TIM Holtz The Inspector

I’m so excited to be sharing some fantastic news that I’ve been holding onto for a while now. As of today, I’m officially a member of the Colorful Options design team. A few months ago I was one of the lucky winners for their pastel challenge and was approached by the lovely and talented Makira and was asked to join the team and of course, I accepted immediately.

For the next month, our challenge theme is Red, white, Blue.

You have the freedom to play with one, two, or all three of the colors, mix and match them in any combination. Or you may choose to venture into a rainbow of colors. The choice is entirely yours!

I actually made two cards for this challenge.

The first is this amazing stamp by Tim Holtz The Inspector. I wanted to keep it simple so just stamped and coloured the image with Distress oxides and water and added a little glossy accents to the eyes. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz which I thought was quite fitting as he looked like a miserable so-and-so. I added a frame and matted it with red card and there you have it!

For my second card, I used the amazing die set Arista from Birch Press Designs, with lots of lovely layers and endless possibilities. For the background, I used the Pinpoint Radial Plate also by BP.

I do hope you will join us at Colorful Options my teammates have the most amazing projects to delight and inspire and there is also a 25$ gift voucher from Simon Says Stamp so even more incentive to join in!
