Frequently Irreverent

Hello Friends. I’m back with more hats! I used many of the same products that I used for the indistinguishably dapper card and keeping within the same style but changing some elements.

I about wept with joy when I saw the March release stamps, but wasn’t entirely sure how I was going to use the Media Marks stamps. I’ve had some epic fails trying (too hard) to use them. But I thought I would give it another go and I think I may have just fallen for the scribble stamp.

The background is a super simple hickory smoke and frayed burlap distress spray stain wash. Add a couple of sprays to your non stick craft sheet and drag a piece of distress watercolor cardstock through and dry with a heat tool. Go back and pick up some of the ink droplets and dry again. I added the advert stamp from the distinguished (CMS371) stamp set and added a scribble from the Media Marks 1 (CMS362) set.

I stamped the top hat and coat from the Distinguished (CMS371) stamp set and blended in some frayed burlap distress ink with a mini blending tool. I also stamped and die cut a moth from the Entomology  (CM328) stamp set. I added twine across the card with some of the new idea-ology mini pins threaded through it.

I also added a small piece of twine to the top hat with some idea-ology mini pins pushed through. I LOVE this top hat, it’s definitely got the “mad hatter” about it.

I added a small talk snarky sticker and the bow tie from the Distinguished (CMS371) stamp set, which I’ve been waiting for the right moment to use and today was that moment. I stamped, fussy cut and layered over the coat & collar, it’s SO cute! Did I mention that I love this set?

I added mini pins to both sides of the twine running across the card and tucked it behind the layers, which are idea-ology classic kraft stock and cardstock covered with design tape from the salvaged set. I added some stitching with my new singer heavy duty sewing machine, but nothing too daring this time. 😉

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get some creative time this week.
