Creative Knockouts #479 - Anything Goes

Hello crafty friends!

Well, winter has officially arrived here in the prairies....so it's time for some snow fun!

It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Knockouts Challenge #479. 

Our theme this week is "Anything Goes” and our sponsor is the amazing “SheepSki Designs”. I chose to work with a stamp set called "Winter Deer Image No 195"

Here is what I created:

I haven't does a "distressed' card in a long, long time!  I started by printing the digial image out on white cardstock, then covered it with Versamark.  I sprinkled on the Distress Frosted Crystal Embossing powder and heat set (I'm still learning - so bare with me! haha)

I did add a few layers of Speckled Egg and Tattered Rose here and there for some color.  Then I added some Taupe ink to age the papers.

I grabbed some vintage book paper and distressed with tearing, ink and some White Gloss Spray.

Finally, I stamped my sentiment and some "snow" using the Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink!

I hope you enjoy this card!  I had tons of fun creating it - it felt good to do a different style for a change and get inky! haha

Can't wait to see what you all create!  Good luck at the challenge!

Stick It Down - August

Hello friends!

It's time to share my card for Stick It Down this month!  Here was our sketch:

I had picked up and adorable Stamp & Paper set from PeachyCheap called "Golden Days" by Amber Labau.  I really wanted to create with it so this is what I came up with:

I used Distress Oxide Inks to created the background and most of the stamping. I added a bit of the orange using Sorbet Ink from Close to My Heart.

I'm also playing around with a new background/photography layout. What do you think? I love my canisters, but I think it turns out too dark sometimes. 

  

I'd love to hear from you and see what you think! :)  Make sure you come along and play with us!
