This week over at the Studio L3 blog we were challenged to use texture fades (embossing folders) and distress inks. You can see Tim's video that explains it very well here. Although I do have several of the Texture Fade folders by Tim I chose to use this one from Sizzix that fit with the new papers and unmounted stamps I just received from Club Scrap, the Dashing collection.
This was a special release kit that went with the annual PSL (Pro Scrapbooking League), which was a 7 week long competition of card making and scrapbook layout making fun!
I used Faded Jeans and Broken China distress inks to ink up the embossing folder. Using the same inks I stamped the two images. To get a two-tone look I inked it randomly with the lighter color, then the darker and stamped. Then I dug through my hardware and found a little hinge that seemed to work really well with the image. One year in my stocking my husband got me all kinds of washers, nuts and hinges from the hardware store to add to my creations.
Supplies:
Stamps and Cardstock: Club Scrap Dashing
Embossing Folder: Sizzix
Ribbon: my stash
