Hi crafty friends, welcome to this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Thank you to all of you who played along with us last week in our Something New Challenge and I hope you will join us again this week. This week our theme is Rust It Up and I hope you all will give this challenge a try and share it with us 🙂
For my card this week, I wanted to use the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Retro Type Bigz die. I cut it out and painted it with Black Soot Distress Paint. Then I added bits of Grit Paste along with Fossilized Amber, Rusty Hinge and Ground Espresso Distress Paints over top. To make it even more rusty, I added some Prima Rust Effect paste over top with my finger.
For the background, I swiped a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock through some Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks that I sprayed with water and some Tarnished Brass DIstress Mica Spray, drying it with a heat tool and adding layers of ink.
Once my background was dry, I used Archival Inks and Rusty Hinge Ink Distress Ink to fill it up with images from the Stampers Anonymous Documented set. I stamped a sentiment from the Glorious Garden set onto a piece of paper and put it through the typewriter and then added the tiny heart from the Falling Hearts dies.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

This beautiful card makes me hope even more that that typewriter die will be soon available over here at my corner of the Alps 😉
Love the subtle rust and texture against that beautiful background!

Gorgeous rusty typewriter, Cheiron! I love the background and how you created your ‘typed’ message, too.

I love your rusty, dusty old typewriter – like something you’d find tucked in a far corner of an antique shop. Great background too.
