This week's Grungy Monday challenge at Studio L3 is to make a card featuring Tim Holtz's products or techniques in under ten minutes, and Simon Says Stamp and Show wants to see some stripes.
When I thought about what kind of quick card I could make, I knew I wanted to use a large stamp. Tim's Papillon set has this gorgeous text/script stamp and it came to mind immediately.
I started out by stamping red/white striped patterned paper with the Papillon stamp. I used black soot distress ink and then heat embossed with clear powder. I tore the panel apart after embossing. (Tip: If you tear towards you instead of away from you, you'll see that nice white strip.)
I stamped the sentiment (also Tim) on black/white striped paper and embossed it. I used a leftover scrap from the red panel and punched it with a Martha starburst punch.
Inked all the edges with black soot and adhered my punch with a brad.
Thanks as always for your visit. Hope you have a great day!
Marjie

Super job, Marjie! I love that stamp and the way you embossed it on the striped paper is brilliant. I love stamping on patterned paper and somehow never think to do so! Thanks for the reminder/inspiration. I always love it when you join in the fun with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show!
Hugs,
Linda
