I challenged myself to go a bit outside of my usual box for this one. Since we were encouraged to use Tim Holtz products, I checked out my stash and pulled out a GORGEOUS stamp I've had around for a bit and then decided that inking was simply in order. I mean, who can be inspired by Tim Holtz and NOT lay on the ink?! LOL! I 'colored' my image with distress inks! SO FUN! Of course, his beard is shimmering with Wink of Stella clear because I pretty much am having an affair with that thing. Just sayin'. I accented his hat with a bit of enamel accents, too! SO MUCH FUN!!!!
I also added some of that fabulous film strip ribbon from Tim Holtz. I LOVE that stuff! I don't use it often, but it is just SO much fun!!! Plus... it totally comes in an little adorable tin and I love that. Good stuff, folks. Good stuff, I tell ya! You can find links to ALL of the super fun goodies I used on this card below.
And, as per usual, the absolutely fabulously generous Heidi is offering one lucky participant (chosen at random) a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! Happy Happy to YOU!!!!!
Have A Happy!!!
