I started by masking of the strip I wanted red with tape and then stained using the Tim Holtz distress ink pads,once done I then masked the inked parts up and applied the red ink.Ive embossed the bottom of the card with a Tim folder.Added a water splash effect and stamped the edge with a Tim Holtz stamp from the Halloween set in brown Stayzon ink and finished the stamping with the Zepple fish in Archival black.I then went round the edges with more distress ink in the darker browns to try and age it up a little.Added a bit of ribbon in the corner, a couple of brads and an old key tied on with a stained suede tie.
That's cool, great background and image.

ReplyDeleteI have just been looking at your WOYWW page and I saw this - you are totally right, it does have a real Monty Python feel about it. Indigo Blu do some great stamps along these lines too, if you really like that kind of thing. Regards, Anne

ReplyDeleteTerry. Thanks for the comment. My laptop is down with a virus so I'm using my small tablet and it removed your comment instead of following to your pages. So sorry. Grrrrrr. I hate technology.
