Hello Crafters! Today I’d like to share a card inspired by The Card Concept and Tim Holtz. I have always loved all the layers Tim Holtz uses; however, I’ve always been to “scared” it would look bad and wouldn’t give it a try. So, I gave it a go for this freestyle-collage card. I started with craft colored card stock. I used aged mahogany Distressed Oxide on a gel place and a globe stamp and lifted the first layer. I then stamped the globe stamp with ground expresso Distressed Ink. I used a stencil from my stash for the leaves using a blending brush and forest moss Distressed Oxide. The travel stamps were various stamps from Tim Holtz’s kits that were stamped in black Versafine Onxy Black ink. The sentiment was from a Craftin’ Dessert Diva’s set embossed with Vintage White. I figure, this would work well for a boy’s graduation card later this spring.
Thanks for stopping by, y’all!
