Creating all my own paper and embellies

I have had such fun creating my paper using distress inks and stencils, then making all my embellishments with dies, punches and stamps.

Here is how I made this page:

I used white Bazzil card stock which I covered in Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed.  Then placed a Kaizercraft template over the top and covered the bottom with Black Soot Distress ink and sprayed the top with water.

I made myself some tags by experimenting with distress paint and pearl paint dabber through another template to see what the effects were if I used them straight from the dabber or with a sponge on an applicator tool as Tim Holtz suggests in his video here from Scrap Time. Which I then covered in distress inks.

I punched out a Martha Stewart boarder, stamped it with a Tim Holtz stamp and inked it with Black soot Distress ink. 

Then I die cut some tickets and a film strip from Tim's dies and stamped them with some Do Craft stamps which I cut up from a whole sheet.

 I folded a piece of brown card stock which I die cut with Tim's camera so it made a card.  I cut an inner for the card and glued it in place.  Made the ring of the lens in another colour and layered it on some foam core that I had also run through the die.  below you can see how it opens and I can journal in here later.

Hope you enjoyed that step out.
