This card was based quite heavily on a card I saw at the show on the Snazzy Stamping stall using this stamp set. It was what convinced me to buy it!!!
It''s from a new stamp company to me - Chapel Road Art Stamps. It's a Canadian company and they have some lovely collage style stamps and background stamps.
So, to create the card, the twig image, from the Tea Collage stamp set was stamped directly onto the card blank using Memento Rich Cocoa dye ink.
Using the same inkpad, the Tea Collage image from the same stamp set, was stamped onto the same white cardstock as the card blank, trimmed and distressed around the edges using Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass distress inks, applied with a shaving brush. This was then matted onto dark brown linen cardstock and matted onto the card blank.
A length of the light blue grosgrain ribbon from Dovecraft was cut and fishtails added to each end. This was added across the bottom of the card.
The sentiment was computer generated using Calibri and Callie Hand fonts and distressed with the Tumbled Glass ink. This was then matted onto the brown cardstock and adhered over the ribbon.
The inside was also decorated using the twig image, stamped with second-generation Rich Cocoa ink. The sentiment, from the Papermania Mix and Match Scrolls and Sentiments stamp set, was then stamped in the centre also using the Rich Cocoa ink. The panel was then distressed with the Tumbled Glass ink with a shaving brush.
Here are the challenges I am entering this card into:
- Pals Paper Arts - #102 - Picture Inspiration (Blue and Brown)
- Opus Gluei - #109 - Anything To Beat The Heat (Cup of Tea!)
