Hello Again!
Today I'm going to share some super fun inspiration for the
Viva Las VegaStamps Monthly Challenge
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf1m_2SQdtUoXGYWrXhwQcXhPCALU6B5-_PcENZKrKZH54Nari1wOsqB_X13BwywYvHBYtRhHKV0lQqCthBd5SsAsg5obdDfBuB22xshYB6lZGm0siQejDkdtLmAj-pDnv660qpV0sAIBw/s400/January.jpg)
Top secret
Fringe Scientist
Circulatory system
Coffee ring stain
Double coffee ring
Other products used:
Archival ink- jet black
Distress ink-gathered twigs, ground espresso
Versafine ink- vintage sepia
Tim Holtz-index clips and mini paper clips
Tim Holtz- remnant runs
Mica Tiles
A2 sized file card
Starting with my file card base, I stamped my main image "circulatory system" in versafine ink.
I used some ink smushing to distress my card with distress ink. I also edged the card using a blending tool.
On a separate piece of cardstock I stamped the top secret, and fringe scientist. I used distress ink to grunge them up.

To add extra depth, I stamped my evidence stamp lightly as well as my 2 coffee ring stamps (See stamp list above).

Lastly, I added used various remnant runs, clips, and my sheet of mica to finish the card off.
Thank you for visiting!
Hope you are all warm and safe.
