My card today was done in response to the challenge over at simon says stamp and show which is to use a Tim Holtz technique. I had seen a few videos on different ways to use the Distress stains so I decided to use mine with the resist heat-embossed technique. I stamped my background stamps onto medium weight watercolour paper with an embossing stamp pad and then added some white Martha Stewart embossing powder from my stash - I have to admit that I rarely use these but now there'll be no stopping me!! Once the powder had been heated, I swiped over the paper with the 'broken china' and 'bundled sage' Distress stains and blotted up the excess. I then stamped a few words and some more pattern over the background with black Memento ink and it was ready for my image.
The digi is one that my clever hubby drew and is available in my etsy shop here. We're both huge racing fans - cars and bikes, so this was an ideal choice! I used the Copics warm and cool greys to colour the digi and then just kept it simple by adding a couple of tickets.

Your background turned out fantastic Dawn! it may be a bit of work to drag out all that embossing equipment but it sure is fun to use it. :-) The race car image is awesome and I love how you used just greys to color it. Hugs!
