It's an early start for me this morning ... it is the last day of my two week break from work and I need to make the most of it!! I had planned to do so much during my time off ... and yet there still seems to be a lot left on the 'to do list'!
I finished these two cards yesterday but ran out of time to share them with you ... another reason for getting up early! The first:
The second
I first stamped three panels with a selection of words. I then die cut the centre of one of the panels using a brick wall die. For the first card I lined up some of the bricks onto the base and adhered some with foam to add dimension. On the second card I lined up the 'mortar' grid from around the bricks an adhered it to the panel. Both panels were then adhered onto a Kraft card.
I used:
STAMPlorations - Blossom Overture, Mixed Media Elements, Hello You, Old Type and Joyful
Distress Inks - Antique Linen, Hickory Smoke, Ground Espresso
Distress Oxide - Broken China
Marianne Design - Brick Wall
I'm entering the following challenges:
Inkspirational Challenge #133
The Male Room Challenge #58 - hopefully a brick wall counts as architecture!!
STAMPlorations
Enjoy!
