Texture at Countryview Challenges

Hello there! Well its the first of August and that can mean only one thing - time for a new challenge over at Countryview Challenges - and the theme this month is texture. I have a card for my first inspirational piece for this challenge. Its not huge on texture but there is some here.


I started by making a distress oxide background....

Then I added some text ....

next for a little stamping and some blobs of texture paste ...


Here's the completed card - all stamps are from the latest paperartsy release  you can find here.

here's a close up of one of the stamped images ...


and here you can see the crazed texture I also added in places here.

You can join our challenge and get lots of inspirationHere.

Big hugs

Rachel x

    I love that stamp set! I wanted to use it as well but the image are so detailed I couldn't imagine them with "texture"... A lovely card, Rachel, the background reminds me of a night sky and the crazed texture looks great! xx

    The Oxide background you created is absolutely stunning Rachel, it certainly looks textural to me and I love those PA stamps, you have used them beautifully. Hugs, Anne xx

    Wow - you created the perfect skyscape with your Oxides - it's just wonderful, like gazing up into the heavens... and then, of course, the perfect stamp choices to go with that - fabulous!
