Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Brads are not the pits... We were to make a card with Brad Pitt on it... NOT! LOL! We were to use brads!
However, the title must have confused Speedy the Cat ... This morning I tripped over the Bath Mat!!! He had hidden an Entertainment magazine (Sorry, not Brad, but ANGELINA was on the cover!!!) under the BATH MAT, along with this little lady! I swear, I think he sneaks into my office as soon as the challenge is posted and then chooses my stamps! LOL!
We were to use BRADS as the only embellishment on today's card. We were also to incorporated brads into the stamped image...
So, Lady Liberty was used, as per Speedy the Cat's instructions! The image was stamped in Black onto Very Vanilla and colored with SU! markers. I added brads to the crown/observation deck and then added dots to brads to indicate the lighted windows.
The background was crumpled and sponged with Sage Shadow. Next, I rubbed a Close to Cocoa NEW pad over the crumpled/sponged paper. This achieved an aged copper look.
