It Ain't Easy Being Green....

...unless you're a frog of course! Or a funky card! =D

I rather like this one. It's totally weird, yet artsy at the same time! I used the drywall tape again. I doused it with Distress Stain to get that lovely brown.

The yellow-ish line under the sentiment is actually caused by the glue used to hold the end of the tape to the roll. The glue acted like a resist. I rather like that part too!

I used the Distress Stain as ink on the rubber stamp as well. That came out kind of watercolor-y. Very cool. Then I also used the Stain to distress the edges. WHO KNEW?? Distress Stains are AWESOME. I can't wait to grab the latest colors!


Supplies:
Paper: The Paper Studio (kraft cardblank); Bazzill (green cardstock); Graphic 45 (The Magic of Oz collection: Parcel Post)
Stamp: Stampabilities (sentiment)
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Stain (Vintage Photo)
ETC: Drywall tape; Glue Glider Pro


Thanks so much for stopping by today!

The drywall tape is a perfect accent strip for your card. The colors you chose work wonderfully together.
