Backgrounds Using Shifter Stencils

Hello there!  I'm participating in another swap over on the Facebook group Small World Swaps.  This one is all about creating backgrounds for cards.

I recently got some of the new Tim Holtz shifter stencils.  And this seemed like a great time to try them out.  I used Distress inks and a blending tool to apply the inks through the stencils.  These were very easy, fast and fun to create.  I was only required to make one background but I couldn't stop at one....LOL!! :-)

Recipe:

Tim Holtz - shifter stencils- stripes, dots, stars

Tim Holtz Distress inks - Mermaid Lagoon & Tumbled glass, Spiced Marmalade & Cracked Pistachio, Worn Lipstick & Picked Raspberry

blending tool

Tim Holtz -Stitched rectangle die

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day!

Valentine Waterfall card

Hello there!  I'm participating in a swap with the Small World Swap group on facebook.  The challenge is to create a waterfall type card.  This is my first attempt at this style card.  I used some cut aparts from the stack to decorate the flaps -quick and easy.  I got to pull out some supplies I haven't used in a while, like brads and eyelets.  Too fun!  I love how this card turned out.

Recipe:

Recollections - Valentine's Day stack - all pp

white brads

white heart eyelet

Ranger Wonder tape 1/4"

The Paper Studio - pink gathered ribbon

Thanks for stopping by today :-)  Have a wonderful day!
