Destination Inspiration - May Recipe #4 - Memories of Paris

Hi everyone, Annie here, and welcome to the fourth of this month’s Destination Inspiration posts using our May recipe: 

Product: Any of Tim's dies with the word ‘Vintage’ in the title 

Colour: Stormy Sky 

Technique: Tissue Wrap Collage from Compendium of Curiosities (Vol. II page 38 ) 

Substrate: Cardstock 

Below is my finished make, using all of the items above, although I did have to improvise on the tissue wrap.

As I did not have Tim Holtz tissue wrap in my stash I took some tissue paper and stamped on it using Tim's Paris Memoirs Stamp Set and Jet Black Archival Ink, which I heat dried. Then I was able to continue with Tim's Tissue Wrap Technique from CC2 as detailed above. Once the tissue paper was dry I chose Vintage Photo Distress Paint and Stormy Sky Distress Ink, which you can view in the background of the finished card.

I then took Tim's Vintage Cabinet die and made a card. These TH Sizzix Bigz dies can cut two layers of card with ease. The folded edge of my card was placed slightly away from the left hand side of the die, enabling me to make my card shape. ( see below) I also took another die, which fits inside and cut 2 frames.

I love Tim's Sizzix dies French Flight, which comprise of both stamps and dies and you can see the result above. 

One of the frames was inked with Stormy Sky and then layered flat on to the card. The Tissue wrap background was then placed within the arch. Both were adhered with Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

Tissue tape was adhered to the second frame as you can see below. 

Distress Markers in Barn Door and Cracked Pistachio were applied to the butterflies. Tumbled Glass Distress Marker was used to colour in the word 'Paris'. 

Vintage Photo Distress Ink was then applied to all of the die cut stamped images, not forgetting to ink the edges :-)

So that's the fourth May Recipe......wonder who will creating for next week!!

Can you Guess ???

Until then.............................Crafty Hugs and keep inky
