Here’s how I made it… Die cut distress watercolor cardstock with the voltage bigz die. Cut a second screen piece (above pic: bottom right) out of acetate to…

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a sample that I made for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween facebook LIVE. Step inside The Lab if you dare… When I first saw the weird science (CMS379) stamps, I immediately thought of Dr Frankenstein and imagined what a chalk board in his lab would look like… I altered an idea-ology collage frame some months ago but wasn’t…

Using a retired idea-ology framed panel (I cried a little too), I covered the chipboard panel with opaque crackle texture paste and set aside to dry. Adding a layer of vintage distress collage medium and once dry, rubbing…

Hello friends! I’m back with another card that I made using the new Halloween stamps from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. The card was inspired by the new shifters ray stencil. It just whispered circus to me. The skull from the life of the party stamp set (CMS380) matched perfectly with the distinguished (CMS371) stamp set. I love this sentiment, also from the life of…
