Hello Crafty Friends!
It's me, Tera here again to share with you a super simple masculine card.
(you know you always need those!)
Stamp Used:
Other Supplies:
Hickory Smoke distress stain spray
black soot and frayed burlap distress ink
Park Lane papers
Tim Holtz stitched rectangle dies
Memento ink- Tuxedo Black
Tim Holtz "snippets" pack
Voltage Die (by Tim Holtz)
I wanted to create a slightly grungy yet simple card that would be good for any occasion. I started by picking a background paper that was simple with a light colored pattern. (The papers I used came from the park lane packs called - Maps, text & ledgers, as well Neutrals)
I began by cutting my focal paper out with a Tim Holtz stitched rectangle die. I then stamped my Fabrique stamp in black Memento ink. To add a grungy effect I used black soot and frayed burlap distress ink lightly around the edges and a few flicks of Hickory Smoke distress stain spray.
Next, I cut the next to layers of mats for my card. I sanded the edges of the textured card-stock for some extra texture and grunge. I also used black soot distress ink on both of these additional mats to lightly distress them. Finally, I used the edge of my scissors to rough up the bottom mat layer.
(the bottom layer is bigger than the biggest die, so I was unable to die cut it with the stitching. It is 4in x 5.25in)
To finish, I matted my card on a black A2 card base, and added my finishing touches. The rusty bolts I created with my Tim Holtz voltage die, and the tiny ephemera is from the Tim Holtz "snippets" pack.
(Just a note for the bolts- I used distess oxide sprays to color them as well as distress crayons)
I hope you enjoy this fun and easy card!
Stay crafty!
