Blueprint Cards

A really quick post to share some watercolour cards I’ve been making using the limited edition stamptember blueprint stamps by Tim Holtz. I LOVE the blueprint stamps! Not least of all because the designs are really cool, but also because they are just the best thing in the world to colour in. Who doesn’t like a bit of colouring in?!

The blueprints are stamped onto distressed watercolor cardstock with black archival ink, and watercoloured with distress markers. The edges are distressed, stitched and spritzed over the top. Mounted onto speciality paper that has been inked with distress through stencils and distressed, stitched and spritzed. I used the alphanumeric dies to custom make some greetings from core-dinations kraft core.

I hope you have a nice weekend. I am looking forward to 4 days in the mountains with my DH, dinner with good friends, craft shopping and crafting. Hopefully we’ll even have some snow!

Thanks for taking time to visit my blog and I hope you like the cards.
