Using up some SCRAPS

This scrap was the little squares that I had leftover from another project so now they are little packages on a Birthday card ...

this is all scraps ... leftover from other projects but I really like the way it turned out ... wish I had that gear folder to make some more ....

ok this one is also all scraps ... guess you can recognize the Tim Holtz paper it was a VERY easy card ... 

More Tim Techniques

Actually these are the same technique but using different colors and then dyeing the ribbon using the same colors as the cards ....

1st I started off with Tim's manila cardstock and spritzed it with a fine mist then dabbed color stains to my carft sheet and then placed the cardstock in them and misted the cardstock again to help the colors blend ...  2nd I dried them with the heat gun, then back to the table to splatter big drops of water on the cardstock and blot off color with a paper towel .... when I was happy with the effect I dried it again and stamped images ... 3rd was to do stains on the craft sheet again and take white hem tape and mash it into the stains, then dry it some and scrunch it up and finish drying it .... 

Playing with Tim

ok not in real life but with some of his techniques .... ;-) ...

This one is using a stencil, distressed inks, spritzer with water  ... rub your ink pad on the stencil, I used 4 colors one in each corner of the stencil ... then spritz with water and lay watercolor paper on the stencil to transfer the watercolor effect of the ink ... then I used gray ink pad and stamped faint background then used black ink pad to stamp butterflies on the watercolor paper and again on scrap watercolor paper ... I cut out butterflies from scrap and using a dry water brush took and colored the butterflies from the same ink pads I had used on the stencil ... 

This one I did the same ink in 4 corners and spritzed but it was with a stamp then stamped on watercolor paper ... then I stamped Wishes in gray ink and stamped the Wizard in black and stamp him again on scrap cut him out and using dry water brush colored him ... after all of that I used the silver "Wink of Stella" pen to accent the sparkles and crystal ball of the Wizard .... think I will use this one for my granddaughters birthday
