This third entry to this week’s Monday challenge for Simon Says Stamp is a tag showing a theme of traveling or transporting.
The background is created by blending distress oxide inks and then stamped with a world globe. Rub-ons from Ardens Been There collection for the suitcases and the lock and key from Mintay Grunge ephemera.
I have just discovered rub-ons and usually I have no issues. This time, they were not cooperating. I started investigating and found if the oxide inks are not dry, the rub-ons will not stick. Easy fix, heat tool. I have no patience to allow it to dry on its own. Also, the rub-ons can take a little heat to start the process. If a person plans the design ahead of time, most rub-ons will resist and they could be applied before the oxides and then easily wiped off so they show through. Anyhow, I got them to stick down and was very happy with the result.
