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.
