Amy at Heartfeltgreetings has brought back her Super Sketch Sunday, so I wanted to give it a try. The challenge also included using 3 different designer papers as part of the design. I added some distressing to the design for the Daring Cardmakers Most Distressing Challenge.
I pulled out all sorts of papers in Ivory or Maroon from my scrap bin. The center is an ivory handmade embossed paper scrap. I sponged on Light Brown and Maroon ink and then wadded up the paper several times before inking some more.
I used my distressing tool around the edges and added darker brown ink to finish. I also distressed around the Stampin' Up sentiment and sponged lightly with brown. The center of the flower was inked with a Sakura Glitter pen and smudged with my finger.
I hope you had an inspiring Saturday.
This is really cool, Stef! I love the colors and the look of the background!
