Hands Up All Things T!M ....





Hello all .... So with normality resumed and back to the ole day job ... have to say it was a shock to the system I can tell you, I managed to fit in some inky time last night and have created this 5x5 All Things T!M canvas. I covered the whole canvas in Adirondack Paint Dabber (Pitch Black), dried with a heat gun, then sanded some areas, I then swiped the canvas with Distress Stain (Vintage Photo). All the square scraps are from the Lost And Found Paper Pads. All stamps are from THE T!M Holtz collection (Steampunk, Just Thoughts & Stuff to Say). All metal embellishments are from T!m's Ideaology range. The quote is stamped onto grungeboard which Vlad the Vagabond kindly cut using the Ornamental Movers & Shapers Die and then inked with Distress Stains (Vintage Photo).


Wednesday Stamper & Simon Says Stamp & Show both have themes with "Hands" this week.
