playing with the majestic oak

Good morning all and how are you? Hope your Saturday is good so far and gets better all the time! I've got a hectic morning - so whats new - I'm face painting at a kids party that my girls are both going to - only Lucy has a ballet lesson this morning too - so I have to paint Penny's face, take Lucy to ballet, drop Penny at the party, get Lucy and go back to the party to paint the other faces! This afternoon we're on a tidying mission as hubby will be back tomorrow!

My card today is the result of watching Sheena on Create and Craft and then going off for a play - this is what I came up with:

I used the reverse of the centura pearl card and used DI black soot all over the card apart from a large central circle. Then I poured my radiant rain misters onto my craft mat and used sponge to sponge first blue, then purple, then yellow all over the card - but mostly in the balckened areas. Once dry I used cut and dry foam and added fired brick DI all over the card and when dry I stamped the tree in black archival and fixed with clear embossing paste. Then I used the aged beautifully stamp set to add the text and the crackles and the corners. After matting and layering I added this to pastel centura pearl card after tying a bow and added the wisdon sentiment. I love it! Thanks Sheena for continually bringing out fabby stamps and giving us all so much inspiration!

I'd like to enter this card for the male card challenge over at crafterscompanion and also the embossing ans texture challenge at stamping sensations.

Hope you have a great day and thanks for visiting! Hugs Rachel xx
