I have two cards to share with you today! The first uses the Delicate Daisy set! I stamped the daisy on some Tim Holtz grunge paper and sponged it with some scattered straw and spiced marmalade distress ink. The layer of so saffron card stock behind the flower has been distressed with both spiced marmalade and walnut stain distress inks. The base panel has been doubled bugged (where I used to different embossing folder, and inked them with some walnut stain distress ink).
To finish off the card, I added some antique brass brads, and the sentiment accented with the circle image in this set!
My second card uses the Dandelions set. I stamped the image in walnut stain distress ink and then sponged the panel with shabby shutters and mustard seed distress inks. I then stamped the frame image on some Tim Holtz Grungebord inked with peeled paint and brushed corduroy distress inks. Once I framed the image I then added some range glossy accents over the image to give a look as if it behind glass.
To finish off the card, I paired it with some Basic Grey Origins DP, brown twill ribbon, scattered straw distress stickles in the center of the flower, and yellow gems.
