TIM HOLTZ MINI MASK

...hello everyone, today I'm sharing with you my DT piece for It's Crafting Time...the theme for this week is our supplied product...
 
...I have made a card using the Compass Mini Mask by Tim Holtz...
 
 
...the background paper is from 'crowded Attic' by Tim Holtz, I placed the mask and lightly inked the whole piece with old paper distress ink for that aged feel...
 
 
...the mask is fabulous and gives great effect, I added some ideaology spinners...
 
 
...I finished off with a sentiment very apt for travel, some burlap and an idealogy disc tied with twine, I hope you like it...
 
 
...It's Crafting Time stocks a vast range of products in store if you live locally but if not check out their on-line shop here http://itscraftingtime.blogspot.co.uk/
 
 
...It was the first time I have used a mask and found it very easy and loVed the amazing effect...
 
...thank you for stopping by today & a huge thank you to my followers old & new for all your kind & encouraging words...

  3. I love the fact that you've used a background paper to start - this inspires me to do that as I rarely use them as a starting point. I think the one small touch of 'colour' lifts the whole card and of course, those spinners are a wonderful final touch! When I saw the thumbnail for this gorgeous creation, I thought it was going to be a canvas - now there's a thought. . . . . you would make an amazing job if it was!
    Have a good week,

  25. That is really nice, captures that "distress feel', that's for sure. I'll have to get out that mask, I'm sure i have it somewhere. Did you say that was old paper distress ink? I've never heard of that. Barb
