Some really great challenges coming up this month to get your creative juices flowing.
The challenge this week is to create a card of thanks using Fall colors. Easy right?
This is what I came up with.
I began by pulling out my Penny Black set called Nature's Gifts. I love the cluster of leaves. I got out my MISTI and inked my stamp with Barn Door and Fired Brick Distress inks, sprayed with water and stamped. Then while the stamp and paper were still wet, I randomly pressed some Brushed Corduroy and stamped again.
When that was dry, I drew in the black line frame and splattered some more Distress inks that I had watered down, over the background and stamped the sentiment called Flourish Thank You.
Still needed something more so to add some warmth, I sponged the edges with Antique Linen Distress ink. It's amazing how the sponging affects the overall look.
