I have always loved the Old Gristmill stamps from Artistic Outpost. As I worked on the technique challenge from
Compendium of Curiosities II, I knew I wanted to use these stamps. All of the stamped images and sentiment come from that stamp set. Our CC II challenge is
Crumpled Kraft Suede from p. 40 of
Tim's book. (This challenge is generously sponsored by the
Funkie Junkie.)
Simon Says Stamp wants to see
autumn leaves.
Kraft Journal's theme is
bangles and bows. The monthly challenge at
Artistic Outpost is
anything goes.
The crumpled kraft sued technique is awesome. To feel the background panel on my card, it is hard to believe that it started off as a piece of kraft paper. Now it feels almost leatherlike. I tried to keep a very rustic feel to the card. All of the framing is done with wood paper. The copper perfect pearls adds zest to the background and leaves. For the bow, I used raffia.
