I made this card grungy, and added in some of Tim Holtz's yummy metal and ticket stamps. I finally broke down and purchased some of Tim's clocks. The price was horrible, and I did get a small discount at my LSS...but still. Tim, dude y'all are killin' me here. I'm paying so. Cal. prices for this stuff, dude! Make some ugly stuff for a while, k?
Here is a close up shot of the NEW Graphic45 flowers. These are made from a heavy weight cardstock, not quite chipboard, so they have some flexibility, but are not flimsy. You can really manipulate them into shape. You can also see a bit of one of the new G45 Trims here. I used more of Tim's stamps on the inside of the card. And that's enough free advertising for that guy!
And naturally I had to use the Jabberwocky! I just love saying that word! Sounds like a really great cuss word! But it's NOT!
Because I am a crazy person, I made another card in this same style that I had planned for a class in August. I won't be teaching the class now, but I do plan to sell some paper kits for the class, so stay tuned!
I still used the Tim Holtz stamps, but less of the metal...to make the class affordable.
And get a load of my Tim Holtz memo pin! I used a technique that I stole from the Studio 490 blog...I put some paper behind the pin, then filled the hole with glossy accents...and made a super funky cool embellie! Do I rock or what? Ok, Wendy rocks, but still...
