Good morning and happy Friday - and Unity Friends with Flair! I love my card for today! I tried a few new things on it.
I recently got a paper crimper and couldn't wait to try it! I ran a piece of kraft cardstock through it, then brushed some white craft paint over the edges and across part of the center.
The poppies are from the April KOTM, colored with Copics, then I ran it through my Cuttlebug using a PTI Impression Plate and inked the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink.
I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, and in pink, then cut out a few words, inked the edges, and layered it over the brown for some dimension and interest.
The background paper is from Echo Park's This and That Graceful 6x6 paper pad. I also added some twill ribbon and jute twine from Ribbon Carousel.
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your Friday is wonderful - and you have a wonderful weekend!
