I needed a sympathy card today, so I drew from the inspiration of a couple of challenges.
The Mod Squad Challenge is "What Wood you Create"
The Card Concept is to use texture
I also used the sketch from My Favorite Things Weekly Stamp Club
The sentiment didn't quite fit the die, so I stamped it on ivory and trimmed it close, then attached it to the die cut. Stamped the banner with a Canvas stamp with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. Used the same Distress Ink to sponge around the circle and the banner. Used a strip of burlap paper by DCWV, it's actually burlap on the top and backed by paper. Added some little wooden pine trees. Cardstock used: Core'dinations Shattered, Gina K Warm Cocoa, Mustard and Kraft.
I guess this would be considered Freestyle Collage style for The Card Concept Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
