Today I thought I’d have a bit of fun with ink… and I definitely got it everywhere! I am now walking around with green fingertips… but it could be worse, I could have glitter all over my face… actually, I probably do! I thought I would join this week’s CASE Study Challenge as Jill’s card looked irresistable! I was inspired by the basic layout as well as creating my own embossed background. The muted colours that I used made me think this would make a nice sympathy card (I don’t plan on needing one just at the moment, but it is always handy to have one ‘ready to go’).
Supplies; Paper: A4 White Cardstock, Bazzill – Pine Cone. Ink: Distress Inks – Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Wild Honey, VersaMark, Memento – Rich Cocoa. Stamps: The Paper Studio – Botaniacals & Birds, Hero Arts – Flourish Background. Accessories: Fiskars Stamp Press, Heat Tool, White embossing powder, Bigshot, Lifestyle Crafts – Nesting Ovals, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist – Coffee Shop, Martha Stewart 3 in 1 Butterfly Punch, Dew Drops – Hydrangia, DST, Foam Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots.
Awesome card!
Oh, it’s so much easier to have these on hand just in case.
I really love how you can see the influence of Jill’s card in yours, but yours is, well, YOURS! (Oh, such fancy words…lol) I really love the colours you’ve chosen, and the gorgeous floral stamp 🙂
The layers are simply stunning! Love the earthy background you created! HUGS!
Tee hee! I’m glad it wasn’t just me walking around with stained fingertips after creating a card for this week’s CASE study!
Totally worth the stained fingers when you see the finished result: what fabulous inking!
Thanks for joining us on CASE study!
Hugs,
