Distressed Hello

It's been a busy weekend in Sunny Florida. Getting ready for the end of school. Another milestone...it's time for high school. Where did the time go. My daughter had her eight grade dance Friday night. Next stop,...prom.

Today's card is done using a distressed method. I used a sponge and created the blue paper using island indigo ink. I then stamped the dots in the same color. You can see the difference the sponging makes versus the straight stamping.

I inked the image using my stampin up markers adding different colors where I wanted them to be and stamped it on white paper. I then stamped the image on black using white ink and punched out the letters and added them to the center of the flowers.

I love the color combination of this card. I'm trying to use colors I don't normally use (like the pumpkin pie) and stamps that just seem to sit on the shelf.

Enjoy!

Marvelous - Pumpkin Pie Challenge

Hello everyone!  This is my card for the Weekly Color Challenge.  This weeks color is Pumpkin Pie.  I am definiately not a fan of orange but it goes great with last weeks Old Olive color!  I used my Copic markers to color the flowers and distressed the edges and added a little shading around the edges.

I am almost done with my album for hire and then I can get back to the everyday stamping.  Don't forget May 1st is National Scrapbook Day!  Will you be croppin?
