A Simple Sketch

This is for the challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch

 
 
I used the faux silk technique on this.  You crumble a piece of tissue paper, straighten it out and use a glue stick to adhere the crumpled piece of tissue to cardstock, maintaining some of the wrinkles for texture.  Stamped the leaf images and the sentiment with Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa.  Lightly sponged some Tim Holtz Distress ink - Antique Linen over the creases and around the edge.  Layered onto some sand and brown cardstock.
 
I also made a quick card for the challenge at JUGS
 

 
And the challenge at Creative Belli Blog - use yellow/orange/red
 
 
First embossed the grid with an embossing folder, then smeared Distress Stains in Barn Door, Wild Honey and Mustard Seed.  Misted over the Distress Stains to blend.  Dried with my heat gun and stamped the flowers with Vivid Taupe ink.  Stamped the sentiment with the same ink and cut it out and layered onto the die cut grommet tag.  Inked around the tag, added some Rain Dots Eyelets, dyed some Baker's twine with Color Box Putty Ink and tied.
 
All stamps used on both cards are by Gina K Designs.
 
Thanks for stopping by!
