The one on the right is the demo card and on the left are the two inspiration cards.
To make this one I used weathered wood distress ink to colour the background then put the colour face down in the embossing folder so that I could then, once embossed, emphasise the bricks by wiping over with vintage photo distress ink. I used the same weathered wood on the smaller central piece of card then stamped onto it using the brickwall stamp from the set. The text stamps were also from the set. Finally I coloured a further piece of card with weathered wood and used the diesire ivy leaves die and cut them out. The whole thing is mounted onto an anna marie designs card blank.
The other two cards were made in a very similar way - the lighter blue one was done the same except for using the embossed rather than the debossed wall. The brown one includes a sentiment from Tim Holtz and also the bird die is from TH too. The embossing folder used was the parquet floor one.
Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Big hugs and enjoy the rest of your day!!

It looks like you had a very productive morning, the cards are beautiful, I really love the brickwork, it looks amazing! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteVery effective look with the technique you have used. That brick texture looks so very realistic.Love the leaves creeping down the wall, and adding the tiny central image, certainly draws the eye in to appreciate the 'brick-work'. So glad you had a productive & happy morning. TFS &hugs
