I thought no point just giving them a swap I'd better demonstrate how to make one for themselves - this was thrown together with the card stock & the stamp sets on my craft desk and I really love it!
Stamp sets: Baroque Motifs, Retro Remix wheel (summer mini)
Ink: So Saffron, More Mustard - these two are "dynamic duos according to the SU! Colour Coach wheel
Paper: So Saffron, More Mustard, Very Vanilla
Punches: Wide oval, large oval, scallop oval
Other: So Saffron striped grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals
I love the grungy look I achieved by dragging the paper in the ink pad. In reality I was running out of time to grab a sponge or a dauber!
These are fabulous Karen. I must have a go at making one...or more :0). Hugs, Di
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea dragging the ink pad over your card instead of sponging. It certainly gives it a more rustic look. Like it, thanks Karen!
ReplyDeleteLove it Karen! Must try that colour combo its gorgeous together.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why it is that I have only just discovered your blog .. but I just wanted to say that I love your work! These gable boxes are gorgeous and I love the effect that the inkpad has given to the edges.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous box IRL. I love the shabby chic look!!
ReplyDeleteGrunge or not, I really like it. The colours look great too.
ReplyDeleteKaren, how you been? Great I hope, looks like you are keeping busy. Sorry your mom has been back in the hospital though. I really dig the gable boxes, think I am gonna hit up SCS and make some of my own, thanks for the inspiration. Hugs to you, Leslie
