Walk in the Woods

 

Welcome

Meet today's card.

A simple one that took no time at all to make.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I wanted to create a simple blue sky background so I pulled out my Gel Plate and brayer.  I pressed some Peacock Feathers Distress ink along one side of the plate and then some Salty Ocean along the other side and blended them together using my brayer.  
• I pressed a piece of heavy white cardstock over the plate and rubbed to lift the print.  It is honestly one of the easiest ways to blend a background.
• I set that aside to dry then die cut the forest scene from white cardstock.  I love this die....a special gift from a special friend.  To add more interest, I cut along the bottom edge of the die cut before gluing it over the blue background.
• I stamped the sentiment from and old SU set in the bottom corner.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of dark blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
• I added a few white splatters and then 3 navy dots under the sentiment.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
