Hard to believe January is drawing to a close as I finally get around to stamping for the first time this year! After all of the chaos of the Christmas season, I wasn't feeling the least bit inspired to stamp. It's a wicked day here in Manitoba, with blizzard conditions, so it's a good day to stay inside and do a little crafting. I decided to start with a really simple card for the current Fusion challenge. I decided to work with just the photo, using the rustic wood background, and the yellow and gray palette.
I started by stamping a woodgrain background on PTI soft stone cardstock with smoky slate ink from SU, then pulled out meadow greens, one of my fave sets from PTI. I die cut pieces from vellum, and stamped the foliage with a combination of smoky slate, and PTIs smokey shadow inks, and embossed the flowers with mustard Zing powder. A simple sentiment in smokey shadow finishes it off.Time to chase my husband out of his cave and get working on setting up our new Pax wardrobes in our walk-in closet.
Thanks for stopping by,
