Hello friends and happy friyay! I’m so looking forward to the weekend, I have a date with some new distress oxide sprays. But first I want to share a card that I made using the new Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps.
Mixing old and new stamp sets is my favourite thing to do. With so many stamps packed onto a sheet, sometimes you don’t get to use them all the first round. I definitely have favourites though and the inventor 2 (CMS41) is one of them. I LOVE that the inventor 2 traveler helmet perfectly fits the cadaverous (CMS378) stamp set and it wasn’t even an on purpose!! It was written in the stars…
To create my galactic background, I sprayed distress watercolor cardstock with vintage distress spray stain, spiced marmalade and broken china distress oxide spray.
Using a palette knife, I spread opaque crackle texture paste through the new hocus pocus (THS131) stencil. Once dry, I rubbed distress crayon into the cracks.
The traveler from the inventor 2 (CMS341) stamp set, stamped with black soot distress archival ink and watercoloured with distress inks.
Fussy cutting is something else I love to do, I find it so relaxing. I fussy cut the helmet with glasses and adhered over the body from the cadaverous (CMS378) stamp set.
I added idea-ology gears covered in distress grit-paste and distress crayons. The idea-ology gears are one of my favourites in the line and I love that the different sets have different sizes. I often add some of the gears from the assemblage line too as they’re smaller. Stacked and adhered with distress collage medium.
I had the theories (CMS329) stamp set out from making my ‘lost in the darkness’ card and used this sentiment, which I love and was perfect for this card. I added idea-ology hardware heads, covered in distress crayon.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you make some time to make…

Love love love. How can I stick tonp more buying when I see such amazing work!
I love this idea.
Love it and I also want to play with the sprays especially the Frayed Burlap (magic) one. Watching the video with the new set was amazing and got me quite excited. 🙂 Can’t wait to see what else you make!! Have a fun and creative weekend.
Your makes are so magical! I love the way you always find older stamps to combine with newer ones; I do not have the inventor stamp yet, but do have cadaverous… I love your tutorials and inspiration and will think about how to combine something old with newer! Will be looking and experimenting this weekend! Thanks!
Just one word – INCREDIBLE !!! Hugs, Anne xx
Hi, Zoe. Really love this one. Can’t stop looking at it 🙂
Hugs, Lisa
Wauw hvor er det flot 🙂
This card has so many wonderful, grungy details on it! Starting with the background, which is amazing, you have waved your magic wand over everything! What a fabulous discovery that the helmet fits the cadaver so perfectly. (For someone who has worked on real cadavers for my work/schooling, I can’t bring myself to get this set.)
