My first Challenge Card and it’s a Top 3 Pick…I’m excited!
So this is my first Challenge Card with createwithconnieandmary.com The color challenge was Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede. Using those ink colors and the Vintage Leaves set, I stamped on watercolor paper, used my Aqua Painter and inks to fill in the leaves. I stamped tone on tone for the three leaves and cut out with Leaflets Framelits Dies and my Big Shot. These were attached to the watercolor paper using dimensionals. I distressed the edge of the water color paper with Mossy Meadow and I distressed the three loose leaves with Soft Suede using a sponge dauber. The Mossy Meadow mat was put through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain embossing folder. Metallic Baker’s twine was wrapped around the Mossy Meadow card stock and tied in a knot. The base was attached to the Hello Honey card base with Fast Fuse. The Thanks is from Expressions Natural Elements and the acorn is from Into the Woods Elements. The card base is Hello Honey.
Thanks-a-mundo for the blog. Want more.
Thank you!
I just want to say I am beginner to blogging and truly enjoyed this web blog. Very likely I’m going to bookmark your blog . You amazingly have beneficial well written articles. Thanks for sharing with us your web site.
Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time choosing to go with BlogEngine.
WordPress, my husband is helping me. I’m going to update the Blog soon.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
Thank you, I’m just starting out and trying to get a better handle on doing a blog.
Carole, I love your choice of colors.
I ordered this set of stamps and dies in Sept. and have really enjoyed using them.
I even made some manly birthday cards to put in my stash.
Carole dumb question I am new at this. What do you mean by stamping tone on tone. The aqua painter was used with the water color paper and you colored it.
Thanks for your help.

Tone on tone is using the same ink color as the paper choice.
