Limited Edition

A masculine birthday card using the Woo Hoo Wednesday "Distress Stamping" tutorial at Inspired By Stamping.  The tyre tread stamp was inked with Black Soot Distress marker, then wiped off a bit before stamping.  I find that I don't get good coverage with markers on clear stamps anyway so the "not well inked up" effect is quite easy to do.


I used:  Kaisercraft On The Move stamp set, Kaisercraft hb  rub-on, Kaisercraft Hunt & Gather dp for car, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Ranger Tim Holtz Black Soot distress marker, foam tape to pop up car and wheels.
