Okay, I think I have put my card post off long enough! Here is the card that I have for you today!



I have used the new Serenity sheet for this card. I stamped the image in palette black and colored it with copics, I added a bit of Sakura clear gel pen to the waves to give it a really watery look (it is very hard to see in the picture though, but trust me it gives it an awesome look!!) I also stamped the bottom portion of this same image in creamy caramel on the base piece of creamy caramel.

For the bucklez on the side of my card, I started with a mint green buckle, but it really was not the right color I was going for, so I decided to alter it a bit with some copper ranger alcohol ink additive. I sponged the copper all over the buckle to give it a sort of aged copper look. I really like the way it turned out! I then finished off the card with a bit of twill tape connected to the bucklez with a couple of antique brass brads.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for more samples from this month's release! Now, head on over to Sabrina's blog to continue your "Tour"!
