Now, here's my card
This is Brocade Borders, Brocade Background & Light. (oops! Light was released last month! See what happens when I get in a hurry!! Some of the other girls will have this month's set from the Full of Grace collection!) I stamped the background with Black Soot Distress ink on white cs, embossed with clear powder then sponged Barn Door Distress ink over it. The next layer, I stamped the background with Barn Door on white cs then sponged just a little around the edges. The Brocade Border is also embossed then colored with a Copic. I trimmed around the Labels One on each piece, that way I could cut a black layer using the same size die and have about a 1/8in mat. Barn Door was also sponged around the edges.
It's also the Sketch Challenge today on Splitcoast.
Here's another...
I had this idea while working last week
at Our Daily Bread designs.
