Reflections

Just got my new 'Reflections' Tim Holtz stamps and was eager to play with them.  These are designed to be used on embossing folders so that when stamped the image is not backwards.  Both cards feature Tim's 'Old Jalopy' texture trade embossing folder. 

On both I attempted to smear distress ink over the folder before stamping the image so it would appear to be placed behind the car.  This is trickier than it looks as it can appear to be too solid or show smears; definitely warrants more play time.  I tried distress ink and archival ink on the stamps, both worked but with the archival ink you need to make sure you get your embossing folder absolutely clean or it will show up again later.  Trust me.

Plenty of distress inks used, Tim's Collage embossing folder and the Numbers from Provocraft.  The first sentiment was computer generated, the 2nd a stamp from Hero Arts.  Just some fun play time for cards I needed to make right away.
