Anyway - onto today - I've got a round card to share with you that I made for my friend's 30th birthday:
I've made this card using a round card blank from kanban and covered it with old paper distress stain. Then I splodged on distess inks - barn door and fired brick and splattered with water to create a patchy effect with beached out areas. After that I used tea dye around the edges and then once dry stamped a penny black stamp around the card outside. I made the central area using grunge paper that I stained as above then added barn door around the edges - the grungepaper numbers are coloured direct to paper with barn door. After adding the central sentiment I added flowers that had been wiped over with barn door and added two tim hotlz adage labels edged with fired brick. Finally I added my angel charm.
Had lots of messy fun making this and I think my friend will love it!
I'd like to enter this for the following challenges:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge: Case it
Sunday Stampers Challenge
Craft your passion challenges: different shape.
Divas by design: Charmed I'm sure
