This card is a mash up of a few online challenges from this summer – the Embellish Coloring Challenge (yellow, pink, green, and tan) and the August 20th Hero Arts 90 minute scramble (use the “filler” stamps in a set rather than the main image), and I also think a sketch challenge, but for the life of me I can’t find it (again…a causality of my not posting these cards promptly!).
I used Stampin’ Up!’s French Foliage set for my “filler” stamps – the script is stamped on the patterned paper in So Saffron, and the passport stamp image on the card base so it peeks out behind the distressed patterned paper. And it is hard to see, but the card has a subtle shimmer from Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.
When people ask my what my “style” is I say clean/shabby…I love distressing things, but don’t like the collage like look that a lot of shabby/vintage cards have. I think this card is a perfect example of my style.
