Crop Stop Challenge Blog put up a great sketch by Gloria and I decided to play along this month. This was a totally fun card, because I made it just for fun and played with different techniques to get this look. It came out nothing like what I imagined when I started it and I love way it came out.
The challenge was to use this sketch template.
I used Tim Holtz Kraft Resist Paper Stash and Papertrey Ink cardstock for my card base. Spellbinders Grand Label 1 was used to create my card shape. I used Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink on the Kraft resist paper. I also used some yummy stamps from The Rubber Café called Vintage Treasures.
I used Sparkle and Sprinkle EP (some of my fav EP and glitters) on some grungeboard for my main element. I tried to get creative and used two different colors so that the center phrase was more prominent. I then inked up the grungeboard with a little Blue Jeans and Sapphire Distress Inks. Topped this with a 7 Gypsies Transparency ATC card wrapped with twine from The Twinery.
Used Helmar 450 and Helmar ScrapDots to put it all together with some Ideology parts and a scrap of denim. Since I’ve learned to use the ScrapDots last on my project and let it dry, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dimension I can get. And it will hold some heavy stuff!
Thanks for stopping by today.
