Here is a card for two challenges - The Stamp Man #14 - Distress and CES Challenge #19 - No Designer Papers.
The base card is Navy Blue and A5 in size.The Background was a piece of white card (that hates water) that was attacked with several colours of Distress Ink and lots of water. Whilst wet it was screwed up and generally battered about before touching more ink over the ridges that were created. When dry, it was trimmed to size and the edges roughened up with that magic edge tool by Sir Tim.
The script paper was stamped twice, side by side, using a Stamp Man stamp using Stazon Ink. The edges were torn and tinted with 2 colours of Distress ink (Broken China and Stormy Sky).
The piece behind the tags was coloured with Distress Ink and splashed with water to lift some of the ink. When dry it was run through a Cuttlebug with an embossing folder and finally sanded to remove some of the surface to age it.
The two tags were coloured with distress inks using a blending tool, stamped and embossed with a flourish stamp from Sheena Douglass. The front one had the word Love stamped (again from Sheena) and the Dragonfly stamp from The Stamp Man.
When the backing was assembled, a hole was punched to take the ball chain (Tim Holtz). The tags were threaded onto the chain and attached to the card and they are held i place with foam pads.
