Anyway, I did sneak into the craft room for a while this morning and made a card to cover three challenges - Just Add Ink which is Just Add Grunge; Create with Connie & Mary's color challenge and the sketch at Pals Paper Arts.
Raspberry Ripple and Soft Sky look so pretty together. I grunged up both colors as well as the DSP using Gorgeous Grunge. Then I wanted to put a flower on the card but didn't want it to look too pretty, being as it was a grunge card of course! So I made my own flower using Hemp Twine and a Designer Builder Brad. The center of the brad is also grunged-up Soft Sky cardstock.
Here's a close-up:
Thanks for looking.
Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge; Great Friend
Ink: Raspberry Ripple; Soft Sky; Crumb Cake
Cardstock: Soft Sky; Raspberry Ripple; Modern Medley DSP
Accessories: Hemp Twine; Designer Builder Brads
Edited to Add: This card was chosen as an Artists Pick at Pals Paper Arts.
Cheers
Karren
