Hi All! I hope you are all enjoying your summer and are getting great weather. Here is Nova Scotia we can already feel the change in weather as the evenings are cooler and the forecasts seem to be more unpredictable. Personally, my favorite season is Fall and wish that it could be Fall all year! I love the nice days and crisp evenings while enjoying the beautiful colours of changing leaves and the gathering of Fall harvests here in the valley.
I am stopping in today to share a card I made earlier this month!(sorry for being a stranger) This card was made for the challenge over on the
Inspiration Emporium Blog. I made a card with a travel theme which would be perfect to send to someone you traveled with. Sending a photo from your travels with a little note will sure to bring a smile to their face remembering the adventure.
I started the card by embossing a piece of patterned paper and because it was larger that the embossing folder I turned it so I could get the overall look I was going for. Using a blending tool I made the embossed area pop even more by adding walnut stain and peacock feathers distress inks.Various remnant rubs finish off the background piece. The globe was stamped with black archival ink on watercolour paper to prevent it from bleeding when water is added. I can't say enough how much I love playing with my distress markers because they truly are so fun. Having them dual tipped really adds to their versatility. The image was added with foam squares to the background to give it some lift and dimension. One of new word bands released this summer was added with jute as a finishing touch. I love how this card came together and I hope you do as well.
Items used: kraft core cardstock, watercolour paper, destinations paper stash, remnant rubs, jute, observation word bands, travel blueprint cms148 stamp set, distress markers, distress inks, blending tool, watercolour detail brush, foam squares
