. I almost always use my fingertips when working with the distress crayons and sometimes I use a little bit of water as well. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I then mixed <i>grit paste</i> and <i>pumic stone distress paint</i> and used my fingertip to apply this on a few places on</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> my embossed panel. I used some more</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> <i>gathered </i></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>twigs</i> <i>and black sooth distress crayons</i> to paint these areas and then used a small brush and <i>quinacridone gold acrylic paint</i> from DecoArt to paint some more areas to make it look rusty. I glued some <i>idea-ology hardware heads</i> to my embossed frame and painted them using distress crayons and also some <i>quinacridone gold acrylic paint</i>. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut random numbers and the letter z using the <i>alpha numeric upper die</i> and <i>black kraft</i> and glued them onto the panel on the upper left corner.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I mounted my embossed frame panel onto my background using 3D cushions to create some depth and then onto another panel of sanded black metallic kraft and behind another panel of design paper from the abandoned paper stash (same as my background) and behind that a panel of sanded black kraft. My base is created of black coredination cardstock with a pale orange core and sanded edges, folded to create the inside of my card.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The image is cut to separate the thorax from the gears. The gear part of the image is glued directly onto the background but for the thorax part I glued some small leftover chipboard pieces on the back side before gluing it onto the background to get some depth (I find this easier then using layers of 3D tape when the image has so tiny parts). I then glued the small hart in place inside.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I decorated my card with some more leftovers from the embossed panel together with some <i>hardware heads</i> on three sides of the embossed panel. The <i>quote chip</i> is sanded and painted with <i>gathered twigs, black sooth and tea dye distress crayons</i> and <i>quinacridone gold acrylic paint</i> and with <i>hardware heads</i> in the corners. The metal decoration <i>word band</i> on top of the embossed panel is cut to remove the loops and painted using gathered twigs, black sooth and tea dye <i>distress crayons.</i> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The <i>clock key</i>, another favorite of mine, is die cut in chipboard and in <i>black metallic kraft</i>. I glued the kraft onto the chipboard and sanded it and painted it using <i>gathered twigs and black sooth distress crayons</i> and used the same mix of <i>grit paste and pumic stone distress paint</i> as above and some <i>quinacridone gold acrylic paint</i> as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started by applying Distress Grit Paste through Tim Holtz stencils <i>Measured, Industrial</i> and <i>Decayed</i> on a watercolor cardstock panel measuring 14,5x21 cm and when dry I sprayed with Distress Oxide Sprays Vintage Photo, Pumice Stone and Walnut Stain and finished with some Black Soot Distress Crayon blending out the colour with my fingertip.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The window is die cut in chipboard and colored with Walnut Stain and Black Soot Oxide Inks and to get some texture I used Distress Grit Paste blended with Distress Paint Weathered Wood and finished with Black Sooth Distress Crayon.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The Cityscape Skyline are die cut in Silver Metallic Kraft, sanded, and to create the ledge I used Pinked Trims from the Etcetera Collection. I applied a layer of white Crackle Paint from DecoArt and when dry I used my fingertip and Vintage Photo Distress Crayon together with a little bit of water to color the cracks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The Faceted Heart is a favorite of mine and this time die cut in Silver Metallic Kraft and sanded. I glued Hardware Heads colored with Walnut Stain Distress Paint on three sides of the heart and to finish I just wrapped some metal wire from stash around it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the number 50 in chipboard using the Handmade alphabet die and used Broken China Distress Paint to color them and when dry I used a touch of Walnut Stain Distress Crayon around the edges.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I then made the other panels to put behind my background. One panel is made of Brown Coredination Cardstock with blue core, sanded, and the other panel is corrugated cardstock colored with Walnut Stain and Black Sooth Distress Oxide Ink and Black Sooth Distress Crayon. The base is made with watercolor cardstock, folded and colored with Broken China Distress Ink on the front and the inside- and backside with my fave combo of Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Pumic Stone Distress Oxide Sprays.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I glued all my die cuts and decorations in place.

The Paper Doll and Wings are also Tim Holtz Idea-ology.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is also my design team project for <a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: orange;">Ally's Angels</span> </a>and the new challenge that starts today.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My card is 15,5x21,5 cm (approx. 6x8,3 inch). The professor is made with the stamp set CMS373 from Tim Holtz. I started by coloring gloss paper using</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> walnut stain, vintage photo, pumic stone and rusty hinge oxide sprays and then used distress micro glaze on top and wiped off with dry cloth. When dry I stamped the professor with Archival ink jet black and fussy cut. The black hat is from the same stamp set as the professor and I stamped it onto black alcohol ink paper using archival ink monarch orange. It leaves just enough colour for me to see the lines to be able to fussy cut the hat. I then run it through my cuttlebug using the foundry 3D embossing folder and then used a 3D cushion to glue it in place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the steampunk parts in chipboard and used black gesso, sanded the edges and colored the edges with arhival ink monarch orange. I then die cut the cogs also in chipboard and colored them with archival ink rotting soil, vermillion and monarch orange. I used a little distress ink ground espresso on top before sanding them. I have also used acrylic paint from Deco Art. I just used a small brush and the color quinacradone gold to give the pieces an even more rusty color.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The clock behind the professor is a stamp from the set <i>distinguished </i></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">stamped onto kraft, fussy cut, inked with distress ink ground espresso and distress collage medium on top. The ribbon is colored with archival ink jet black and rotting soil then used some oxide spray rusty hinge on top. The buckle is from Tim Holtz and the bolt heads are die cut and treated the same way as the other bolt heads above. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">All metal decorations are Tim Holtz idea-ology and colored with distress crayons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To create the background I used design paper from Tim Holtz's paper pad <i>abandoned</i>. I cut two panels of this paper and sewed around the edges with my sewing machine and used distress ink black sooth through the stencil <i>schoolhouse </i>(that's the bigger letters just behind the professor, the smaller letters on the left hand side is the design paper). I had a left over piece from the ribbon so glued it on the upper part of the background panel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For my other layers I used black metallic craft and sanded the edges, grey core'dination cardstock and corrugated cardstock. The latter was actually mint green from the beginning, I had run out of the brown kraft ones so I have colored it with distress paint tarnished brass, walnut stain and distress ink black sooth. Behind I have a layer of corrugated packing colored with oxide spray rusty hinge and used distress black sooth for the edges. The base is made with watercolor paper wish I also folded to create the inside of the card. To get the black matte surface I used black gesso and then sanded the edges. The inside and back side is colored with distress oxide sprays, but have no photos to show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The happy birthday sentiment is embossed in the color tea dye on black alcohol ink paper and fussy cut. Love the black alcohol ink paper. The matte surface is fantastic.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Today I'm showing an industrial inspired Birthday card made for my dear sister in law. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started by making my background. I</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> sprayed distress oxide sprays walnut stain, ground espresso and pumic stone all over the front side of the Tim Holtz stencil <i>industrial</i> and then used it to make a print on white gloss paper. I think it looks cool with the letters and numbers backwards. I saw Tim Holtz do this on one of his FB live and wanted to try it. You can watch his demo <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOR6efp6zrM&t=2610s"><span style="color: blue;">here</span></a> </span>(this technique is shown 42 minutes into the demo). My intension was to then use distress micro glaze on this but liked the way it looked so just left it as it is and just stamped some numbers and words</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> using archival ink rotting soil and stamps from the sets </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">mail art</i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> and </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">correspondence </i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">on top.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivtq8f-fX4jXhoouNWJKQluZMpeIx8ycZTzH3MiMCc01ZknxYsTDEQ8D_SdG0bQ7qY-790Sf-B20_Y-mUInQtiz8oHjhm0s5CB-9Y3jP6UC47lghBAH3yRMqT3dGJBRmKDLK1UPsVL7Ho/s1600/savingPNG-83.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivtq8f-fX4jXhoouNWJKQluZMpeIx8ycZTzH3MiMCc01ZknxYsTDEQ8D_SdG0bQ7qY-790Sf-B20_Y-mUInQtiz8oHjhm0s5CB-9Y3jP6UC47lghBAH3yRMqT3dGJBRmKDLK1UPsVL7Ho/s640/savingPNG-83.PNG" width="480" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I cut some layers to put behind my background; one silver metallic kraft (sanded and slightly inked with distress ink ground espresso) and one plain white mixed media paper. The base layer is corrugated packing then I have a panel of white mixed media paper and a panel of design paper from the <i>abandoned paper stash</i> from Tim Holtz. The latter is sanded around the edges and cut in the bottom corner on the left hand side to fit with the stamping I did on the mixed media paper panel. The folded base is made with watercolor paper, 300g (140lb) and I have glued it on the back side of the corrugated packing panel. It does not show at all from the front side fo my card.</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The star trim is die cut in silver metallic kraft. I sanded it before die cutting and then inked with distress ink ground espresso. I die cut the trinket frame in chipboard and covered it with grit paste and let dry. Then used my distress ink tool with distress ink ground espresso all over it. The tickets are stamps, stamped in archival ink rotting soil and die cut with matching die from Tim Holtz. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The bottle caps are sanded before glued in place as well as the quote ship. The latter was also inked on the edges using distress ink ground espresso. The metal text decorations are colored with distress crayons picket fence and the metal clip at the top with distress crayons picket fence, gathered twigs and walnut stain as well as the pen nib. The baseboard doll is sanded and then inked around the edges using distress ink ground espresso and I used distress marker to color his face and tie.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have colored one of the handsome fellows from the Tim Holtz monster reunion stamp set using my prismacolor pencils and made this Halloween card. I haven't done one for years. And I would like to play along in the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/"><span style="color: orange;">Simon says stamp monday challenge</span></a> the theme is <i>spooky.</i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started by making the background using black metallic kraft from Tim Holtz (TH). I run it trough my cuttlebug using the 3D impresslit folder foundry (a favorite of mine). I then sanded the surface when still in the folder the same way Tim Holtz showed in his latest facebook live show and inked it with distress ink vintage photo to give it a warmer tone to go with my colored image. I then cut two panels to put behind my background, one using watercolor cardstock colored with oxide spray pumice stone and one orange core'dination cardstock with sanded edges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I then made the larger orange panel. It's a sanded orange metallic kraft sheet colored with vintage photo. I had to piece out this panel to fit behind my layers as the metallic sheet is 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) and my card is 6,3x11 inch (16x28 cm). I stamped spider web from the set </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">tangled webs</i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> with archival ink jet black on the upper two corners.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I then diecut the letters for 'trick or treat' using the <i>handmade alphabet</i>. They are diecut in both chipboard and black metallic kraft treated the same way as my background above using the same 3D folder and ink. I then glued the metallic kraft letters onto the chipboard letters. The word 'or' is made with the thinlits die <i>alphanumeric label.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The spiders are diecut in black alcohol ink paper. They are from the thinlits die set <i>frightful things </i>as well as the paper pumpkins, the witch hat and the spider web. I have used orange core'dination cardstock for my pumpkins and the spider web and for the back side of the pumpkins I used black sanded metallic kraft colored with distress ink vintage photo. I wanted some texture on the witch hat so used <i>texture paste graphite </i>from Finnabair. It dries almost black and is a little sparkly and when completely dry I used archival ink monarch orange to give it a touch of orange. Doesn't he look great in the witch hat!? What don't you do for a little candy....lol </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To create this card I started by making the background using gloss paper and distress oxide sprays. I sealed the surface with distress micro glaze and wiped off with dry cloth then used a stencil from Tim Holtz (TH), texture paste and when completely dry I used distress crayons and distress inks to finish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Behind my background I have one panel made with distress oxide spray black sooth on watercolor cardstock and another one made with oxide sprays on gloss paper. The yellow panel is core'dination cardstock and the black panel behind is alcohol ink cardstock that I just sanded lightly. Absolutely love the surface of this alcohol ink cardstock. The base is kraft and I have one panel of design paper from the TH new paper stash <i>abandoned </i>on top. I embossed parts of a text stamp from the TH set d<i>istinguished</i> on the left hand side of the design paper and also on the upper part of the black alcohol ink cardstock.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Thought I'd join the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=17792"><span style="color: blue;">Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge</span></a> this week so made this card using Tim Holtz faceted heart die. The theme is <i>stitch it.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started by making my colored panels (the background and two more) using distress oxide sprays and heavyweight gloss paper from Ranger Ink. When completely dry I sealed the surfaces using distress micro glaze and wiped off with dry cloth. I also cut a panel of silver metallic corrugated cardstock and treated the edges with some black gesso to take away some of the shiny silver look. Then I colored corrugated cardboard with distress oxide sprays to use as a layer behind my background. As my base I cut a piece of silver metallic kraft stock and sanded the edges.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I created the bricks on my background using one of the dies in Tim Holtz mixed media 3 set to create a paper brick stencil and used it with texture paste mixed with distress paint black sooth and when completely dry also with some distress ink black sooth on top.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I created the heart by first using distress oxide sprays on gloss paper and then distress glaze as described above. I then die cut the heart with the Tim Holtz faceted heart die. I used distress ink black sooth for the edges. I found an old piece of metal wire to wrap around the heart and glued two small metal stars colored with distress crayon chipped sapphire on top. I also used the Tim Holtz 3D star trim to create some more decorations for my background and glued metal stars on top of them.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I sewed around the edges on one of my gloss paper panel and glued it on top of the silver metallic corrugated cardstock. I glued all my layers together before decorating my card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hope you had a great start of this week. I created this Birthday card for my mom using dies and a 3D folder from Tim Holtz. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i><br /></i></span>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started by making a background using oxide sprays. I then torn a page from an old dictionary in small pieces and added them onto my background using distress collage medium. I stamped randomly using stamps from Tim Holtz (TH) and used crackle paint on the edges. I cut out pieces of design paper from a TH paper pad and glued onto my background.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">On top of my background I have a panel I created using watercolor paper and oxide sprays. I then used the 3D embossing folder <i>botanical </i>and also distress ink ground espresso and distress crayon brushed pewter. I made a panel with corrugated cardboard colored with the same distress ink and crayon as above. I have used the 3D embossing folder <i>star trim </i>to create the small star border that you could see a small part of close to the upper right corner of my card. I sanded the border and used distress crayons to finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My next panel is made using metallic kraft stock, the stacked postage die to cut a rectangle and then the 3D folder <i>botanical </i>again. I used distress paint and distress crayons in black soot on top. Then I made the pocket for the flowers using the die <i>gift card bag</i>. I made the pocket out of watercolor paper and colored it with oxide sprays and then sanded the edges and used the 3D folder <i>botanical </i>(again) and distress crayon brushed pewter on top.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The flowers and leaves are made with the TH dies wildflower stems 1 and garden greens and again I have used metallic kraft stock. I glued one idea-ology railhead in the center of each flower. The buckle, paper doll and wings are also from TH. I colored the dress and bow on the paper doll with my old Promarkers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To create the big bow I used an older TH die, <i>bow-tied, </i>and mixed media paper colored with distress oxide sprays spun suger, wilted violet and pumic stone and some distress ink ground espresso for the edges. The sweet little heart is from TH too and the lace is made with the die <i>crochet</i> cut out in mixed media paper and colored only with distress crayon brushed pewter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the letters for 'MOM' using chipboard and the TH deco die and colored them using the same oxide sprays as for the bow and a touch of distress ink ground espresso for the edges. The quote chip '<i>make a wish'</i> is also from TH.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The base is white cardstock, folded to create the inside of the card, and does not show at all from the front side. I then have a panel of purple corrugated cardstock and on top of that a panel with brown kraft cardstock and a panel of metallic kraft stock. I then glued my oxide spray background panels I described above on top of this. The card is 20,5x15 cm (approx. 8x6 inches). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A new challenge starts today at <a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Ally's Angels</span></a> and the theme is <i>anything goes</i>. I've made this black and yellow masculine card with lots of cogs. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">I started by making my background for the cogs. I cut a panel of watercolor paper and colored it with distress oxide squeezed lemonade. I then used the 3D embossing folder </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">mechanics</i><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;"> and distress crayon black sooth. I finished by cover the whole piece with crackle glaze and when completely dry some more black soot crayon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I made the two horizontal black panels by using watercolor paper and black gesso, sanding the whole surface and then put a mix of grit paste and black gesso on top for texture. Just love the matte look.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the pipes, cogs and viewer in chipboard using the pipeline, gadget gears, industrial and voltage dies from Tim Holtz. All the black pieces are made the same way as my black horizontal panels above and I made a few pieces yellow using white gesso, texture paste, oxide spray squeezed lemonade and then finished with some black sooth crayon on top.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I colored watercolor paper with distress oxide squeezed lemonade and stamped the hat and the collar from the stamp set <i>distinguished </i>in black using Archival ink and then fussy cut.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Metal embellishments are idea-ology except maybe the metal knob placed in the middle of the small cog. I think it's from Finnabair but I'm not sure. I totally love the new TH idea-ology <i>hardware heads</i>, I use them everywhere, lol. The <i>quote chip</i> limited edition is also TH and it's colored with some oxide spray squeezed lemonade.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The panels behind my 3D embossed background are two black ones, both made with watercolor paper and black gesso then sanded. Then of course I can't do without a layer made of corrugated cardboard. It's made yellow with white gesso and oxide spray squeezed lemonade. When it's wet from the gesso I first flatten and then curl the edges some before spraying it with oxide spray. The crackled panel is made with watercolor paper, gesso, white crackle paint, distress oxide squeezed lemonade and then some distress crayon black soot. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I'm on my summer vacation and at the moment visiting the beautiful country of Norway. The card I’m showing today is for a friend who loves to spend time in his garage. He loves old cars and he owns an absolutely gorgeous hotrod from 1933 so my plan was to make a garage themed card for his Birthday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It's also my design team project for <a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Ally's Angels</span></a> and the new challenge starting today. The theme is <i>anything goes</i>. There is a nice prize for the winner and the challenge runs for a month so you have plenty of time to enter.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started by making the frame. I used one of the baseboard frames from Tim Holtz (TH) and covered it with gesso and when dry with white crackle paint. I die cut the small tag in watercolor paper, the pediment and the viewer in chipboard and treated them the same way as the frame. I then did the same way with the etcetera trims here used as a shelf below the frame. When completely dry I used just a little distress crayon hickory smoke and some water to make the crackles more visible.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I embossed and fussy cut one of the stamps from the TH stamp set <i>road trip </i>to use as a background inside the frame<i>.</i> I glued the viewer together with a hardware head in the middle of the stamp and glued it to the back of the frame. I also glued the tag in place on the side and let two charms hang from it with help of a jump ring.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">All brown panels are made with watercolor paper (300g) and distress oxide sprays vintage photo, walnut stain and pumic stone. The edges are sanded. I made white panels to put behind each brown panel. I used two stencils from TH and one from Andy Skinner (oil). I embossed the tire tracks in white, it's also from the <i>road trip </i>stamp set. The oil drops are die cut in chipboard using the TH pipeline die and colored with distress inks ground espresso and black sooth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">When I had glued all my panels together I put the frame in place and the pediment on top. I then glued the etcetera trims just below the frame. Now I could start to decorate. I used two letters from idea-ology <i>letterpress</i> for Asbjorn's initials. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I've used a lot of TH idea-ology like the stars, hardware heads, buckle, mini hardware pull, faucet knob and a paper doll. These are all favorites of mine and frequently used in my projects. I dig deep in my stash and found some other items to go with my project: screw, bulb, nut and a coil spring. I used white gesso to make them look </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">distressed and go with my project. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The car is from the TH stamp set <i>elements of time </i>and embossed in the colour cappuccino from Sparkle N Sprinkle. The car is in three layers. Beside the embossed one I stamped two more and fussy cut and glued them all together to get a thicker piece. It's then glued with 3d cushions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My dad's Birthday is coming up soon so I've made this card for him. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It's also my design team project for this month challenge at </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Ally's Angels</span></a> </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">the theme is </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">anything goes. </i><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started by making a background using watercolor paper and distress oxide sprays vintage photo, walnut stain and squeezed lemonade. I used distress ink black soot to ink the edges before sanding them. I used the <i>mixed media die set 3</i> from Tim Holtz to make a brick stencil and then used it together with opaque texture paste from Ranger. I let the paste soak up some of the oxide spray colors from the background and then added distress oxide rusty hinge, ground espresso and black soot. When completely dry I sanded lightly on top.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I used Archival ink black and stamps from the </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>distinguished</i></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> and <i>#hastags</i> sets to stamp onto my background.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the pipes in chipboard using the <i>pipeline die</i> from Tim Holtz and used distress oxides vintage photo, walnut stain and squeezed lemonade. I then added some grit paste mixed with distress paint black soot on top. I inked the edges and the grit paste using distress ink black soot and then sanded the edges. The wheel and other black chipboard details are colored with black gesso then sanded.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the <i>voltage die</i> in watercolor paper and colored it the same way as I did my background.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I colored the tag the same way as my background and I die cut 'DAD' in chipboard using the <i>deco die</i> and covered the letters completely in black gesso then sanded them. I glued four idea-logy <i>hardware heads, </i>one on each corner. The text is from the <i>distinguished</i> stamp set. I finished by cutting a short piece of a <i>ball chain</i> and added it to the tag.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To create the small heart I used the <i>faceted heart die </i></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">from Tim Holtz. I used watercolor paper and colored with distress oxide sprays squeezed lemonade and a touch of vintage photo. The edges are inked in black soot. I manage to put a <i>jump ring</i> on the top of the heart so I could use a <i>swivel clasp</i> to hang the heart from the pipe. I attached a <i>typed token</i> and a <i>story stick</i> metal embellishments to the chain.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The base of my card is kraft and I then have a panel I created using watercolor paper and distress paints, stencils and crackle glaze and on top of that a panel with corrugated cardboard covered in clear gesso and then colored with distress ink black soot. My oxide spray background is glued on top of the corrugated cardboard.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is my design team project for this month challenge at <a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Ally's Angels</span></a> with the theme </span><i style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">anything goes. </i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It's a birthday card with lots of Tim Holtz (TH) products.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started by covering a baseboard frame from TH completely in black gesso and then sanded it. I made a background for the frame using watercolor paper and distress oxides. I then run it through my cuttlebug using Tim Holtz 3D impresslits foundry (a favorite) and then finished it by using distress crayons in rusty hinge, iced spruced and black sooth.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I then die cut the <i>big pocket watch frame</i> in chipboard and covered it completely in black gesso and sanded the edges. I die cut <i>steampunk parts</i> also in chipboard and covered the smaller parts in black gesso and the big frame in distress paint tarnished brass and sanded all the edges. To take away a bit of the bright gold of the tarnished brass I used distress ink and crayons in black sooth. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The clock is made with a stamp from the TH set curiosities (CMS104), watercolor paper and distress oxides and crayons. I used a game spinner and one of the hardware heads from TH for the center of the clock. I used 3d tape and glue to mount the frame, oxide background and the die cuts together.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The butterflies are made with the TH die and matching embossing folder <i>butterfly duo</i> then colored using oxides in vintage photo, cracked pistachio and fired brick. I then used distress paint tarnished brass, distress ink/crayons in black sooth and put a story stick on top.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">All metal decorations used are from TH and either colored with distress paint tarnished brass and crayons black sooth or with just black gesso (the stars and the game spinner). </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The happy birthday sentiment is from the TH set crazy talk (CMS236) embossed in frayed burlap on watercolor paper covered in black gesso. I so like the matte surface that I get using black gesso. I also like sanding it to get a more distressed look. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I die cut the <i>mini clock key</i> in chipboard and covered it in distress paint tarnished brass and then sanded the edges and used some distress ink and crayons in black soot on top. The text stamp on the side is from the TH stamp set correspondence (CMS225) and embossed in black. Stars covered with black gesso. Adornments foundry and hardware heads on the bottom of the frame.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I've used black cardstock for the base and the brown background paper is from TH paper stash <i>collage</i> and the text stamps 'it's a party' and 'it's your birthday' are both from the TH set crazy talk (CMS236) embossed in black. Ball chain and typed token on the top of the right hand side colored with distress paint tarnished brass and distress crayon black soot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My next layer is corrugated cardboard with distress paint tarnished brass and when completely dry I used quite a lot of distress ink/crayons in black soot on top.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I used the pocket watch frame die, distress oxides and then weathered wood crackle medium and crackle glaze. The decoration you can see at the corner on the right hand side of the dark brown panel is recycled from a studded tire from a car. The chipboard piece at the top I made matte black using black gesso then sanded the edges and I've used label letters to write <i>Gunnar</i> inside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The light yellow panel is made with watercolor paper, gesso, white crackle paint and fluid acrylic paints and then distress crayons. The numbers at the bottom are made with one of TH mixed media die sets and texture paste from Ranger mixed with fluid acrylic paints in raw umber and black. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The wooden letterpress numbers I used for <i>50 </i>are from TH and a favorite of mine. They are part of a complete alphabet and number set. I've had them for a long time but never used any of them because I like them so much and don't want to separate from them, lol. I think Gunnar doesn't know how lucky he is getting these on his card, lol.</span></div>

I die cut the rectangle (TH die 662694) in watercolor paper and used my distress oxides. I then decorated with film strip ribbon, stamps, tickets (CMS337 and ticket booth die) and metal decorations. Finished with the chip quote <i>enjoy the journey</i>. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Spring has finally arrived and it feels good. I had some time to create </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">so decided to use the etcetera tag and some other goodies from Tim Holtz.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The tag is made with watercolor paper and distress inks and oxides, I then stamped randomly using background stamps and then used 3D impresslits foundry and some more distress oxides. Then embossed the numbers using WOW embossing powder. Behind the tag I put some corrugated paper.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I'm back with a canvas as my DT work for this month challenge at <a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Ally's Angels</span></a>. The theme is <i>anything goes</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I had a lot of fun creating this piece which again is dental related, the same as a card I posted earlier. As I work at a dental practice and my colleagues at another dental practice we collaborate with are celebrating 15 years in the business I wanted to make them a canvas to honor this occasion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I asked my boss if I could </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">use some retired dental instruments from work. I also wanted a tooth on my canvas so my hubby made one out of balsa wood (just the crown) and we found a big screw in our basement which we used to make this look like a dental implant with a dental crown on top. Hope this doesn't scare you too much....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I've tried to make all those scary instruments look less scary by adding lots of flowers, butterflies and other decorations, so I hope you like it despite all the scary stuff. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I used one of my number stencils in the center of my canvas with Rangers opaque texture paste and then corrugated cardboard to make two panels, one on each side. I then applied some Finnabair graphite texture paste randomly on top. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">M</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">etal decorations from Finnabair, retired dental instruments from work, a</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">n old tooth brush </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">and some scrap metal and other decorations from stash.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Here the winter is back. We had a few days earlier with warmer temperatures and snow melting and I even heard the bird singing their spring song. Hope it will come back soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Time for a new challenge at <a href="https://alessandrasangels.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #38761d;">Ally's Angels</span></a> and the theme is always <i>anything goes. </i>As usual there is a nice prize for a lucky winner. I've made this card using products from Tim Holtz and DecoArt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Panels are made with watercolor paper, oxide inks or fluid acrylic paints and crackle paint/glaze. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A favorite to use is corrugated paper this time used as the base and also for part of the voltage die cut.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I used distress marker pine needle and tattered rose to colour the paper doll. Metal decorations from Tim Holtz with acrylic paint and distress crayons. </span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">To create the yellow-green panel I first used oxide inks on watercolor paper then the 3D folder foundry from Tim Holtz and more oxides. I then used Americana weathered wood crackle medium and then crackle glaze, both from DecoArt. Finished by applying one layer of black acrylic paint and rubbed off with cloth.</span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I've only used this die 'voltage' from Tim Holtz once before but it's already a favorite. I used crackle paint, yellow fluid acrylic paint and distress ink black soot. For the corrugated part I first used clear gesso, distress paint weathered wood and then metallic lustre black shimmer from Deco Art. The black paper behind the stars is coredination cardstock with white core.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is a card made for a dental laboratory that we collaborate with at work (I'm a dental hygienist). We were invited to a party to celebrate their new office space and I wanted to make a card to wish them good luck. I got this crazy idea to create a 'tooth manufacturing machine' on my card....LOL</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The focal point is made with an old retired impression tray from work and a recycled bulb. The pipes are made using a Tim Holtz die, chipboard and fluid acrylic paint from Deco Art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Metal decorations from Prima and Tim Holtz except for the recycled parts from a stud tire at each corner and the small ruler at the left hand side that is from Michaels I think.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">One panel is made with watercolor paper, distress oxides and crackle glaze and the other is made with watercolor paper, fluid acrylic paints, 3D embossing folder from Tim Holtz, crackle glaze and distress ink black soot and metallique wax from Finnabair/Prima. Between these panels there are one layer of corrugated paper covered with white gesso and distress paint.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is how the machine works (LOL): you start the machine with the black on/off switch at the right hand side then you put the impression tray with alginate and the magic powder from the small glass bottle in to the machine. When the machine is working the bulb will light up...and if you wait a few days (7...8...9) and then turn on the wheel (in this case the faucet knob from Tim Holtz) the teeth will come out from the pipe on the top and rest products from the production are dripping from the lower pipe... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I hope the ugly teeth coming out of the machine won't horrify anyone. I promise they are not real. They are made of resin and colored with fluid acrylic paint.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is how it looks when the card opens. Everything embossed in gold. The sentiment on the left hand side is in Swedish and says "now and forever", it's from Inkido. The sentiment on the right hand side is from Magnolia. The bridal couple are from Tiddly Inks and colored by me using Prismacolor pencils</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We were four families together on the wedding gift and I made separate pages for each family to congratulate the happy couple. So it's maybe more like an album than a card...</span></div>
