hello!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook blog and it's giving beachy and retro and sandy vibes!
love it!
I did lots of Distress Oxide Ink blending on this card!
the card base was a light kraft. then I used Picked Raspberry, Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, Tattered Rose, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina for inside the circles of the Retro Sun & Palms Stencil Set.
then I used Black Soot for the birds flying in the distance.
I also used Vintage Photo and Antique Linen for the edges. I also splattered those same colors along the edges of the card - again, to mimic some sandy feel!
for the palm trees, I used white embossing paste as well as some sparkly paste! I LOVE the sparkle and the gritty texture it gives to the card. it perfectly compliments the sentiment!
I heat embossed the sentiment in black from the Seashell Roundabout Stamp Set onto some vellum that was die cut using the Banner Trio Die Set.
it took EVERYTHING in me not to make these colors super saturated and bright, like I usually do. but I really wanted to make this card with a retro and vintage vibe, so I kept the colors muted.
be sure to check out the card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!
