Distressed Valentine Post Card

I played with some Tim Holtz techniques when making this postcard. I used spritz and sprays from Tim Holtz, Smooch and Lindsay's to make the background paper. I also added a damask design to the side using a Tim Holtz stencil and some texture paste. What's amazing is that I did not do anything to the paste after it dried. Somehow, some of the spray from the paper under it must have seeped through and colored it, which was a nice surprise. "Love" was stamped using Archival Black Ink and a Tim Holtz stamp. I also sprayed the grunge board heart with some red Smooch and Tim Holtz spray, and added a lock. All embellishments are from Tim Holtz.



I am also entering this postcard to the following blog challenges:
