Time for a new challenge at Words 2 Scrap By. We have a great theme--The Earth Has Music--in honor of Earth Day & Arbor Day. I used images & a sentiment from Penny Black's "every happiness." I began the background by adding some Gesso to kraft cardstock before partially stamping PB's music background in VersaMagic Gingerbread. I added Distress Stains tarnished brass & antiqued bronze to the PB leaves I had die cut from green cardstock scraps. They were glued to the panel with Perfect Paper Adhesive, which I highly recommend. After it dried I embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder & swiped on the same Distress Stains. The image panels were stamped in PTI New Leaf on Kraft, trimmed out & swiped with the stains. I colored some hemp with the stains & thread it through the sentiment block (stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia) which I mounted with 2 layers of foam tape. 1 layer of foam tape was used for the image blocks & the panel was attached to a kraft card. I'd love to see you join in the challenge which ends April 21. For more inspiration & details about our great prize, go to the W2SB Blog. You won't be disappointed--my teamies made wonderful cards. Since I used some scraps I'm entering at Pixies Snippets Playground. Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog.
I am in awe of this card. First, I didn't know you could use Gesso on card stock. I thought it was only for canvas. Second, I kept clicking on the card for every new technique you used to see it up close. What a stunning card this is. I love the look that the stain gives too. Great card.
Oh, my goodness! What amazing texture and color for this stunning card, Greta! I had to take a close look, too! It is so eye appealing and interesting...love it!:-)
