Morning. Today's card was made using new stamps from Penny Black and Distress ink. I decided to make a monochromatic card inspired by all the shades of green growing in my garden.
I began by inking up my large background stamp called Floral Tapestry with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress inks, sprayed with water to blend and stamped. I wanted to add extra depth to the background so I inked up my embossing folder with more Peeled Paint, sprayed with water and touched my panel onto the wet ink. You can see a faint hexagon impression in the background.
The oval panel was next. I cut the oval using a Spellbinders Oval Die and stamped the flowers and sentiment from the Friendship Flowers set. The oval looked too plain so I pierced around the outside of the oval then mounted it to my card front using pop dots.
Adding my card to these challenges:
