It is SUCH a pleasure to be checking in with you, this week!
Just Us Girls are BRINGIN' the elegance for this stunning
challenge, creating with the NEGATIVE die cut shape!
You'll have to take my word for it, on the elegance factor...
My take went a-ways AROUND the concept, but I wandered
across the finish line ~ LOL~ eventually!
But if ELEGANCE is what you crave...
CHECK out the fabulous JUG-ETTES!
Our EVER sparkly and talented, Vicki,
is leading the creative fun this week,
and the girls have somehow managed to
OUT-DO themselves, once again!

But, as I mentioned... I took the LONG way home...
{A special thanks to Pinterest, for enabling me...}
For SOME reason, I was compelled to do a LOT of masking.
I'm always drooling over projects on Pinterest, but in particular,
I love seeing folks use STICKER letters to mask a decorative
background, then paint/distress over the entire thing, REMOVE
the stickers and expose the original background... OH, it's
just DELICIOUS! Anywhoo, I was motivated to create a look
like that... Not sure if you'll be convinced, but I still managed to
have FUN, whilst bustin' out some AMAZING Tim Holtz stamps
& FABULOUS, ancient designer paper and sticker letters...
~ I ADORE the images that Tim chooses to turn into stamps! ~
then coating it with a thin layer of clear adhesive, let dry.
Once the glue was dry, I used distress ink and then acrylic paint
dry-brushed across the masked letters and certain stamped images.
When that step was dry, I stamped the car image with Versafine,
detail ink in black. Once that was dry, I CAREFULLY removed
the sticker letters, and then lightly sponged the white with
Antique Linen Ink from the T!m man... {!}
When that was done... I REMEMBERED the "negative" die cut
premise{!}, and OUT came THOSE tools... LOL
But it STILL worked!
I hope it takes YOU somewhere incredibly crafty, and that you'll join us this week!
Have a WONDERFUL day!

A-mazing! I love to see what you create each week cause there is always a delightful twist to your creations! Date might must be inspiring! ;-)
Awesome "tim type" card . I just LOVE the sentiment -- I have a friend who says that all the time! :) Great use of "negative" -- well done
All your hard work paid off, Elise. Love the card. Such a great car image and the negative for the sentiment along with the charm are fabulous! Way to take it out of the box :)
great use of the negative and love the tut you did.
