Hi, Friends.....
I am here with a card I made for the current MFP Stamp Shop Challenge where they ask us to use shades of tan. It was fun pulling out all my brown family scraps to see what I could come up with.
Since it is a MFP challenge, I used one of my favorite sets from them, their Christmas Wishes stamp set. I stamped the Faith, Hope, Love sentiment with Versamark Ink, heat embossed with clear powder, and sponged around the words with Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy for an emboss resist.
My background is dry de-bossed (for cracked look, instead of a ridged look) with my Darice - Crackle folder that I inked with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain first. The pearl centers of some of my flowers were white, so I colored them with a Spectrum Noir marker to make them tan.
Other supplies used include:
Sizzix - Fancy Labels die set
WRMK Crop-a-Dile Corner Chomper
Prima and Petaloo flowers
Tan grosgrain and cream sheer ribbons from my stash
Hope you enjoyed my card today. The tan color makes me think of autumn. I have had enough of 90 degree heat. I'm ready!! No, wait, I don't have any tomatoes, yet. Okay....I'll wait. :)
Thank you for stopping by!!!

ReplyDeleteI love your crackle background on your card! Just gorgeous! The sentiment is so sweet too! Thanks for playing along with us at DL.ART JULY LINKY CHALLENGE!
ReplyDeleteThis card is really lovely! It has such a vibrancy about it because of the gorgeous color palette you chose, yet it is also soothing and sophisticated. You hit the balance right on and I love the way that the sentiment just sort of magically emerges from the lovely yellow background. Excellent work and thank you so much for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, the vintage tones work so well with your debossed background which in itself adds wonderful texture to your design, lovely flowers too. Lovely sentiment. Thanks so much for joining in my monochromatic challenge over at A Vintage Journey. Tracy x
