Hi there, have you ever just wanted to play with new stamps/dies/techniques what ever it is, and have no plan for what you are making, just enjoy the tools you were playing with? That's the story about today's card... just having fun with the process of creating :) One of my goals this year is to step outside my comfort zone, and try new and different styles/techniques of creating. That's hard for me, I've always been so structured with what I make, and never really just let go. This should be an interesting journey :)
I started with Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basic "A" Nestabilities, then cut (no emboss) Vanilla cardstock. With different colors of Glimmer Mist, spritz the inside of the M-Bossabilities folder (whichever side you want). Place your cardstock in the folder, and run it through the Grand Calibur, set it aside and let dry. I used the drybrush technique and Distress Inks to add color, but not to much. I wanted a little more color, so I used Copic Markers over the inks, making sure not to take away from the soft background. I wanted the M-Bossabilities folder to be the focal point of the card, so I didn't want to add to many embellishments, just the sentiment with twine.
My pictures are darker so you can see the beautiful detail of the 3D M-Bossabilities folder.
That's it for today, remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.
Thanks for visiting - Linda ❤❤
