A challenge
Today I made some time for me to just have a play! I recently received some new stamping goodies for my b’day…and I have been itching to ink them up. I also wanted to play along with a challenge – and the CASology Leaf Week #14 challenge caught my eye.
I don’t usually stamp images with distress inks (I usually prefer a more crisp stamped image), but I was just playing and came up with this and I quite liked the result for something different. I thought the distressed stamping added some nice detail to the leaves. I have used two of my new Paper Smooches sets – Reflections and Sentiment Sampler.
Supplies
Ink: VersaFine – Onyx Black, Distress Inks – Picked Raspberry and Mowed Lawn
Card: AnnaBelle Stamps Smooth White cardstock
Other Supplies: Spellbinders Circle Nesties, Cuttlebug, Spellbinder tan rubber mat
I appreciate you stopping by,
Really like how the ink’s worked on the image and the circles are so effective. Love it! Anita in France
This is really, really cool, Marion! I don’t think to use DI for images, either, so this is now pinned for future inspiration. Thank you!!
Hi Marion! This is so simple, but so bright and cheery at the same time. I love the impact of the embossing with the die. I do hope that some of your stately simplicity rubs off on me. LOL =D
Such a sweet card! These colours look fantastic Marion… I’ve been trying *not* to buy them… but maybe I really do *need* them lol!
Love the image… I find the distressed inks do not stamp a crisp image too but this technique looks great on your card.
beautiful card… love the impact of the bright colors you used and the embossed circle. thanks for playing along with CASology!
