Hello and welcome. We are making "masculine" cards this week at The Watercooler Wednesday and this is my design team card. I was in need of some masculine get well cards and came up with this idea.
I started by stamp block inking, but I used a minimal amount of water to get this speckled look. I made a similar background (same ink color but more water here). I trimmed the panel down and then inked the edges with the same ink as the background to give the panel a bit more definition. I added a sentiment and then stamped, Copic colored and die cut the plant and snail and attached with foam tape. I like how the card turned out.
Supplies Used:
Altenew Garden Grow
Papertrey Get Well Soon Sentiemnt
acrylic block to stamp the background
Altenew Sand Dunes Crisp Die Ink for background and edges
Copic Markers
Neenah cardstock
Foam tape
I am playing along at:
Thanks for stopping by!

Great card Karen, love that background - I always use too much water.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting way to create a background. I've never tried that before. (I followed your link to the other card - also stunning!)
ReplyDeleteI like the ink color you chose. It looks like dirt that spilled when the plant was re-potted. The snail is an adorable touch!
