It's World Cardmaking Day today with lots of great activities around the world and around the web.
I had a chance to get a little inky this morning and made two cards.
I played around with Stampin Ups Inspired by Nature set which was stamped onto a background using some Distress Inks and Hero Arts Large Fabric Design and Friend Definition stamps.
For my second card I played around with distressing and collage-type stamping. I think I went a little overboard with the distressing...
The postcard image is a digi from River City Rubber Works and is called Antique Leaf Postcard. The rest of the images, the Hydrangea, Butterfly and Sentiment are all from Hero Arts.
I hope you get a little inky celebrating World Card Making Day!
Sue, I love them both! Your idea of a silhouette of the coneflowers is wonderful, especially against that gorgeous blue. And no, I don't think you went overboard on the distressing on the 2nd card - I think it's equally perfect! Happy WCMD!
ReplyDeleteI really like the postcard one it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSue - I can't quite get my head around how you did the grading of the friend definition background. It's stunning!
ReplyDeleteAnd the post card is a beauty too -not too much distressing at all.
Happy WCMD to you, Sue! Love both cards! That first one is so beautiful with the pretty blue shades and silhouette stamping. I think the second card is lovely too. Not overboard at all with the distressing - beautiful vintage collage! Hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Nice cards, but I especially LOVE the second one--very vintage and classy!!!!!! Love, love, LOVE it!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThese two cards are GORGEOUS! I don't you went Distress Inks overboard!! Not at all! So perfectly done, Sue!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic, Sue! I especially love the second one with all the layers of stamping and distressing.
ReplyDeleteLooks adorable!
ReplyDeleteHave a look on my blog - hope it's OK with you!?
