Hi All
Our challenge this week at Inkspirational has been chosen by our very own team mate Shauna. Shauna has challenged us to use at least 3 of the following when creating our cards:
Distressing
Flowers
Embossing
Pearls.
Here is what I came up with:
I have gone with:
Distressing the edges of my centre card stock have been cut with a distressing tool and then sponged with distress ink
Embossing-I have used my linen embossing folder on the centre card stock
Flowers-this was the hardest part of this card as I knew I wanted to make this for my Uncle. I decided to hunt through my stamps until I found a flower I could use that didn't make the card feminine in any way. I think I made this challenge more challenging than it needed to be but I was not going to give up on my idea! Eventually I found a grunge washi tape stamp by STAMPlorations that has flowers amongst leaves and text-I did it!
Now it is your turn. I am looking forward to seeing what you create.
Very fun and creative! Great with a vintage/distressed/CAS look, your uncle will love this!
ReplyDeleteLove this...the gold embossing is stunning and the sentiment is perfect.
ReplyDeleteScrumptious Sandie and so clever.
ReplyDeleteYou rock these colours too! I've a sneaky suspicion I may have something to enter very soon!!! :-) Sarah x
Wow, Sandie ... you've taken all those elements (that would scare me silly!) and made the most amazing CAS card ... so clever! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSandie, what a fabulous way to use these elements for a masculine card! Clever, handsome, amazing....your uncle will love this!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Yes, you probably did this a lot more complicated than what you needed, but hooray for being able to make it masculine and vintage and at the same time keeping it CAS!! It's something I'm sure I wouldn't be able to pull off.
ReplyDeleteIt worked; it is a beautiful card for a guy! Think this challenge is a hard one, but you managed so perfectly to keep it so simple! Enjoy the sunday!
ReplyDeleteLove this Sandie! I really like your distressed edges and the stamp you used for your flower element is awesome. Your uncle will love it I'm sure. :-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing you managed to keep cas on a challenge such as this! And beautifully done, especially the distressed edges.
ReplyDeleteYou really challenge the challenge
