Hi everyone! I had fun with this! If you’ve known me for all the years I’ve been stamping, you know I LOVE brown! haha I stamped and die cut this twice in Hammermill White cardstock thinking I would color it with Copics. I sat down and started coloring one with color pencils! lol I still have the other white one to color with Copics.
I have a deep love for brown…when Ranger came out with Van Dyke Brown all those years ago I bought a few reinkers thinking I’d use it forever! But then Distress Inks and then Gathered Twigs! Gathered Twigs regular Distress is my go to! Do not take my Gathered Twigs away!
I die cut the floral shape, put the waste/frame in the MISTI, lined up the stamp in the hole, put in the die cut, inked up the stamp and stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I used Caran d’Ache Pablo Color Pencils to color but any will work. After coloring I went around the edges with Gathered Twigs and the mini ink blending tool. I just keep this color and this tool handy on my desk all the time!
I embossed the Forevergreen Embossing Folder in TE Cilantro cardstock and inked it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool. I trimmed it down this time so my card would end up A2 size.
I ink blended a natural linen cardbase with Gathered twigs also. Just around the perimeter.
The panel in the center is a die that comes with the set too! Dies for everything in the stamp set! Such an amazing deal!
I lined up the sentiments in the MISTI and inked up the decorative panel…inked it up with GT also!
Glue on the little gold pearls…adhere everything to the cardbase and it’s ready to mail almost! I need to bring back my last year’s resolution to finish the insides…. ugh. haha
