Good morning friends and happy Friday! Found some time to play along with PTI's Make it Monday challenge this week, and Betsy challenged us to use a comb (or something similar) to add texture to our stamps. My card's very simple, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Take a look:
If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you'll be able to see the texture better. I started with the leaves from PTI's "Beautiful Blooms" stamp set and SU!'s Gumball Green ink. After inking the stamp, I used my comb in two directions to add the texture to the leaves. I then added the flowers from the stamp set with different colors (SU!'s Tangerine Tango, Wisteria Wonder, YoYo Yellow, Pool Party, Melon Mambo, & So Saffron). I added a black center to all the flowers to make them pop a bit more, and then after adding the sentiment (PTI's "Flower Fusion #11), I added a few clear iridescent sequins to the background and also over the black centers of the flowers. My card base is SU!'s Tangerine Tango, which also adds a pop of color to the card. A quick and easy card, but sure to bring a smile with it's brightness to someone's day! :0)
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you all have a wonderful and JOY filled weekend! See you next week with more inspiration! :0)
