Nature’s Gift

My card today has a lot of my fav’s; the pinch of red and the kraft cardstock is something I love to use.  I colored the Apples Stamp with Tombow markers and spritzed with a fine mister to it bring out all the best that the artist intended.   I stamped the Natures Gift sentiment with Versafine Sepia

I cut and layered the image with Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large and Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals Large.  Beneath the main panel I arranged three of Spellbinders Lattice Borderabilities.  The edges of the kraft card stock are smudged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and the May Art Red Silk bow is simply decadent.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Inkadinkado
Paper:  The Paper Company
Ink:  Versafine Sepia, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Lattice Borderabilities, Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large, Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals Large, May Arts Ribbon

Blessings friends!

    I love what you do with stamps and Spellbinders. Thanks for the inspiration. It really does motivate me to spend money on these products. Now if you could only convince the companies to have a few more sales. I can never afford all that I see you use that I want.ReplyCancel

    Wow, how gorgeous Becca!

    I think I’m gonna have to get out my Thesaurus, because Gorgeous, Beautiful, Stunning and Amazing are getting old and over used on this blog, girl!

    Here’s one never used, I’m sure: Pulchritudinous! ;o)ReplyCancel

    Thank you Becca for the beautiful card. I admire your knowledge when it comes to technique. I am going to try the tombo markers and a spray of mist on my apples for my next card.

    Yours in Christ,
