Hi Everyone
An attempt to create a card without the aid of backing papers today. I think I have succeeded.
The background stamp I have used is a Hero Arts stamp that my local craft shop was selling off for £2.00 .. .. .. and it now has the award for the dirtiest looking stamp in my collection. It is clearly something they have been using in their craft classes and although the stamp itself is perfect the wooden block looks horrendous LOL!!
Anyway, this is what I created using my £2 special. It won't take long for this one to pay for itself!!!

and the close up
This used:
Image: Hero Arts "N2091" Mountain Aspen
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Sizzix: "656640" Tattered Florals
Leone Em Pty Punch: "CP30" Ash Branch
Distress Inks: Tea Dye, Wild Honey and Peeled Paint
Glimmer Mist: Antique Brass
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Ribbon from the stash box
I distressed the edges of the sentiment and background with the Peeled Paint distress ink and then stamped my image with the same ink and also Tea Dye. I wish I hadn't stamped the Tea Dye quite so dark now .. .. but never mind .. .. next time I will do it differently.
The Tattered Florals were distressed with Tea Dye and Wild Honey then sprayed them with the Glimmer Mist.
Job done!!!
Catch you again tomorrow.
Love Jules xx
