Ink: Walnut Stain Distress Ink
Paper: kraft CS, corrugated cardboard ( off of a random box in my house!)
Accessories: Cherry Ice Smooch Spritz, tag, chipboard, Unity Stamps, Tim Holtz Mask, May Arts brown burlap string, Alcohol Ink applicator
This week we are distressing with fabulous Tim Holtz product at Paper Manic. Tim's product's are new to me, but I am having TONS of fun using them. I have always loved distressing my paper edges and sponging, but I am head over heels in love with the masks and the alcohol ink applicator! You can use this applicator for other inks (I don't own any alcohol inks-yet!) and I love the results!
My project is a tag and is pretty self explanatory. I used random Unity stamps that I have in my Unity arsenal, and a chipboard heart. I sprayed the heart with the cherry ice smooch spritz and then tied the burlap string around it several times. The flourish mask was the perfect size for this tag and I just sponged and swirled the Walnut stain ink onto the tag. I like to make tags, but I only really use them around Christmas. I quickly made my tag an embellishment on a card! I used kraft cardstock for my 5x5 base and then cut a of piece of corrugated cardboard of a box, and sprayed it with some smooch spritz. I added some metal stud embellies (from my stash) in three of the corners and turned my tag into a card!
I hope you give some Tim Holtz products a try!
