Rose Masterpiece Card

I'm really enjoying making with the Mixed Media Sets from Stampers Anonymous and Tim Holtz. I hadn't owned one before making for the curations this year so it's been fun to try out something new. These sets have a stencil that is half one stencil in the Tim Holtz line and half of another. Someone commented to me the other day and called it a Frankenstencil which made me laugh but it is a great description. Then the stamps are often resided versions of the signature red rubber stamps normally part of the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous line as Stampers has been making red rubber stamps over 100 years in Cleveland , Ohio as a multi generational family business. 

Today's card features one of my favorite Sets, Lady Rose THMM19. To finish this card, I added a few bits of Idea-ology and some twine. This card is very simple. I first stenciled the background using both parts of the stencil. The crosshatch side in Tattered Rose and the Burlap side is Frayed Burlap.

Then I stamped the beautiful rose and the sentiments in Distress Archival Ground Espresso. Archival ink isn't water reactive, so I dried it and then could color it in with Distress Inks in Victorian Velvet, Tattered Rose, and Bundled Sage.

I did stamp some of the speckles from the stamp set onto the background in Ground Espresso Archival as well as some of the gothic text in Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. The text is very light but you can see it in person.

I finished off by stamping a few of the cancellation stamps in Victorian Velvet in a few places on the back ground, and coloring two mats with Bundled Sage and Victorian Velvet over a Ground Espresso base.

 It all came together as a very quick and simple, but lovely encouragement card to send to a loved one.

Now let’s go shine brightly, and have a creative day! 😃

Springtime Makes #4

These are the few spring time makes from 2022. There were really only two that I made with Easter in mind. The rest I made with flowers and plants. I was really into flowers and plants last spring. 

As with the other spring makes posts, if you click the title of each make below it will take you directly to the tutorial for that make. Enjoy!

This Idea-ology make can be two things, both a decor piece and an Easter basket for an adult.
