Enjoy the Journey

Time and time again I come back to Tim Holtz's products.  For this week's travel challenge at the Playing in Paradise blog I used some stamps by Tim Holtz, Distress Stains and Distress Inks and love the vintage feel of this card.
 
 

I smooshed some stains onto my craft mat and spritzed with water, then rubbed a piece of watercolor paper through using a 'Wrinkle-free Distress technique'. You can find lots of tutorials on You Tube! I then stamped the old-time truck with Archival Ink and added the key, 'Enjoy the Journey', the file tab and the tickets, below.

 
I stamped these tickets on Kraft paper and then rubbed Distress Stains directly on top and then went over them with a sponge and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  As a finishing touch I sprayed them with Frost sparkly spritz.
 
Be sure to check out the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog for lots of fun ideas!
