by applying the Distress Glaze to the stamp with a sponge.

Then we apply the Victorian velvet ink and spray glimmer mist over it.

Apply antique linen to the edges with a finger sponge.

And repeat with walnut stain.

With Distress oxide bundled sage you stamp the script.

With the Distress Oxide Bundled Sage and Victorian Velvet, 

you stamp a number of perfume bottles.

Wait until the ink is completely dry.

Color the bottles with antique linen.

Use a finger sponge to color the edges with walnut stain.

For the background tag that we use as a mat, sponge with the Bundled Sage.

Stamp the long swirl with Victorian Velvet and sponge the edges with Walnut Stain.

Assemble the tag, giving the perfume bottles different heights.

#209 Challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps "No body here"

 

Hi, here is a new tutorial for you.

Its made for the new challenge "No body here" over at Lost Coast Designs.

This is what I used for this card.

Bugs set,

Pieces of calligraphy,

Pieces of architecture,

Roses,

Large film strip,

Crackle background.

Distressink: 

Scattered straw

Crushed olive

Gathered twigs

Walnut stain

Pumice stone

Archival ink Coffee

Versa mark Jumbo Java

Bister naturel or any other brown ink.

Foamtape

I started by making the background yellow using the Scattered straw and some water.

And I added brown spots to it with gathered twigs.

Stamped the rose with pumice stone.

With walnut stain I stamped the crackle,

 and the smal script from the Pieces of calligraphy sheet.

I also made the edges darker.

I frayed the edges with a distress tool.

And inked them again with the walnut stain.

I made some drops on the paper with brown bistre.

You stamp the filmstrip with the Versa Mark Jumbo Java.

Once it is completely dry, go over it with a blending tool and Pumice stone.

Take one of the stamps from the Pieces of Architecture sheet and stamp with 

Pumice Stone in a taped-off box of the filmstrip.

Now stamp one of the bugs with Archival Ink Coffee.

If you don't have this ink, any other brown ink will work too.

Take a piece of foam tape and stick the filmstrip diagonally 

onto the card so that the rose remains clearly visible. 

Matte with a dark brown background.

Hope you enjoyed it.

It would be nice if you joined the challenge.
