Morning all! Yes, I have left my inner grunge out again! I started with a piece of
taupe card and crumpled it up. I opened it back up and lightly inked across the wrinkles with a
Tea Dye Distress ink pad. I used my scissors around the edge of the card to distress them, then inked them with
Antique Linen. I attached it to a thin mat of deep burgundy card (from my stash) and curled the corners a bit. Next I glued some cheesecloth across the top of it to add to the distressed look. I cut the
Sumatra die in deep burgundy and taupe card as a base for my focal element. I cut the burgundy one in half and used it as a shadow. I cut the decorative die in the Sumatra in deep burgundy and attached it to the base. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out and added a taupe base layer to it before attaching it in the centre of the die cuts. Next I used the
Succulent Garden die set to create a bunch of flowers. This set looks like succulents when cut out of felt, but looks completely different when cut from card so it is ever so versatile! I shaded some with tea dye, scrunched some and left some plain and cut out of the taupe card for a variety of looks. I attached them cascading around the focal element. I used the twigs from the
Pine Bough die set to add accents. I completed the card with two taupe mats. The finished dimensions are 8" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
