Hi everyone! Hope you’ve had a great week and you’re having wonderful spring-like weather where you are! I’m happy to say that I’m once again a guestie over at Scrapping4fun Challenges! Another one of my cards was chosen as a Featured Creation a few weeks ago, so here I am! I’m absolutely thrilled to share my inspiration Challenge #90 – Ladies!
I created a very feminine shabby chic Christmas card featuring both tool and ink distressing, smeared grit paste and watered-down Gesso splatters on the front, and stamping on the inside. I had a great time with this!
All the elements were distressed with tool first and then ink, and then randomly layered on the background.
I smeared small amounts of grit paste and splattered watered-down Gesso on the front when I had all the pieces in place.
I kept the inside fairly simple with a stamped sentiment on a layered panel.
I’d love to enter this card into the following challenges:
