I'm so happy to be back in my stampin' room, even as whooped as I am tonight. This is for the Inspiration Challenge featuring the website Creative Wallcovering. Thanks for hosting, Anne!
Yowsa! I'll definitely be back to play some more tomorrow, but my quick card is here to launch my weekend stamping.
As always, I went straight to my stash of textured paper to see what I could see. In the end, I ditched that idea and I went to peruse my stash of wallpaper sample books. The design I selected ended up getting flipped to the backside to show just the texture of it.
I stamped watercolor paper with the image and again on tissue paper. I crumpled the tissue paper and overlayed a small piece of it over of the original stamped image for depth. The metal rimmed vellum tag reads "thinking of you" and is much more vivid IRL.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot! I used a way cool tool sent to my by the one and only Ms. Anne of Ryan ... it pierces your paper by running it through the groove of your Score-Pal. Love it, Anne! Thank you! It may not show up in the photo, but I used it around the edges of the main image panel.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
