Hey Creative Scrapbooker Fans! For today’s blogpost I will be playing with a variety of Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz stamp sets.  I will be creating this Hello Friend Card which also uses a variety of products from Ranger Ink, Super Stock Cardstock from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my card at home. To start, cut a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Cotton Watercolour Paper from Ranger Ink that measures 3 ¾” x 5 ¾”.  Next, you’ll need the  Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Tiny Prints Stamp Set. Apply Tattered Rose Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink from Ranger Ink to the stamp and stamp onto the piece of Cotton Watercolour Paper. Spritz the paper with water. Once the paper has dried, ink the edges of the paper using Scorched Timber Distress Ink and a Blending Tool with Foam from Ranger Ink. Next, you’ll need one of the borders out of the  Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz floral borders stamp set. Apply Ground Espresso Distress Archival Ink from Ranger Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of Super Stock from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. Colour the floral image using a waterbrush and Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Watercolour Distress Pencils.  I used the following colours –  Kitsch Flamingo, Villainous Potion, Mustard Seed and Peeled Paint. Once the image has dried, fussy cut it out. Ink the edges of the image using Scorched Timber Distress Ink and a Blending Tool with Foam from Ranger Ink. Out of the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Floral Elements Stamp Set , you’ll need one of the branches. Apply Scorched Timber Distress Ink from Ranger Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of Cotton Watercolour Paper from Ranger Ink. Reapply the ink to the stamp and stamp four more times. Once stamped, spritz the branches with water. Once the ink has dried, use a waterbrush and Peeled Paint Watercolour Distress Pencil from Ranger Ink to colour the branches as desired. After the branches have dried, fussy cut each branch out. Ink the edges of the branches using Scorched Timber Distress Ink and a Blending Tool with Foam from Ranger Ink. Next, you’ll need one of the circle stamp and Hello Friend Sentiment out of the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Note Quotes stamp set. Apply Scorched Timber Distress Ink from Ranger Ink to the circle stamp and stamp onto a piece of Cotton Watercolour Paper from Ranger Ink.  Spritz the circle with water. Allow the circle to dry. Apply Milled Lavender Distress Ink from Ranger Ink to the Hello Friend sentiment stamp in the center of the circle. Once the image has dried, fussy cut it out. Ink the edges of the image using Scorched Timber Distress Ink and a Blending Tool with Foam from Ranger Ink. Cut a piece of Distress Kraft Cardstock from Ranger Ink that measures 4” x 6”. Ink the edges of the paper using Scorched Timber Distress Ink and a Blending Tool with Foam from Ranger Ink. Use E-Z Runner from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to adhere the floral paper to the kraft cardstock. Use E-Z Runner from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to adhere the branches in amongst the floral image as desired. Use 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to adhere the floral image on the left hand side of the floral paper as desired. Use E-Z Runner from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to adhere the circle with sentiment to the right of  the floral image as desired. To finish the card, cut a piece of Super Stock from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine that measures 4” x 12”, score at 6”. Use E-Z Runner from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to adhere the cardfront to the cardbase. Here are a few closeup photos of my card. Thank you for joining me today and taking the time to check out my blog post. I hope that my Hello Friend Card has inspired you to recreate your own at home.
