Stampin Up Only Challenge 130 A Note for a Friend


I enjoy the challenge of using different stamp sets together. 
I stamped the three feathers in tip Top Taupe and water colored them using Tip Top Taupe and Cajun Craze.  The script from French Foliage was stamped twice with Early Espresso.  The postmarks were stamped with Cajun Craze. Next using the stamp a ma  jig I stamped the tree line in  Tip Top Taupe.
I masked off the words and tree line with post it's, and stamped georgeous grunge large stamp, below with Taupe and above with Cajun Craze.  I used the paper edger to distress the edges and sponged edges with Taupe.  The shimmer is Champagne Mist mixed with alcohol and spritzed over the entire front.  The front is mounted to an Early Espresso mat, and then to a Whisper White card base.
All stamps and three colors of ink.  A very different masculine card.
