Goodness, I am so behind on my blogging. The inspiration for this card came from the Less Is More challenge....way back in JANUARY.
So bad. :-o
Anyway, Laney on Laney's Place blog used a color combination I had never thought of before--Scattered Straw and Tea Dye. I LOVED it on her card and wanted to try it out.
I gently rubbed the Scattered Straw Distress Ink on a leftover piece of cardblank. (That's what the odd line on the left side of the panel is all about--I just cut the cardblank up and started playing around!) I kept the ink kind of mottled and then heavily inked the edges.
I stamped the butterfly in Tea Dye, which totally changes the color of that ink--it becomes more rusty orange than tea-colored.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Tea Dye too and adhered the butterfly panel on the left side of the cardblank.
Supplies:
Paper: Recollections (ivory cardblanks)
Stamps: Stampin Up (birthday stamp); Michael's Dollar Bin (butterfly)
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Scattered Straw and Tea Dye)
ETC: Glue Glider Pro
Tuesday I saw this young Bald Eagle in a tree in MY FRONT YARD! For a youngin' he was HUGE!! Check out the BEAK!! WHOA.
