Stampin Up vellum cardstock – let me know if you need a rep in the greater Houston area, happy to refer you to mine.
Vintage Stampin Up punches – check thrift shops and garage sales. These are out of fashion, and are heavy and bulky to store so crafters purge them. I used a 1” circle for the thumb notch, a 1 1/4” hexagram, and the “curly label”.
This is my spread for the Junk Journal July prompt “contrast.” I started with the fastest ink blending, using liquid drops of Distress Oxide reinker on mixed media paper with a light coat of gesso.
As of this writing, cheaper from Sizzix on Amazon that from the Sizzix website, so always check. Sizzix does offer a new customer 15% coupon. Stampers Anonymous also offers this as a chipboard piece if you would not use it frequently or do not die cut. https://stampersanonymous.com/tim-holtz-etcetera-cathedral-windows-thetc-015.html

A hinge is just a piece of paper joining two other pieces of paper. I use a heavier-weight paper, scored and folded. You can score with a straight edge and a pencil or pen with the lead / point retracted, and fold against the edge of a table.

This particular vintage wood-mount stamp is discontinued and Stampendous has since been acquired by Spellbinders. Just about every stamp line has a large floral image, though.

About the painter:
Joseph Mallord William Turner
Active during the late 18th and early 19th century, primarily known for landscape and marine paintings. He came from a lower class family and started his career as an architectural draftsman, then went on to success as a painter during his lifetime. This painting is Norham Castle, Sunrise from 1845 during his modernism period.
The vast majority of his work, including this painting, is in the Tate Britain. In the US, Yale has quite a few works, as does the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Smaller numbers, or single paintings, can be found at the Art Institute of Chicago, Cleveland Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Huntington in San Marino CA, Metropolitan Museum in NYC, MFA Boston, National Gallery in Washington DC, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati.

Supplies:

Sprays – variety of Ranger Tim Holtz Distress
Somebody did the math. It takes 50 hours of togetherness to make a casual friend, 90 hours to make a friend, and 200 hours to make a close friend. Just being with someone at work doesn’t count – it needs to be meaningful.
Buying it from Sizzix on Amazon is half the price of the Sizzix website as I’m writing this, so always compare and/or wait for a sale. Website does offer 15% new customer coupon. Also look for used steel rule dies at thrift shops and garage sales – they are heavy and bulky so people do purge them from their craft rooms.
