I made this card for the new CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge. I struggled with the sketch a bit until it dawned on me to think of the vertical rows as an alternative to the interpretation. I started by clear embossing the Barnwood Background stamp - new from Concord and 9th - on Ranger watercolor CS. I then did a watercolor wash over it using Evergreen Bough and Cracked Pistachio distress inks. I love the way these two colors blend together! I had trouble capturing the embossed shine in my photo but it's there IRL. The sentiment (a freebie with an MFT order) was die cut 4 times - 3 with the Cool Caribbean CS and once with metallic copper CS. I added some fine copper thread (from the new SU catalog) by looping it over a tiny glue dot. I wish this thread were just a wee bit thicker as it's almost too fine to even see well. The stitched frame is part of Reverse Confetti's new All Framed Up die set in their August release (*Oops...I see it's already OOS!). I cut three of the Layering Leaves dies by Concord and 9th from copper CS. I can't wait to play more with this die set...so many possible uses are running through my brain!
