I am no Tim Holtz!

OK, we all know that.  (stating the obvious)   Every once in awhile I try to do a really distressy card.  I love Ranger products and use them on just about every card for texture or color dimension but don't often pull out Crackle Accents and Distress Stickles.  Thought I'd give it a try with this Unity stamp.  Marginal -- because, as I said, I'm not Tim.  But it was fun to play.

 

I stamped the image on a manila tag in Walnut Stain Distress ink.  I stamped it again and cut out the bird and covered it with Fired Brick Distress ink.  Then I covered that with Fired Brick Distress Stickles and let it dry.  The best way to spread it around is with your finger.  After cutting out the stamped whole image I colored over the branch with a dark brown Copic marker to make it stand out from the Walnut Stain, then cut around the image.  I then covered it with Ranger Crackle Accent and let it dry overnight so it would crackled.  I used Bo Bunny patterned paper (the green) and assembled the card.  I used TIm Holtz's edge distresser around the edge of the red paper and then some Walnut Stain around the edges of the red cardstock to age it a bit.   Ok, now that I'm looking at this I realize that the bird needs an eye!  Off to apply a tiny little blob of black enamel accents.  :-)

Supplies:  Bazzill cardstock; Ranger Distress Inks (Walnut Stain and Fired brick), Crackle Accents, Fired Brick Distress Stickles, Edge Distresser; Manila tag; Copic marker; Bo Bunny patterned paper
