Tim Holtz Use a Background stamp

Hi all and welcome to another week of the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge theme is to Use a Background Stamp!

We are featuring fabulous new products from the amazing Tim Holtz You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see what you make! As always just for entering you will be eligible for the the drawing of a $25 voucher to the Simon store!

If I had the choice to use pre-made pattern paper or to make my own it would be no contest! I love to create my own!! Using a background stamp makes it very easy and fun to create your own pattern paper to use on projects. I have even made my own wrapping paper for a gift.

The Tim Holtz products I have chosen to use for this challenge are his amazing classic Distress Inks.

I will list all the colors I used for this project below.

I made an A2 size card base from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of white cardstock and ink blended it using Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon, Festive Berries and Picked Raspberry starting from the bottom and working my way up. I used a round blending tool to blend.

I then flicked on water, white paint and gold mica paint onto the panel and set aside to dry. I then die cut out the thin frame and flowers out of more white cardstock. I also die cut out the Miss You die from matte gold cardstock.  When the panel was dry I used a scripty background stamp and some darker inks to stamp over the entire ink blended panel. I arranged the frame, flowers and sentiment to the panel with foam squares and liquid glue.

I hope you have enjoyed the project I have made and got some inspiration. I have listed and linked all the products I used for your convenience. Thank you so much for stopping by!!
