Hi Friends!
I had a chance to create a card this
week using the Artistic Outpost stamp sets, The Captain, Ephemera Backgrounds
and Grunge Elements along with the Vagabond Treasures Collection 6x6 Paper Pad
and the ODBD Custom Dies- Pierced Squares and Lattice Background (all items are
available from Our Daily Bread Designs).
I love participating with online
challenges and incorporated the Sketch Saturday Challenge #461 (using the #401 Sketch) along with the Try It On Tuesday “Transport 04/25” Challenge and the My Time To Craft #344 “Sequins orButtons” Challenge.
If you have not had a chance to check
out the Artistic Outpost blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you
to do so! Inspiration is posted throughout
the week on the AO Blog and the challenge galleries have wonderful samples as
well!
To create this card:
1). Ink the ship image from The Captain with archival black ink and stamp onto vanilla cardstock. Immediately re-ink the same image with
vintage photo distress ink and stamp over the initial image (I used my MISTI®
to align the image).
2). Heat set the ink and then use a
water brush to “watercolor” the distress ink over the image, adding additional
watercolor with rusty hinge and walnut stain distress ink.
3). Die cut and emboss the image with
the ODBD Pierced Squares Dies , mount onto espresso cardstock and trim close to
the edge.
4). Sponge the same distress inks over
the edges, stamp the Ephemera Backgrounds image and the large splatter image
from Grunge Elements with walnut stain distress ink.
5). Die cut and emboss a piece of vanilla
cardstock with the ODBD Lattice Background Die, sponge vintage photo and walnut
stain distress ink over the die cut to “antique” the paper.
6). Layer onto espresso cardstock, add
the dark brown twine strips along with the bow and mount the panel onto the
white card front.
6). Cut the strips for the side from
the Vagabond Treasures Collection 6x6 Paper, mount onto espresso cardstock and
adhere to the card front using dimensional foam.
7). Add the focal image to the card
front with dimensional foam.
8). Add the twine bow to the card
front and mount the button to the center to finish off the card.
Thanks again for taking the time to
stop by and visit- hugs and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
