Hey Everybody,
Dini's challenge is to make a card using the letters in Grads to make your card.
G-green, gold, glue dot
R-rectangles, rubber stamps
A-Air Fern, adhesive
D-Distressing, dimensionals
S-silver, scallops
I inked up white cardstock with peaceful pine, pretty peacock and old olive with blending brushes. Then I dry embossed it on the debossed side. I used the black-out technique and pulled secret sea over the ferns. I added the scalloped rectangle and the tag with silver thread. Then the sentiment was stamped and added with dimensionals. I backed the image panel with gold then added it to a card base.

This week we tried several inks on top of the greens and found that secret sea and black worked best to give a good contrast. We tried pretty peacock, which goes on dark, but dries lighter and of course more blue green. It didn't have the same degree of contrast and didn't show off the other colors as well. It still looked pretty, but not fantastic like black and secret sea.
Well, I'm off to Day 2 of a sports card show with my son at Great Northern Mall. See you for another challenge tomorrow.
Blessings,
Sue
