Thanks, Stef, for the great challenge...the Skeen online store is awesome!!! I decided to do something waaaaaay out of my comfort zone tonight...use browns and black!!! This is the candle I chose to draw my inspiration from. The background was done first by stamping the Clear Dollar Stamps Picket Fence with Versamark and embossing with clear ep. Then the color was applied to the background by smearing Ranger Distress inks Walnut Stain and Frayed Burlap on a craft sheet, misting with water, and running the white cardstock through the watered down colors. I then misted it with a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water and dried it with a heat tool. The CDS's Song Bird Silhouettes and branches were stamped with Archival Jet Black and embossed with clear ep. The branches from the CDS's Silhouette Wishes set and the script stamp from CDS's March Flower of the Month set were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. The sentiment from CDS's Elegant Flourishes set was stamped with Archival Jet Black and embossed with clear ep.
The brown crocheted blossom and the button with twine threaded through the holes finished it off. This is also for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge to thread something and the DDC challenge from 2 weeks ago (I'm just a little late!!) hosted by Beverly (beestamper) to make a one layer card with one *bump*. You can still join in the DDC challenge because there is no time limit...just add DDC to the keywords section of the upload so we can find your cards!! TFL and have a wonderful night!!!
