Happy World Cardmaking Day!!! Who knew there was a day set aside especially for us cardmaking junkies? I feel so honored.
Here is one of cards I made to celebrate:
The background is a special technique I just learned from Gina over at Gina K Designs. To see how it's done, click HERE. Using several different inks, an embossing folder and a scoring tool we can get the look of old hand carved wood. I think it's really cool. I stamped the leaves and fussy cut them, and punched that cute little dragonfly out of copper card stock.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Tomato Soup and Ivory Card Stock
GKD Fall Foliage Stamp Set
GKD Sunkist Autumn Stamp Set for Greeting
GKD Inks In:
*Charcoal Brown
*Kraft
*Ivory Pigment
*Tomato Soup
*Prickly Pear

ReplyDeleteI love it when Gina did it and I love yours too. I am going to have to give this a try. I am having a hard time catching up on the comments on your cards. You are producing them as fast as Donna. Well, almost.
ReplyDeleteSince this is one of my favorite techniques, I am going to take it out for a spin this afternoon. The leaf embossing folder is perfect for this card. Great colors and sentiment.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love the beautiful leaves, sentiment and especially the carved wood background. Just added that technique to my "give it a try" list.
