Today I have a card to share that I made especially for a birthday bash going on at a fellow STAMPlorations teammate's blog. She's got a fun challenge going on and I wanted to participate. This week, Becca, from The Damsel of Distressed Cards blog is celebrating her birthday! She has a mood board to draw inspiration from and a list of things she'd like you to use as a guideline.
Guidelines:
So, I came up with a card that I think she'll like. I've shown the inside of the card as well. Check it out...
I first stamped my maple leaf (Clearly Besotted) using spiced marmalade, broken china, and dusty concord Distress inks that I randomly applied to my stamp and then lightly spritzed with water. Then I stamped my script stamp (Stampabilities) with walnut stain Distress ink that I spritzed with water and rubbed off a bit here and there. Next, I sponged a bit of spiced marmalade ink around my leaves. I then stamped my sentiment (CAS-ual Fridays) in the walnut stain ink. I tied some twine around my panel then attached it to my card base with foam dots. The inside sentiment is by STAMPlorations and the leaf was stamped the same way as the others. It's got the purple and teal colours Becca likes and some typography too. A little distressed looking too. :-)
Well, Happy Birthday Becca! Hope you like the card. That's all for me today. Thanks for visiting!
