Using the Christmas Words Stencil I inked them on a pressed wood panel using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. |
I used the Distress Marker Spritzer and a Black Soot Distress Marker to add splatter all of the panel. |
After shaking a white painting pen, I added splatters of the white paint as well. Then I inked the edges of the panel. |
An oldie but a goodie, the Stamper's Anonymous Christmas Carol stamp was used to stamp on Ranger's #8 Kraft tags using Watermark Resist Ink. I love the subtle shade it gives on Kraft. I trimmed off the bottom and inked the edges in Black Soot. These will be used with Tim's Stamps and Framelits technique. |
I used the Gesso starching on another piece of material using Black Gesso. Both pieces of the material will be used for Tim's technique. |
I cut strips of more of the fabric to be used for the snowman's scarf. |
Using smaller #6 Kraft tags, I inked and splatter with water. I love the molted look. |
I cut the 25's out of more fabric and stitched them on to the smaller tags. |
These were so simple and really look cool. I layered everything on to the wood panels and inked everything up, and added some scraps of burlap and Idea-ology metal and paper string. |
More of Tim's technique was used on the snowflakes! |
Then I used some of the new Ranger Stickles to add some Christmas sparkle! |
Supplies:
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
