After missing last week was especailly keen to join in with
Linda's Compendium of Curiosities weekly challenge. I'm sure you have heard of this challenge before and know we are asked not to share the details of the technique from the book we use. Those can be found on page 60 this week. So having gathered the required ingredients my background was made up, a little subtle and just right for a folksy music themed card.
Various stamps layered up and some di blended round the edge of the card the sentiment stamped and embossed in WOW very fine gold. A little sakura around the words just to help them pop.
The guitar is another little piece of
Tando Chipboard sprayed with the distress mist allowed to dry. Strings etc drawn on and then the same gold ep touched over to give it a bit of wear.
Sometimes you just need a little simple card.
Love the layering of colors on this card! It's beautiful!
