For a Guy with Tim Holtz
Since I had just created a Father’s Day card, I decided to keep this one generic for any guy for any occasion. I was working with VERY limited supplies as I had just moved and my studio is not unpacked yet. Luckily I had a few Tim Holtz items that I had discovered in one of the first boxes I opened 😉
I started with a sheet of Tim Holtz Motif Cardstock. This cardstock has a design already embossed on it. I used a mini ink blending tool to ink the background with Chipped Sapphire and a little bit of Black Soot on the edges.
Then on Distress Watercolor Cardstock I stamped the vintage fan from the Vintage Things Blueprint Stamp Set. I watercolored it with the Tim Holtz Detailer Waterbrush and Distress Inks (Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire)
I then very carefully cut out the front of the fan, and the background the fan was on. I am not sure where my exacto or cutting mat are so I did this with my Fiskars Spring Action Scissors (my faves!). I used super thin pieces of 3M foam tape to mount the front of the fan onto the main fan.
I chose a fun sentiment from the Occasions Small Talk Stickers and finished it off with Clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles on the blue parts of the fan.
Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge. Remember, Fathers Day or For a Guy is the theme so have fun! Just by playing along and linking up your project to the SSS Wednesday Challenge post you can qualify to enter a $50 shopping voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store.
