I am happy to get some time in my crafty space before the weekend. Of course College Football starts this weekend, so Saturday there will be no crafting.
This card is going to Addicted to Stamps and More. I loved the mood board and I had the perfect stamp, and the perfect recipient for this card. The stamp set is from Close to My Heart - Treasured Friendship.
I started the card with a blank panel. I added Distress Inks with a blender sponge in Antique Linnen, and Tumbled Glass. The shell and sentiment were stamped with Hero Arts Soft Graphite ink. I colored the shell, and did not like how it turned out, so it was an opportunity to give more texture to the card by recoloring the shell and gluing it down over the original stamping. I found a card base with a similar blue tone to the shell. I trimmed the panel and mounted it to the base. Lastly I added a few dots with gray copic markers around the shell. The stamp comes with a few dots I just added more.
Can you see which of the panels inspired me? Thanks for visiting.
