Recipe
Our Daily Bread Designs Sentiment - Rubber stamp "Keep Climbing"
Creative Expressions - Rubber stamp "Scenic View"
Creative Expressions die - Auverne
Die'sire Embossalicious folder - Argyle
Oak leaf and maple leaf punches
Green pearlescent card from stash
Base card is a 5" x 7" tent fold card made from Papermania card stock. I used the letter press technique with the embossing folder and Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy ink pad. I used the same ink to stamp the image and sentiment and then die cut it with Sue Wilson's Auverne die from the French collection. I really like the monochrome look of this card. I still struggle with male cards but I'm happy with this one.
Hope you are all keeping well.
Morning Christine,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, so love the scenic image, so beautiful as is the sentiment that goes with it, this would be great for a graduation card as well as other occasions.
Loved your last post of the Christmas card how beautiful was that? Loved it.
Love & Hugs
