Hey everyone! Just popping in to share a card with you. I was hoping to link up to some challenges before they close. Once again I'm cutting it close with the cut off times. Anyway, it's been a creative day today. I worked on my son's Star Wars mural, which is coming along nicely. I got in some card making too. Anyway, here's my card....
I stamped my flourishes (Paper Smooches: Curls and Swirls set) with versamark ink and embossed them in white. Then I did a wash of Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves Distress ink. I took the same ink colours and inked up my flourishes again and stamped over top. I wiped off the excess ink keeping the white embossing bright. I cut my panel on an angle as well as two colours of purple cardstock and attached them to my white card base. I stamped the sentiment (Paper Smooches: a portion of a sentiment from Calorie Wise set) in black several times. Using a metallic purple gel pen I coloured in one of the hearts.
Well, I hope you enjoyed your visit. Have a good night and thanks for dropping by!
I'd like to link up to the following challenges:
Less is More - Purple
Paper Smooches - Layers. I've got layers of paper and stamping.
