Play day Tuesday

I had a bit of a play day yesterday…here are the results of my experiments:

This first set is made by melting wax crayons onto Anaglypta wallpaper using an iron.

Next, stamp an image on white tissue paper with Versamark ink and cut around the image. Sprinkle embossing powder on it, and place the piece of tissue onto the waxed paper, and heat with heat gun. The image will pop, and the tissue will sink into the wax becoming almost invisible. I loved seeing the transformation.

The next set is made with glossy card – my project uses card from LocalKing.

Ink up the card with about three colors of Distress Inks with a sponge. Dry with heat gun. Place a stencil over the card, mist with water. Remove stencil and blot with paper towel to remove water. You get a ghosty image, which I quite liked. I have not used Distress inks with glossy cardstock before. Quick and easy background for a card.

Delight in the Journey

Here is a little file booklet I made from a diecut kit. They were various sized mini files – it is mostly stamping and coloring with Distress Inks…then some ephemera – stickers, rub-ons, flowers. I punched two holes in the spine, and stitched with waxed linen thread, adding some baubles. Stamps from Tim Holtz and Time to Stamp.

Stencilled Tags

As I was playing around with stencils for the Street Team, I got the bug to make a couple of tags. Most of the inks I used are Distress Inks.
