Bragging over, on to today's card. The lovely Bev from Happy Dance made a gorgeous card for three challenges, and it prompted me to make my own version. I am now the proud owner of some Altenew stamps, albeit freebies from a magazine. The set contains a three-part layered rose, a three-part layered leaf, a rose die, a leaf die and some sentiments.
I stamped the middle rose and middle leaf stamps with Distress Inks (Pickled Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Peeled Paint) onto mixed media paper then spritzed lightly with water. The bleed varied depending on the amount of water I was spritzing. The birthday die-cut is a Winnie & Walter Cutaway, and the 'wishes' is from STAMPlorations Sentiment Builders: Love.
So, thanks to Bev, I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Colour Throwdown (why have I never played here before????)
Task For Two Tuesday - Make Your Own Background
and CAS(E) This Sketch (flip it, stretch it!)
I'm over at A Sprinkle of Imagination with another card today. Here's a sneak peek:
