Lucky 13

I took advantage of the recent 20% off Ranger sale at Simon Says Stamp and got some new Tim Holtz products to play with.  So this morning I delved right in and created this card using a new stencil and texture paste.

I stenciled over the Industrial stencil using Ranger Texture Paste onto some Specialty Stamping Paper.  Once it was dry, I sponged over the panel using the ColourQ colors, or in my case, Weathered Wood, Peacock Feathers and Vintage Photo.  I then flicked some water onto the panel.  What I noticed was that as well as bleaching the cardstock, it also bleached the texture paste, so I went back over all the raised parts with a paintbrush and some water to make the stenciled image stand out more.

I kept the layout really simple - a Basic Gray cardbase, a strip of Hawaiian Shores down the left hand side and a white-embossed sentiment banner.  I finished off with a couple of homemade enamel dots in the closest color I could find to Taken With Teal.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:  ColourQ, The Male Room, Simon Says Stamp and Cardz for Guyz - the last three all having Father's Day/Male themes for their current challenges.

Thanks for visiting.
