Hello my crafty friends! I’m really a fan of all Tim Holtz products. I love his distress ink, oxides and sprays. I think his thinlits are amazing. Today I wanted to share with you how I create this background for my card.
“Dive deep for the treasure that you seek”
I started by picking two of Tim Holtz distress oxide colors salty ocean, peacock feathers and blended both colors on two watercolor paper. Plus splattered water on top of my card stock and tap dry with a paper towel. Then took my TH Thinlits called Bubbles #665211, placed it on one of my papers and run it threw my vagabond 2 machine.
Took my cut out and placed it on top of my other watercolor card stock and took a few of the bigger circles and place on it too. Once I like the way my background looked. I started to add Gina K designs glitz glitter gel to my background covering all it. I set it aside to dry. Took my Stamplistic rubber stamp called Mermaiden /Layering dies, stamped it on heavy card stock and die cut it out. I highlighted the mermaid with glue and run it threw my minc machine with Gina K. Foil paper.
I color the mermaid tail with zig pens turquoise green and cornflower blue. Then I used rangers sticklers called glitter glue on the tail. Which gave it a dimension and glitter look. Print my little saying on my p-touch embellish. And this is my finished handmade card. I love the way it came out. I hope you guys try this technique too. Have a wonderful day.
