Day-Tripping

 


Welcome
Meet today's card.
Simple painted piece pulled from my stash.
I had rolled off the excess green paint from my brayer while using my Gel Plate.  I like to save them all for future use and also I don't like to waste the paint on my brayer.
I love the sentiment with this card too since we have all missed being together and doing things.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • Like I mentioned above, I pulled out this brayered painted background and placed it into my Misti.
  • Using some Vintage Photo Archival Distress ink, I inked up the Country Life stamp from Penny Black and pressed it onto the paper. * By stamping using the Misti, it gives you the chance to stamp more then once which is sometimes necessary when stamping over a painted bkg.*
  • I removed and cleaned the stamp, then positioned the sentiment from the Destination Sentiments set also from PB and inked and stamped it with the same colour.
  • I glued the finished panel onto a matching piece of brown cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks a lot for coming by and taking a look.
