For my card this week, I went with soft, muted colors. I also went with a technique that is a little out of the norm for me, using gamsol with my Prismacolor pencils. I also sponged my circle and fancy tag with distress ink before removing them from the dies. I also backed the fancy tag with patterned paper for a little extra color. I finished my card off with a few pearls and a little ribbon. I used this week's The Sweet Stop sketch (SSS124) for the inspiration for my card design.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Recollections, Georgia Pacific
Patterned Paper: Reminisce (In Bloom)
Stamps: Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (Hummingbird, God Is Love)
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink (antique linen)
Embellishments/Tools: Pearls (Kaisercraft), Ribbon (Offray), Prismacolor pencils, gamsol, Nestabilities (circles large & small, fancy tags 3)
