The next challenge I have done is an Ombre Resist. We were too emboss a background and the swipe an ink pad across the middle and taking a baby wipe, using small circles go from the center to the ends blending the inks, I was going for a vintage feel with mine, still not sure what I think about it, that is why no sentiment, not really sure what kind of card this should be. I cut some wildflowers from kraft cardstock and added some ink to them with marker and little blending foam. Wrapped them all in some jute.
- Distress ink - Gathered Twigs
- Fun Stampers Journey - Lace Background stamp w/ clear embossing powder
- Tim Holtz - Wildflower stems #2
- Jute
Thanks for stopping by,

ReplyDeletei am happy you are feeling better, but don't push yourself. i did that and i ended up feeling worse a day or two later and then i understood i was not ready for a normal schedule!!
ReplyDeletethis card is so pretty and the technique you used is very interesting!! i have no suggestions on how to use it, maybe "thinking of you" or a "sympathy". there, i do have a suggestion!!
What a wonderful background, I love a grunge look even though it is not really grunge, it is wonderful and with the added twine and flowers, I love it..
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling a bit better..

So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you're feeling better! I love this card - but I adore things that look vintage and this exactly does. I think it'd be lovely as a bday or anniversary card. ;) Blessings. xo

Love that background, it's subtle yet gorgeous! The addition to the wildflowers and sprigs is perfect. I adore this color pallet. Perhaps a Sympathy card--but I don't want you to need one! Glad you are both on the mend!
ReplyDeleteGosh, that's a beautiful embossed background and I love the vintage look. An interesting technique which I may have to try. You can be confident that this card is gorgeous. I'm glad you're both feeling better. Rich and I came down sick with head and chest cold. Don't know if it's Covid as we haven't been tested. Our kits expired and pharmacy was out. Rich is recovering quite well, even with his COPD. I'm on the mend, too, but this cough is pretty bad. We're staying away from people so we don't spread it.
ReplyDeletePleased that you are both feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI think Covid does take a few weeks to fully recover and get your energy levels back.
All the best Jan
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous background!
