Journey card

Hi!

Today I have a quick card to show, that I made while at a crop this past weekend.  The colors are from Pals Paper Arts' challenge this week:


One of my favorite color combos!  I'll miss Bermuda Bay, but I'm so excited that Soft Suede is joining the Color Collections!


I figured out how to play around more with colors in my photos, so we'll see how that goes!  I don't know what it is, probably just the perfectionist in me.. but it bothers me when the colors aren't true to seeing it in real life.  This is as close as I could get it!  :)  Haha, I figure it's probably different on some of you all's screens, so this was probably for nothing.  Well, I just won't look at it on another computer to save my own sanity.  LOL

Anyway, so this card was created using one of my new stamp sets, Sentimental Journey.  I repeatedly stamped images from the set in VersaMark on the card base, and used the plane on my focal piece.  Lots of distressing going on here as well.

Journey card supplies:
Stamps:  Sentimental Journey
Ink:  Soft Suede and Bermuda Bay Classic Stampin' Pads, VersaMark ink
Paper:  Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Whisper White cardstock
Accessories/Tools:  Linen Thread, Soft Suede 1/2" Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Mini Library Clip, Cutter Kit, Stampin' Sponge

  2. Very pretty! I like your distressing. I am sorry to see curry and bermuda retiring also, but am also happy Suede is staying around a while. :)
