My Dad's birthday is coming up, so I needed a nice masculine card to send him. I pulled out a beautiful old retired set called Changing Seasons. It has four stamps showing a different covered bridge for each season. I guess the one I choose shows Fall. (I just couldn't bear to do the cold, wintery scene I guess!) This card uses this weeks sketch from Mojo Monday. I used all retired stuff to make this card except for one stamp...can you see it? Look closely at the Artichoke DP, and you can see the Sanded background over the top. I also sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip ink.
Stamps: Changing Seasons, Sanded background, Everyday Flexible Phrases & Fancy Flexible Phrases
Card stock: Kraft, Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke Designer prints, Ski Slope
Ink: Black Stazon, Bravo Burgundy and various others to watercolor
Accessories: Aqua painter, 3/8" Chocolate grosgrain, Antique Gold Hodge podge Hardware & Word Window punch
Thanks for stopping by today!
