Hello Again Crafty Friends!
Tera here again, and today I'm going back to my vintage and grungy roots!
(Also Hippo Racing, Why not!?!)
Stamps Used:
Start with an A2 card base.
Cut black kraft stock to- 5 3/8in x 4 1/8 inches, a piece in 2in x 4 1/8 in, and 3 7/8in x 2 5/8in.
The scrapbook paper layers measure- 5 1/8in x 3 7/8in, and 4 1/8 x 1 3/4in
The stamped image layer is 2.5 in x 3.5 in.
I distressed Everything with frayed burlap and antique linen distress ink.
When my stamped image was colored (using Zig clean color markers), I stitched around the edges. (I meant to stitch the top and bottom of the skinny piece but glued it down too soon, so I hand drew faux stitching on it. )
Finally when everything was glued down, I stamped my quote using my stamping tool.
(Tim Holtz stamp press)
To finish everything off, I used various rub-ons from Tim Holtz and 7 gypsies for added details.
What do you think?
Do you want to try hippo racing?
Hippo Racing!!!....bwahahaha. Sorry I missed that race! Such a fun idea. I love the grunge and monochromatic colors. And the stitching is an extra special detail that is a perfect touch. Love that extra wad of threads in the corner.
ReplyDeleteOoh Fun!! I agree, and you do grunge nicely my friend :) I couldn't tell difference between the real & faux stitching - Cool.
