Evening Chickees!
The football game is on (yay!) so I've been doing my own thing in my rubber room again. Yes, I'm on a 'fall' kick using Distress inks and Perfect Pearls. This time I also incorporated a Stampscapes stamp to see how it would turn out. Next time I'll live on the edge and try stamping a whole scene on something like this!
This card is a little different than the ones I posted this morning. The original background is the same as they were all done at the same time... SUPER fast and easy! It was blotchy using the Distress Inks and foam blender but each one was different so I could stamp whatever in different highlighted areas.
I started by using the Stampscapes oak branch and only stamping with the smaller edge branches. As I stamped each one I immediately dusted on the perfect pearls randomly and dusted off with the larger brush. (Now here's a huge hint! Victoria at Craft Capers told me about using Swiffer dustin cloths. I tried dusting my work and she was right! It picked up all the loose pearl dust!) Then it was stamping one by one around the paper.
Once it was done I stamped the sentiment which is also from Stampscapes. I thought it fit perfectly! I still wasn't satisfied though so took my oak branch again and just touched the tips of the branches onto the paper using Distress Ripe Persimmon. Dusted that with clear embossing powder and these following photos show a close up of how it looks.. a REAL close up haha!
Hope those help to show what I've been trying to tell you! Now here's the recipe:
Stamps: Stampscapes 203G Oak Branch
Sentiment - Stampscapes sheet
Inks: Distress Wild Honey, Walnut, Frayed Burlap, Ripe Persimmon, Seedless Preserves
Perfect Pearls: Biscotti, Mint, Green Patina, Cappuccino
Embossing Powder
Paper: Staples 110 lb. white, Others are unknown from stash but could be Stampin' Up!
Twine: From the greenhouse and dyed here and there with Distress Walnut
Button: Stash
