I don't have much time this week to stamp so I'm trying to do a challenge to get my mojo working quickly. I apologize, but I do not know where I got this sketch -- it doesn't actually say on the sketch I printed. However, I knew this would be an easy card and it was. I love to rip paper!
I started with an Always Artichoke base card. This one opens from the bottom -- I like to change my cards up often! I cut a layer of the leaf DSP from the Autumn Traditions Paper Pack and folded back the upper right hand corner. I adhered this to a piece of More Mustard that I had ripped down the right edge. I rolled the edges with my fingers to give them more dimension.
Next, I used a Kraft Corduroy Button and rolled it around on my Ruby Red ink pad. I placed this through the folded corner but it looked bare. I found one sentiment stamp small enough to work on this card and it was from Teeny Tiny Messages. I stamped it in Ruby Red along the folded edge.
I colored the Pheasant from Autumn Days with my markers (Ruby Red, Soft Suede, Elegant Eggplant and More Mustard) and softened my edges with the fabulous Champagne Shimmer Mist Paint on a sponge dauber. Once stamped, I cut this out and adhered it to my page with dimensionals. As you may know, it is very difficult for me to make a card that doesn't have dimensionals somewhere!
Here is the inside of the card (click to enlarge). I used Falling Leaves for the sentiment and stamped it in Always Artichoke. Normally, I would have used a Very Vanilla card for the inside but I figured that More Mustard will work as well and is light enough for me to write on.
I used pieces of both stamp sets to decorate the inside in More Mustard and Ruby Red.
That is all I have today. I had to iron yesterday and was determined to get it all done so I can stamp like a mad woman when I get home from work today! Thursday is statement day at work and I'm a one woman office -- I have to post and balance the work from September 30, balance the month and then print statements, do reports for Thom and then I can stamp -- but that is Thursday so Wednesday is the day I hope to get some new things done.
Have an awesome day! Thanks for stopping!
