Wednesday stamper: Tim Holtz
When I first considered this wednesday stamper theme I wondered how Tim had an influence on what I make, and I immediatly thought of distress inks, so of course I started with a distress ink background, using the houndstooth background from the artistic stamper, but then I realised how much more of an influence tim had had, as I distressed the edges of my black card with my scissor blade and added some random ephemera.
The flourish and family stamps are also from the artistic stamper. This is my last official Artistic stamper piece as my term on the DT comes to an end this week, but I'll still be using the stamps plenty, especially the gorgeous backgrounds and the cute mabel lucie atwell images!!
Really lovely card Joanne! Distress Inks are a fav of mine as well. Love how you added the button, nice element to your precious family card!

It's amazing how much he influences our work without us knowing it. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat TH-inspired card. I found your blog accidentally, whilst searching the net for TH stamps!! Saw that you live in Leeds (so do I), and just had to leave a comment. Love your work.
