This will be short today. Just wanted to enter the Just Us Girls Challenge. This week we are to use brown, white or ivory and one other color. Here is my card:
So kraft is brown, right? I chose Ocean Mist as my other color. I just love this combination. I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder after I had stamped the text background with Memento Desert Sand Ink and one of the stamps from Flourishes Wild Roses. I think I won that Flourishes set from my dear friend Sharyn Polesel when she had some blog candy up for grabs. Thanks, Sharyn!!! In retrospect I think I would have used GKD Kraft Ink instead. It would have shown up better. Anyway, then I colored the image with Distress Markers. Love the look of the white line art and then the color on kraft. Finished it off with some white Enamel Accents for the little dots. That's supposed to be a heart next to the greeting, but it's wonky. It's the way the stamp is.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Ocean Mist, White and Kraft Card Stock
Memento Desert Sand Ink
VersaMark Ink
GKD Charcoal Brown Ink
GKD White Embossing Powder
Flourishes Wild Roses Stamp Set
Ranger Enamel Accents
Distress Markers
Stash Rhinestones and Ribbon
So that's it for me, thanks for stopping by. I adore your comments. And head on over to Just Us Girls and check out the challenge. The designers are super talented!!
