Embellishments

Hello Cropstop friends. Today I have a different kind of post for you - a post on creating embellishments. I don't know about you, but I'm not always "in the mood" to create a full fledged project. That was the case a few days ago when I pulled out my That's The Ticket Dies (Spellbinders) and set to work creating some fun little embellishments to use on future projects.
(Note: The dies I used are currently "out of stock," but Cropstop does have Sideshow Ticket dies by Memory Box.)

For this first set I:

• die cut a ticket from cream card stock using the That's The Ticket Dies (Spellbinders)
• stamped text from Curious Possibility (Tim Hotlz) in Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide
• inked all the edges using sponge daubers and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide
• stamped floral design from Flights of Fancy (Tim Hotlz) in Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide
• stamped sentiment from Bird Crazy (Tim Hotlz) in Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide
• stamped butterfly from Flights of Fancy (Tim Hotlz) in Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide
• cut out the butterfly and glued it to the left side of my ticket

 For the second set I:

• die cut a ticket from cream card stock using the That's The Ticket Dies (Spellbinders) 
• inked all the edges and the ticket using sponge daubers in Peeled Paint Distress Oxide
• stamped the grid design from Bitty Grunge (Tim Hotlz) in Walnut Stain Distress
• stamped the postmark from French Market (Tim Hotlz) in Tuxedo Black Ink (Tsukineko)
• stamped the hand and sentiment from Special Delivery (Tim Hotlz) in Walnut Stain Distress Oxide
• cut out the above and glued them to the left side of the ticket

For the third set of tickets I:

• die cut a ticket from cream card stock using the That's The Ticket Dies (Spellbinders) 
• stamped ticket from The Journey (Tim Hotlz) in Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide
• inked all the edges and the ticket using sponge daubers in Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide
• stamped the compass from Air Travel (Tim Hotlz) in Tuxedo Black Ink (Tsukineko)
• stamped the sentiment from The Journey (Tim Hotlz) in Fired Brick Distress Oxide

For the last set I:

• die cut a ticket from cream card stock using the That's The Ticket Dies (Spellbinders) 
• inked the ticket with Faded Jeans Distress Oxide 
• stamped the diamond background from French Market (Tim Hotlz) in Tuxedo Black Ink (Tsukineko)
• stamped the numbers from Here and There (Tim Hotlz) in Tuxedo Black Ink (Tsukineko)
• stamped the man from Curious Possibility (Tim Hotlz) in Peeled Paint Distress Oxide
• cut out and glued to the right side of the ticket
• stamped the  sentiment from Here and There (Tim Hotlz) in Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide
• cut out and glued to the left side of the ticket 

Here's a sneak peak of the cards I later created from these fun tickets -- lots of stamp layering using Tim Hotlz stamp sets and Distress Oxides! I'll share the finished cards on the next two Mondays, so come back then.

In the mean time, stop by the CURRENT LINK PARTY and showoff your projects that include a few products from the companies Cropstop carries in the store! Hope to see you there!
