Happy Anniversary

Welcome

I so appreciate you came to see what I have been up to.

I made this card a couple months ago for my husband when we celebrated our 38th Anniversary.  

He loved the simplicity of it and the wood background.

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock and I rubbed different colours of Distress Oxide inks  directly onto the paper, spraying with water and blending as I added more and more colour.

• When I was happy with the inking, I embossed the inked panel using the Tim Holtz Lumber embossing folder.  This folder is amazing and gives deep woodgrain impressions on your paper.
• I rubbed some Black Soot DOX ink randomly over the top to highlight the grain of the wood, then set it aside to dry completely.
• I stamped the heart from Studio G onto a piece of black cardstock with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed it.
• Using a red Copic Marker, I coloured in the heart and then added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze over the heart to help make it pop.
• I glued the woodgrain panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto a black card base.

Well that's all for today.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Hello and Welcome

Meet today's card.

I love trying new techniques although I don't think this is a new one but so fun to try out.

It reminds me of barnboard, I think it's called 'Faux Shiplap' but it may go by another name.  Super easy to do and I love the look you can create for a background.

So onto how I made my card.

I took a piece of heavy white cardstock and using my ScorPal, I scored lines across, spacing them every 3/4 inches apart.  Make sure you have good impressions with the lines for the best results.

Next, I took my Weathered Wood DI pad and holding it flat against my card stock, I gently slid the pad over the raised scored lines so the ink would be transferred to the lines.  Some of the ink was also transferred to the flat areas making it look more like distressed wood.  I love the look.

I then placed the piece inside my Misti and stamped the sentiment right in the center of my card front with some black ink.  Love this set PB set called Snowflake Sentiments.

I then stamped the snowflakes randomly around the outside edge using some more of the Weathered Wood ink, keeping the card monochromatic.

When I was done stamping, I simply mounted it onto a white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
