Pam here, starting the week off with the NEW Bramble Surprise rubber stamp. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted it!! I love the whimsical feel of it! I decided on some Copic colorbook therapy with some Distress ink blending for the background.
After I colored the image, I went around the perimeter of the card with Weathered Wood Distress ink first, then I added in Chipped Sapphire, then Dusty Concord and on the very edge a bit of Black Soot. Walnut Stain on the bottom.
Then I sprayed water into the palm of my hand and dropped it onto the inked part, staying away from the moon.
I shook up a bottle of White Linen Dylusions Ink Spray real good, opened it and spattered the white dots on by tapping the cap and letting the ink flick off the end of the tube.
I die cut the letters for the word 'fall' from the Alphabet Soup die. I put scor tape on the back of Memory Box White card-stock before I cut. The letters are really easy to adhere to the card when the tape is already on there. The drawback is, the thicknesss causes the holes in the die, (for poking out the waste) to emboss.
I layered Memory Box Violet Distress Dots Card-stock to a top fold A-2 Memory Box Kraft card base that I embossed with the Memory Box Dots Stencil.
Laura will be posting the winners from last week's Die Blog Blitz later this afternoon.
That's it! Thanks for stopping by today and good luck!
