Hello again! Nothing for months, then 2 posts in one day! #fairweatherblogger
I had to share this super simple project that I made for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween facebook LIVE. If you missed the LIVE you can see it on Tim’s blog along with the designers samples.
The moment I saw the monster reunion stamps (CMS381), I immediately thought of that famous scene from the movie ‘The Usual Suspects’… Clearly this lot were anything but ‘usual’ though! I die cut a stencil using the stencil alphabet from the gift card bag thinlits die to stencil “The Unusual Suspects!” I created this all using the sidekick, this tiny machine really has been a game changer for me, I use my dies so much more. #everyoneneedsasidekick
The scientific ruler from the weird science stamp set (CMS379) made the perfect border to begin my backdrop. I stamped it with picket fence distress ink onto black cardstock, embossed with white powder and fussy cut.
Using the media tool set and glass media mat, I drew lines across my distress mixed media heavystock background with a permanent black marker pen. Did you know that there are 2 little screws on the media tools ruler so you can adjust your ruler to line up perfectly with the grid on the glass media mat? Smart right?!
I am pretty sure this guy is the guilty party…
The monster reunion stamps were stamped with distress archival ink and watercolored with distress markers.
Thanks for stopping by and please let me know if you have any questions.
