I’ve made another card for this months theme, as you can never have too many cards on hand.
I
cut out a square of almost 5x5 inch card and using Distress Inks Rustic
Wilderness, Carved Pumpkin and Lumberjack Plaid, I inked up a background
using the smoosh and dab method. I added the green last, after the first two colours had dried.
Once completely dry, I used the text from the stamp set Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous French Garden CMS487.
For
the script text I stamped this in Archival Frayed Burlap. Then I did a
second generation stamp of the larger text, in VersaFine Clair Nocturne
Black.
Finally I stamped the small number in the top left corner.
Using
my stamping platform, I placed my main image - the larger flower from
French Garden - and stamped this in Versaclair Nocturne Black.
Leaving
it in place on the platform, I coloured the flower using the Distress
Inks Carved Pumpkin, Crackling Campfire, Lumberjack Plaid and Rustic
Wilderness, and a little White Acrylic mixed into the oranges and reds,
with a watercolour brush. I think the white gives it a chalky 'renaissance paintings' look'.
Once dry, I re-stamped the image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Black, to bring the black to the front again.
I
used the Hobbygros Pressing Tool which I recently bought and it’s
awesome!!! Makes pressing down to get a good stamped image so much easier
than using your hand. How did I ever live without this!!! It has to be my
tool of the year!!
Next I placed some builder's gypsum mesh tape in a couple of areas, and added an Idea-ology Field Notes Snippets to the top right hand corner, secured with the Idea-ology Cell Tape.
I layered this up onto a black card leaving a little edge showing.
Then I stamped out the words 'thinking of you' from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Curator CMS493 onto craft card, cut this to size and stapled it on with my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.
Finally I glued this all down to my main craft card backing, measuring almost 6x6 inch, and here it is - Autumn Richness at it's best, when the leaves are just starting to turn.
I hope you like my card and will try this out for yourself, and also be inspired to join in the challenge on CountryView Crafts and Challenges on Facebook.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day.
