SUNDAY STAMPERS WK 147 - NOT FADE AWAY



Hel's theme this week over at Sunday Stampers is to include "Texture Fades/Embossing Folders/Dry Embossing in your work. With the arrival of my new and bestest friend last week Vlad, this weeks theme was perfect. Vlad and I have been playing with Texture Fades on TSS Metal. Vlad is so quiet & cuts like a dream .... Vlad is my Vagabond and my first ever die cutting machine:):):)
I have used this fab little wooden arch, which I inked with Faded Jeans Distress Stain, I then ran some TSS Metal (Periwinkle) through the VB using the Dot Matrix & Gridlock Texture Fades, I used my sandpaper tool to distress the metal, then ran my wheel tool around the edge, I then swiped a layer of Distress Ink (Walnut Stain) over the TSS Metal. The stamps are all from various Lord Tim collections. Also used - Ideaology Philosophy Tag , Keyholes & Journal ticket, Distress Stain (Antique Linen).
