Can you believe it?!?!? I made a card!!!! It only took me all day!! LOL!!! The layout is based on Tuesday's sketch challenge at Jacksonbelle. Here is the sketch in case you would like to play along ~
If you do decide to play along, upload to SCS and use the keyword JBE053!!! Also, Lindsey JUST received Martha Stewart punches and will be posting them in the store today!!! Fun stuff!!! Here is my card ~
I always need masculine cards and this Stampscapes image is one of my favorites! The base of this card is Going Gray with a mat of Basic Black and then decorative paper from Basic Grey's Granola Collection. The next mat up is watercolor paper and then Going Gray which I pierced using THIS Pierceabilities die. The sentiment, from Verve's Wonderful Wishes set, was stamped on watercolor paper using Basic Black ink, cut using THIS Nestabilities die, sponged with Going Gray ink before taking the die off and then I added THESE Basic Grey rhinestones! The Stampscapes image was stamped on watercolor paper using Basic Black ink and then I used reinkers to watercolor the image. The image was then cut out using my oval Nesties, matted with Going Gray and then a scallop of Soft Sky card stock. I added Butter Cream Shimmerz to the water and sponged the edges of the oval with Going Gray ink.
Need some inspiration? Check out what the girls did with this challenge here ~
I also wanted to mention, in case you are interested, Serendipity Stamps is having a design team call! You can find all the details HERE!
Have a great day!
