Topic: Stamping
I recently got the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform. It is a stamp positioner with a gridded base, and a hinged gridded clear lid. You put your cardstock on the base, arrange stamps on it, close the lid and raise it. Now you can ink the stamp, close the lid to stamp, raise it, change out cardstock and repeat.
If you don't get a good impression you can ink and stamp again and it always goes back to the same place!
The difference on this positioner is that the lid is removable so you can use one side for clear stamps and the other for the thicker red rubber stamps.
So, for this card, I had a swath of snowfalkes plus several individual ones, the sentiment and the bear. All could be stamped in one go. Then I turned the card around, removed everything but the swath and repositioned that to fill the opposite corner.
Just like that, I had a dozen card fronts ready to color.
I used Distress Markers for all the coloring. Then I got out the bulb spritzer and used it with two colors of marker to create the mist over the surface.
I do believe I am going to like this new tool.
