A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Sunday, January 08, 2012

I have a new card that I would like to share with you all today. I have made this for the Anything Goes Challenge Blog. Their challenge this week is Blue and One Other Colour - mine is Orange!

I have used the Gorjuss 'The Bear' stamp which is absolutely gorgeous ;) The cute sentiment is a Digi Stamp from Paper Makeup Stamps. No patterned papers for this challenge; I have simply used my distress inks to create a custom blue background (which you can see on my Distress Ink Tutorial), and an apricot and orange cardstock for the borders.





Gorjuss was coloured using Copic Markers, and for the distressed borders I used the Tim Holtz Distress Inks.


For the embellishments, I really wanted wanted to use an orange flower to match the colouring on Gorjuss. I couldn't find anything that was quite right so decided to distress some plain white paper flowers that I picked up from my local craft store. I used the Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge Distress Ink on the tips of the petals and the Archivals Brilliance Gold Ink to add a bit of sparkle. I have also done a photo tutorial showing how you can distress your own paper flowers to suit your project here.




The other challenges that I will be entering with this card are:
