Postcard Card

Today I created | An embossed Postcard using a Tim Holtz Texture Fade by Sizzix and Core'dinations paper.

I have had this unused paper in my stash for a while so it seemed like a good time to pull it out and use it. The Texture Fade hasn't been released to the market yet but I made this paper to play with.

After embossing, I sanded the paper but it wasn't enough. I inked the edges and still wasn't happy. I finally used some Crackle paint and reinked parts to make it look interesting enough.

The tape is from cutetape.com. The butterfly is a paper punch. The charm is from my Tim Holtz stash.

Distressed Rosettes

Today I created | Distressed Rosettes using pins that Mario Rossi sent me and the Paper Rosette die. Thanks Mario!

After I created the dark blue rosettes yesterday I picked up a pin and noticed how perfectly it would fit in the middle of the rosette. Tim Holtz pins + Tim Holtz die + distressed techniques = today's creations.

Three rosettes were cut from printed paper. Three from Core'dinations paper that was sanded. And three were from Bazzill paper that was distressed with ink.
