This was my first try at drawing a box on my card, which I've wanted to do for a long, long time and I need to work on it a little to get it even. But, I do like the finished look it gives!
After I stamped the images, I added a little bit of depth to flowers by shading with my shimmer chalks. It's hard to tell in the photo but I added a little bit to each flower and to some of the leaves.
I'm pretty sure that I followed the rules to the challenge, but I think that if I didn't that Ted of all people would understand, as he has laughed at himself several times lately over being "challenge" challenged! LOL!! Thanks Ted for hosting this fun challenge!
Supplies (all PTI unless noted)
Stamps: Four of a Kind, Fillable Frames
Paper: Kraft
Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Ocean Tides & Summer Sunrise, Palette Landscape & Palette Bordeaux
Other: Shimmer Chalks, Black Pen
Woweee! This is gorgeous!!! Your lines look great and the image is just perfect. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love the stamping on Kraft...and the box...I still need to try that one out too. I'm going to have to start making a list of cards to case, techniques to try, etc. Lovely card!

ReplyDeleteLaurie? Good grief, I meant JEN! I don't know where my head is this morning, forgive me!
ReplyDeleteYour card using the CHA set is awesome....I think these flowers look soo nice stamped on kraft. I love how you added a sentiment in the middle of your "box"....that must have been hard.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me that I made a card for Ted's challenge...when I saw your card this morning, I thought I'd better get it posted! We even used the same layout with the box but just different stamps! :)
