HIMCR#67 - Challenge

Hi Guys, I missed my regular posting date, but I do have a new quick card to post today.  Really that's about all the time I have is for a quick card, so this will have to satisfy those creative juices I have flooding my head right now.  In response to #67 challenge from Hiding in My Craftroom I made a card from scraps.  I just bought several of Tim Holtz dies (I only own  6 at the present time) and I wanted to see what they looked like on paper, so I used them all on a banner that I had left from the last card I made.  The distress ink colors on the banner are fired brick, peeled paint, tea dye, spiced marmalade, victorian velvet and I went around the edge with black soot.  I liked the look so much that I decided to spray it with of my two favorite glimmer mists, Dazzling Diamonds and Daffodil.  (Who am I kidding, all the glimmer mist colors are my favorite, it just depends on the project I am working on)  Then I decided to give it a little texture by crinkling it up while it was wet, and then drying it with my heat gun.  I love the effect, you can just see a little shimmer on it when the light hits it.  I also had 2 circles left  over from the last card so I used the Tim Holtz stapler to staple the entire thing together.  I used a stamp from my Close To My Heart collection and letters from Recollections Glitter Alphabet for the  "We are" title in the circle.  A scrap from Recollections black card stock was used for the base of the card along with 3 Pearlescent  Goodie Box Jewel Tone pearls.  I plan to make several cards and give them to the Office Administrator at our church to mail to the sick and shut in.  For a quick and easy scrap project, I think it came out pretty darn good!

So, until next time, Happy Scrappin'.
