This style is slightly different from my norm, but something I enjoy doing, and in fact when I started stamping most of my cards were in this sort of style.
All the stamps I have used are B Line from L B Crafts. The main image is called Stand By Me, and the other is Floral corner. I have inked the background with Distress Inks, , and coloured the images with them as well. The background paper is from a box of K & Co papers, with the mount a textured Bazzill on which I have used a Martha Stewart punch along the edge. The leaves are punched with L-Em punches, flowers are Prima with a Basic Grey enamelled brad. Ribbon from stash - I think it came from Craft Fairy as I always stock up with them at shows.
I am entering this card for the following challenges
- One Powerful Hour - 20's style
- Crafty Cardmakers - Distressed
- Theme Thursday - Vintage
- Crafty Ann's Challenge - No. 14, Anything Goes
- Stamp with Fun - No. 57, Friends
