Today I feel as though I have been showered with kindness and friendship. When I got up this am, I was off to look at the CAS Challenge at Splitcoast. Imagine my surprise when the challenge was about casing my cards and I was the Featured Stamper. Wow...such a huge honor !!
Thanks so much to all the special people at SCS...I appreciate it so much.
So onto today's card. I cased myself and this card:
I masked off the panel then stamped the Penny Black stamp called Footnote inside the masked panel. I inked my stamp with Distress inks, (Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans), sprayed with water to give a water colour effect and stamped. When it was dry, I sponged on some more ink and added some splatters.
After removing the masks, I scored then pierced the edge.
My sentiment is from Penny Black called Friendship. I inked it up with Memento black, stamped then cut the banner shape. I pierced the edges to match the side strip and mounted it using pop dots.
I am also adding my card to these challenges:
Addicted to Stamps- MAKE YOUR MARK
AAA Cards- PLAY WITH WATERCOLOUR
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Supplies: stamps- Penny Black/ Memento ink/ Distress ink/ pop dots/ piercing tool
