Hello friends. I just can’t stop making with the Tim Holtz Distinguished stamp set. Every time I think I’m done, I want to make just one more. It’s craft crack!
This time I added some of the other new stamps sets to the Distinguished set to create a little background drama. Because who doesn’t love a bit of background drama?! 😉
I covered distress watercolor cardstock with hickory smoke, frayed burlap and brushed corduroy distress spray stain wash. Stamped the Fragments (CMS368) stamp set with brushed corduroy distress ink and lightly misted with water before stamping to create some wicking. I stamped half of the electric bulb stamp from the Inventor 7 (CMS374) stamp set with ground espresso distress archival ink.
The gears are from the assemblage range, I covered with grit paste and distress crayons.
I painted portions of the inventor stamp with distress crayons and a water brush and added design tape from the salvaged set to cardstock and classic kraft stock for the mounted layers.
I created the topper with a label stamp from the Label Frames (CMS264) stamp set, one of my favourite “utility” sets. I stamped newsprint from the Newsprint and Type (CMS266) set over the top with black soot distress archival ink. Again using distress crayon and a water brush to colour the hat and collar. I added filmstrip and a bird from the idea-ology milagros adornment set and some string which I thread through the finger.
Finally I added a small talk sticker which I liked. The Distinguished (CMS371) set were of course used in the making of this card. I want to get a tatoo on the inside of my left wrist and my good friend Helen suggested CMS371. You never know… LOL
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments here and on social media, I really appreciate it.

Laughed out loud with this one. Great card. Love all the masculine cards. I mail to several gentlemen every months and I don’t like to send them girlie cards. Now I have ideas for a while, once my stamps arrive. thanks as always for sharing.
