Hello Delightful friends, family and October!! I'll "try" to make this quick because I have my two youngest granddaughters, Addy and Tucker coming over this morning and my crafty stuff needs to be put up because sweet Princess Tucker (age: almost 3) loves (and I mean really loves) markers. Especially on her body, clothes and the walls. She is fascinated by them and the last thing I need is my Copic Markers being applied to our walls! I don't like to discourage creative expression but I have to draw the line (pun intended) when it comes to my walls!
This card will be entered into the following challenges:
Sister Act challenge blog - cards only #26
Creative Corner Challenges - The Great Outdoors
The stamp I've used is a brand new stamp line the lss is now carrying and it has been super popular. The company is Crafty Individuals from England. This stamp is called Summer Meadow and I think it's going to be great for Clean and Simple, Mixed Media and Backgrounds, it's so versatile!!
I've used Memento (Morocco) Ink to give the Summer Meadow an Autumn/October feel. I've sponged around the edges of all the paper with Distress Inks,( Scattered Straw and Vintage Photo). Those same inks were used to customize the seam binding ribbon. The photo doesn't pick up the added bling on the flowers to well, but I've used Stickles (icicles).
The sentiment stamp is Penny Black's Friendship set (front and inside). The rhinestones are Queen & Co. Love how the Distress Inks changed the look of the Designer Paper (My Minds Eye, Lost & Found ) which is really noticeable on the scallop die (Spellbinders). Other dies used are Spellbinders Classic Circles (Nestabilities) and My Favorite Things, Die-Namics Fish Tail Flag Stax. The card stock used is Kraft (Paper Accents) and Neenah to stamp the image.
Here's a peek of the inside.
Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the rest of the week!!
To everything there is a season,

A really superb card, beautiful central stamp and really delicately done... I love it ! Coco x
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card! I can't help but laugh about Tucker and the markers, because my 3 year old grandson recently filled the hall way wall up with as he called it "art." When his dad asked why, he said "you said my art was beautiful so I thought I would make the wall beautiful." So be careful what you say. Too cute!
