Today’s card was created in two sittings; in the first I stamped and colored my image, and in the second, I put it all together. You can click on the image for a closer look.
I used Stampin’ Up! Blue Bayou card stock for the base of this card. The torn-edge brown mat is Bazzill Basics; the 'Bird Eggs' image was stamped on my favorite white card stock, Xerox 110#… also torn.
I colored the stamped image using Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol (OMS), blending with a stump. I mounted the image on the brown mat using dimensionals.
Using a distressing tool, I distressed the top and side edges of both the white and the brown card stock. I love my pink Heidi Swapp paper distresser and use it often; if you don’t have one, you need one! And they’re really inexpensive; I bought mine on ebay for 1.19!
Using my Crop-a-Dile, I set three eyelets and tied some embroidery floss through the openings, knotting the ends on the front.
Overall, I’m pleased with this all-occasion card so I’ll package it up in a see-thru envie and stick it in my card stash. I’m thinkin’ that this image can be used for Spring, Easter, birthday, or thinking about you, cards. Maybe not so much for a 'Congrats, You’re Expecting' card though …
