A big congrats to Kim, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS
to case. I used the same scripture & a similar woodgrain bg, but I changed the layout & colors. This is also for Lydia's Finish Line HYCCT1531C Challenge. I used a couple of dk gray Copics to draw the horizontal & vertical crossing lines in the lower left corner.
For my card, I stamped the woodgrain bg across the back panel w/ weathered wood then sponged on more of the same ink. It was sprayed w/ a mix I made of watered down white wash acrylic paint. The water can image was stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics, then overstamped with black soot distress ink & the scripture added. I used only 1 line of a 3 grid border die for the little squares then backed it w/ the textured paper I tore off the upper corner. It was sponged & I also used the soot ink pad to drag the black ink across it.
Congrats again, Kim! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I just can't figure out why I like this card so much. Maybe the soft pleasing colour, or the square die cut borders with a background that echoes the torn edge, or the beautifully coloured vase with reeds. Aw shucks, I just love this card!

Boy, Jullie, this card is awesome. I love the woodgrain bg, and the image and edging are terrific! Your layout is inspired by Kim's, but you took it to another level. WOW!

This is lovely Julie! I especially love the torn edges. We used to use this technique lots years ago and you have inspired me to use it again. Gorgeous!
