Don't forget about my blog candy giveaway here......
WOW...... I'll post the winner on Saturday.
Well, we thought Spring was here in sunny California, but a big storm came in this weekend and we're expected freezing record weather by Thursday. What the heck???
Feeling the Spring, I pulled out my brighter colors and created this birthday card for a friend.
I'm using some Suzy West WOW embossing powder in Opaque Blue Azure and a WOW clear stamp. I loved this stamp. it reminded me of vintage wall paper and when I stamped in on the cardstock, the texture made it look even more like wallpaper.
My mom had this kind of flocked wall paper in RED in our kitchen when I was growing up. I blended in Distress Inks in Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge to give it a weathered looked and really liked it with the blue.
If you click the pic, you'll be able to see how nice the embossing powder creates the texture. I also used my Want2Scrap bling. Did you know you can change the color of the bling with distress inks and alcohol inks? The celebrate word came from Teresa Collins' Giving Thanks line. I love those transparencies!
This is the inside of the card and you can see where I just ran my distress ink over the clear stones and made it coppery. Likin' that look.
I'm hooking up with
Sugar Creek Hollow's Challenge and
Cowgirl Up Challenge this week.
