I had a tiny bit of time this week to craft outside of design teams. That never happens anymore! I decided to participate in Linda’s challenge over at Studio L3. I made a card for Tim Holtz using the marbled distress stain technique in my background, which got covered up, and the industrial grunge technique on my bookplate.
Here is the easel card opened up. Most of my stamps are Tim Holtz except for the doily stamp on the background by Hero Arts. Thanks for stopping!

Stunning, Kate – my ideal colour combination, and so much glorious grungy distressing. I absolutely love it – if Sir doesn’t want it, can I have it, please?!?

I absolutely love using those color combos for man cards . You did such a great. Job including the butterfly and heart without making it all girly is super impressive !
