Dapper chap

Hello friends

Hope you are all good!

A quickie blog post to share this make with you...

I've been really enjoying experimenting with backgrounds using a mixture of Distress crayons, inks and paints

I'm really liking the new flip top lids for distress paints, they give you more control over the amount of paint to use...... a little bit really does go  such a long way!

I'm also loving the new Distress Splatter brush, it gives some really cool splatters to backgrounds.....plus its great fun to use (my phone has a whole new look!)

 

I really wanted to use the "Dapper"Tim Holtz/Stampers anonymous stamp set

so I paired it up with one of my favourite stamps..... Wendy Vecchi/ Stampers Anonymous phrenology head stamp as they compliment each other perfectly!

Lots of Idea-ology Rub-ons, distress crayon colouring and lots of stitching

The hat, shirt and tie were coloured using distress markers a

the quote is from the Random quotes stamp set  

The tag is mounted onto a black cabinet card from Idea-ology and is stuck down using distress matt medium  

Thanks  so much for popping by....

Hello friends

Hope you are good and that you've had a great week!

Easters hols are nearly over...

Its back to pay the bills job next week for me so this weekend I crammed in some precious

 inky time....

Here's what I did......

 

I used distress paints with a brayer to create the background, lots of layers!

I then used my splatter brush  to add random splats all over. 

I then stamped the image using Rangers Archival ink and the Tim Holtz/ Stampers anonymous Evolution stamp set ( I just LOVE this set!)

The layers of paint from the brayer gives the image a really cool slightly textured look

I also stamped in red archival ink, using the Mixed media #2 set

Next I added Rangers texture paste through Tim's Herringbone stencil and left it to dry

While it was drying I stamped the quote using stamp set "Perspective"

Once the texture paste was dry I used distress crayons over the top, I really like the look they give on top of the texture paste.

I then painted up the Idea-ology cogs with distress paints and glued them in place using distress matte medium.

This was one of those makes that I could of kept adding to..... but in the end I had to tell myself to stop and walk away!

As always feel free to leave a comment, really appreciate each and every one!

have yourselves a great week

bye for now
