STAMPERS ANONYMOUS

This year I designed a few cards for Tim's Stampers Anonymous booth and if you have seen any of the photos and videos from the floor at Creativation, you know how fabulous this stamp release is! If you missed it, you can also watch Tim's Facebook Live where he shows you all the stamps coming out in the next few months.

For my project today, I have used the Entomology set and colored in the bugs with Distress Oxides. I love how vivid the colors are on this panel. These images were so fun to stamp and color, and I'll take you through the steps of how I created this project. All supplies are linked at the end of this post.

Cut a panel from Distress Watercolor Card stock, ink up handwriting background with Sepia Archival Ink, wipe off some parts of the inked up stamp with a baby wipe then stamp onto panel.
Put panel into stamp platform, arrange bug stamps and stamp panel with Black Archival Ink.
Using a waterbrush, color in the bugs with various colors of Distress Oxides.
Add stitching to panel. Ink edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.
Adhere panel to mats, then to card.
Add card stock banner with mini fasteners.
Ink edges of quote chip with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and adhere to banner.
