The challenge this week is a colour combo.......
BLUE....CREAM & GOLD
And me being me, there is bound to be a saga attached to the card. I wasn't happy with any of the cream card or papers in my stash so decided to colour white cardstock with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad....Antique Linen and then overstamp with that gorgeous Penny Black stamp..."Fantasy" inked with SU "Not Quite Navy". I then stamped the delicious Penny Black image "Whispers" with Versamark, heat embossed with White and then coloured with TH Distress Ink Pad Faded Jeans. I stamped the image again onto background card, cut out the flowers and popped onto 3D Foam Pads, finishing everything off with generous sprinklings of Gold Glamour Dust. Makes me wonder why I constantly feel the need to stock up with loads of patterned papers.
Sentiment: Craftwork Cards
Ribbon: SU Twill
And we have a fabulous prize this week for one lucky winner

Kath what a beautiful card, I love it. Is there a tutorial somewhere on colouring backgrounds with distress inks, mine always end up blotchy, how did you do it on this one please?

AW This is perfection, I just LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean by too much patterned paper! I always use up my card stock, and try to use my bits and pieces, then the day comes when the only card stock I have is black and white! But I still have a gazillion Pretty patterns left... But there's something about pretty paper!
ReplyDeleteI love your card, beautifully done! TFS
This is absolutely gorgeous such wonderful colours and so well done. Hugs Marja
