Nina's Thank You~


While not stamped in the expected genre for this stamp set, I love how this card turned out.
No one says you have to stamp the image fully in the center of the card, so I allowed part of it run off the card.  I added a popped up sentiment, a bit of Stickles sparkle, marker spatter and ink distressing to give this a rustic feel.

Because the image is so big, it needed a bit of weight at the bottom of the card; a small embossed smokey strip grounds the card.  A bow of satin ribbon and a heart charm contradict and compliment the distressed feel, unexpected in a good way.

 This card is off to a foreign country.....the longest journey any card of mine has ever made.  :)

Supplies:
Dauber, Spatter tool, Satin ivory ribbon, Heart charm, Picture hanger, Corner rounder, Dimensional foam
Enjoy your weekend!
