Simon Says - Transport It

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

TRANSPORT IT

I created a card inspired by Henry Ford who revolutionised transport with his Model T Ford, making cars affordable for the masses across the world. I used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Vintage Auto and Observations with Uncharted Mariner and Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz to create the background, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault World Travel Thinlits, Idea-ology Postmarked, Sticker Book, Paper Dolls Poses and Tiny Text Remnant Rubs.

I sprayed Uncharted Mariner and Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz on to an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card, spritzed with water and dried. I inked the image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Vintage Auto with Hickory Smoke Distress Archival ink and stamped repeatedly over the background.

I inked the image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Observations with Black Soot Distress Archival ink and holding the stamp in my hand, stamped repeatedly on the background.

I spritzed Distress Black HeavyStock with the same colours of Distress Spritz and die-cut the globe frame using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault World Travel Thinlits.

I positioned the globe die inside the frame and die-cut from Distress Watercolor card. I smooshed Uncharted Mariner and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks on to the craft mat on my Glass Media Mat and tapped the die-cuts into the inks. I added shading around the edges using Scorched Timber Distress Ink with a Distress Tiny Blending Tool and assembled, adding foam squares under the top layers to create dimension.

I fixed the dapper gentleman and car from Idea-ology Paper Dolls Poses in place with Distress Collage Medium and trimmed off everything hanging off the edges.

I die-cut the Vault World Travel alphabet letters twice from Distress Kraft HeavyStock, layered and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium. I added stamps from the Idea-ology Postmarked Sticker Book and Tiny Text Remnant Rubs.

I added splatters of Uncharted Mariner Distress Spritz, trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.1/4", fixed to Distress Kraft HeavyStock, trimmed 1/8" larger and fixed to an A2 white card blank.
