Altered Tickets

This is my first time altering tickets. I have to say it was really fun! Such a small space but I had two ideas that have been brewing for a while that I finally tried on the tickets. I did a vintage theme ticket strip and a bird "winged things" ticket strip. I haven't made several of something in a assembly line way in quite awhile. I first made one ticket strip completely, then I made each part 4 times and laid it all out. After all the pieces were made it was a quick process to assemble. I did the pointing hand on my Silhouette as a print and cut. I cut banners out of manila cards and stamped "Live your life" and "Inspire" on them. I cut circles out of sheet music and stamped "dream". I had the film strips in my stash from (goodness knows when!)

For the vintage one I first started out by embossing the ticket strip with a Sizzix Tim Holtz (TH) embossing folder. I used a rolling pin instead of dragging out my big shot..

After I embossed the strip I then used my TH blending tool to ink it. 

I really like how it all came together..and vintage is my most favorite style! 

The second one was a little harder for me to embellish. I knew I wanted to use my new brayer and do some pinkish colors. I started out by using my brayer to paint each ticket. It was a lot of fun!! I found 5 brayers for $1.00 at a rummage sale and I've been waiting to use them ever since! I just painted (with acrylic paints) the colors onto the brayer and then rolled right over the ticket. 

I stamped "soard" onto grey cardstock and then banner cut each word. I sprayed little white flowers with grey mist. I punched flowers out of sheet music and inked them. I had little mini white tags I inked grey  and wrote "free" thinking that the saying would kind of read Soar free...ah-it was hard for me to embellish these ones! Lastly I used Prima brads. 

I'm so glad I got these done..and now for summer break from Swaps :] 

Happy Creating,
