Word Art Wednesday

 

Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday! We are nearing Father's Day and this verse references "mighty men". I computer printed the verse at 50% size onto some patterned paper. I die cut the background using a torn edge die then sponged the edges with Enchanted Evening ink. I stenciled with the burlap stencil using Broken China distress ink. All the images were from Tim Holtz' The Journey stamp set. It included 2 arrow stamps which fit the verse perfectly.



STAMPS: The Journey (Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection).
INK: Broken China distress (Ranger); Enchanted Evening (PTI).
PAPER: Vintage Shabby 12x12 pad (Tim Holtz idea-ology); Stampers Select White (PTI).
DIES: Love to Layer: Torn Edges (Papertrey Ink).
OTHER: Burlap stencil (Tim Holtz).

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

 

I needed a break from all the paper work that happens after a spouse's death, so what better way to relax than to create a card?! I pulled this leftover background of layered stamping paired with Liquitex light modeling paste and a dot stencil. I clear embossed a large echinacea and used an aqua painter brush and some distress inks to color it. I'm entering this into the The Paper Players tic-tac-toe challenge using the vertical row of die cut, stenciling and layers.

 

STAMPS: Patient Echinacea, Spring Collage Tag (Creative Worship Stamps); French Market (Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection by Stampers Anonymous).
INK: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers distress inks; Versafine Clair Nocturne (pigment ink). 
PAPER: Watercolor paper; True Black, Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink).
DIES: Tag & More, Patient Echinacea
OTHER: Dotted stencil; Liquitex light modeling paste; Brads.
