Anna-Karin<\/a> created a tag this week using the Sideshow stamp set <\/a>by Tim Holtz. The background was done with Distress Ink and stamped with stamps from the Ultimate Grunge set<\/a>. Stickles<\/a> were used to add the glitter effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandra<\/a> made a masculine card using Paper Dolls<\/a> to star as the brothers, and used Typeset Collage Paper<\/a> in the background along with Texture Paste<\/a> and the Crate stencil<\/a>.
