Hello and welcome to Studio 5380.
Thanks for stopping in for a visit today!
I've got a fun card to share with you today. I made a huge mess while working on the background for this card, but I had a lot of fun while making that mess! I actually tossed my first attempt and wasn't sure about the second attempt, but decided to go with it. After putting everything together, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out....
I started with the Blueprints 13 Die Set from My Favorite things to create my cardbase and tag.
Then things got messy. No pictures of the mess because I wanted to get things cleaned up quickly before the embossing paste dried on everything. But, here are the tools I used...
First, I spritzed on a bit of Dylusions Ink Spray in Black Marble. While that dried, I mixed some embossing paste with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. After achieving the color I wanted, I used the My Favorite Things stencil, Snowfall, to add the embossing paste.
You can really see the texture in this photo...
I used a couple of stamp sets from My Favorite Things to embellish my tag. The shamrocks are from the "Lucky" stamp set and the sentiment is from "Label Maker Love". A bit of twine and a few sequins finished off the front of my card.
The inside of my card is finished simply with another sentiment and the tiny 4 leaf cloves from the MFT stamps "Lucky" stamp set.
I"ll be linking up my card with a couple of challenges:
Thanks again for stopping by. I always appreciate your visits and sweet comments!
