disclosure statement here https www 17turtles com p affiliate and product disclosure html thank you so much for your love and support at august 04 2026 no comments labels art journal cards digital collection metamorphosis from background to finished card more ways to use tim holtz distress crayons i recently had the pleasure of creating a tutorial for the ranger ink youtube channel and i am so excited to share all the details with you here on the blog the video focuses on three different ways to use distress crayons with stencils to create beautiful backgrounds and today i m walking you through how i finished off the cards with layered embellishment clusters these cards have such a gorgeous vintage botanical vibe and i think you re going to love them watch the background techniques on the ranger ink youtube channel before we dive into the finishing details you ll want to head over to the ranger ink youtube channel to watch the full background tutorial i cover three techniques applying distress crayons directly through the stencil lifting color with a baby wipe and monoprinting with the stencil each one gives you a completely different look and they re all so fun to try ranger ink video link stamping the images for the focal images i used the tim holtz botanic collage stamp set stamping onto distress watercolor cardstock with black soot archival ink i stamped each image twice once to have the individual flower and butterfly images to color and die cut and a second time to keep the full stamped image intact for layering watercoloring with distress crayons to add color to the flowers and butterflies i used distress crayons in peeled paint peacock feathers rusty hinge and fossilized amber with black soot for the butterfly bodies i picked up the color directly from the crayon using a water brush and painted in the images this is such a beautiful way to use the crayons the colors blend so naturally and the watercolor cardstock handles the water beautifully die cutting the images once the watercoloring was complete and dry i cut out the individual flowers and butterflies using the coordinating die sets available exclusively from simon says stamp creating the ephemera pieces for additional layering pieces i also stamped images from the tim holtz field notes stamp set onto distress watercolor cardstock using black soot archival ink then cut them out using the coordinating die sets also available exclusively from simon says stamp to give both the botanic collage full stamped image pieces and the field notes ephemera pieces an aged distressed look i used the ink smooshing technique i smooshed an old paper distress ink pad onto my craft mat spritzed it with water and then pressed the paper into the ink after drying with my heat tool i trimmed the pieces down to size for even more texture i tore some of the edges of the paper and inked the non torn edges with distress ink in walnut stain film strips and photo frames i die cut the film strips and photo frames using the tim holtz vault picture show die set cutting them from black kraftstock i then lightly sanded them to create a distressed effect such a simple step but it makes such a difference sentiments for the sentiments i used the tim holtz vault handwritten celebrate die set cutting them from copper rose gold metallic cardstock the metallic finish adds a beautiful pop against all the layered textures i d love to hear from you which of the three distress crayon stencil techniques from the ranger ink video are you most excited to try let me know in the comments below

metamorphosis a cardmaking tutorial now that metamorphosis is out in the world i wanted to show you what you can actually do with it i made four cards using the a2 size papers and ephemera from the collection each one building on the last whether you re new to mixed media or you like to layer it on thick there s a card here for you all four cards use the a2 size papers as the base layer on all of them i inked the edges of the papers and ephemera with ground espresso distress ink and added white splatters with dr ph martin s bleedproof white card no 1 keeping it simple this one s a good starting point if you re new to the collection or to mixed media just an a2 size paper as the base and two pieces of ephemera on top sometimes simple is all a card needs card no 2 adding more layers this card adds more ephemera on top of an a2 size paper base in the video i walk through how i choose which pieces to use together and how i layer them for balance one of the questions i get asked most card no 3 embossing and luster wax here i used an embossing folder on one of the a2 size papers then sizzix luster wax to make that embossed design pop i share tips for getting a clean embossed design plus how to distress ephemera pieces with a sanding disc and distress ink i also show a few different a2 paper options for the base layer card no 4 texture paste for serious texture this one starts with clear gesso on the printed a2 size paper which helps it hold up to mixed media techniques once that s dry i add texture paste through a stencil for real dimension same as the others i talk through how i chose the ephemera to finish it off watch the full tutorial i walk through the full process for all four cards including my tips on ephemera selection and placement in the video below if

disclosure statement here thank you so much for your love and support at july 28 2026 2 comments labels cards sbc fest scrapbook com introducing metamorphosis my first digital papercrafting collection for months i ve been working on something i ve shared with only a couple of creative friends and my husband today however i m finally sharing it with all of you my first ever digital paper crafting collection called metamorphosis yes it s about butterflies but it s about so much more than that too it s about me and the journey i went on creating this collection why metamorphosis many years ago i did graphic design work for a scrapbooking company when i left i stepped away from digital paper design entirely and focused on the card making and mixed media work you ve come to know me for here but digital design never really left me it stayed quietly in the back of my mind as something i loved even though i didn t yet have the confidence to pursue it entirely on my own recently inspired by another artist in our creative community i started thinking hard about where i wanted to go next designing this collection every step of it became its own journey of rediscovering that confidence and creativity when you hear the name metamorphosis i want you to picture butterflies of course but i also want it to represent my own creative journey becoming someone who trusts her own voice enough to put something entirely her own out into the world this collection contains all the things i love the colors the imagery the little details and i hope that comes through in every piece watch the full story i made a full video sharing more about metamorphosis the story behind it and a complete walkthrough of everything included in the collection i d love for you to watch it the reveal video watch
