Hi friends. Today's card was inspired by Therese Calvird's card over at the Muse challenge blog. I really wanted to copy her card exactly because it is so awesome. I decided to still use stencils and wood pieces on my card though.
I experimented with my wood piece and heat embossed it with Tangerine Tango embossing powder. I wasn't sure if it would work but it did. Yay! The stencil I used is called Stripe Columns by Simon Says Stamp.
I am also going to pop this over at Virginia View's awesome challenge: Stencils.
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
Cardstock: Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Basic black
Ink: Smoky slate, Versamark
Stamps: Admit One (Lawn Fawn)
Accessories: Wood Veneer piece, Tangerine Tango embossing powder, Stripe Columns stencil (SSS), Blueprints 13(MFT), white embossing powder
This is so clean and fresh, Kristie! I love how the subtle stenciled background adding interest to this design! Thanks so much for playing Virginia's View Challenge! Your support means so much to me!

ReplyDeleteThis is spectacular, Kristie!! You should win by a landslide!! And thank you so much for that embossing tip on the wooden embellies!! I knew you could color them with markers, but the ep really looks way cooler! I'm sorry I haven't been around as much. With Easter and company, it will be much the same for a while, but it's all good! Happy Easter to you and your family!! Hugs, Darnell
