Anyway, back to the card! I love using Creative Inspirations Paints to create a distressed effect on my cards, it's great because you get a nice aged look and a lovely shimmer finish too! I simply use a sponge to dab the paint on, the colors blend really well together. On the bottom half of the card and on the sentiment I used layers of Caramel, Tan and Antique Copper. On the top section I used Rose Quartz and Rustic Red to match the paper. The stitching was white and I colored it with the paint! The ruffle is made of red tissue paper that I gathered, stitched on the machine and rubbed with some of the reds I used earlier.
I used some Glossy Accents on the strawberry and painted an outline of Rustic Red, the top I painted with Evergreen paint. I thought the Glossy Accents would be just perfect for a juicy strawberry!! The strawberry, sentiment and raspberry dot digital paper are all part of the Berry Meadow Scrapbook Pack by QuirkyTwerp at the Digichick (There are lots of really cute things in this pack!). I put a piece of hessian (burlap) fabric I found at my mom's at the back of the sentiment, lovely texture to it!
Ok, I had to sneak in a little Victorian Fripperie by Waltzingmouse Stamps, Claire just released six amazing new sets but this is my favourite. I stamped this in true red for a tone on tone effect. I just got the stamp set in the post yesterday and I've been dying to use it! There are so many great elements in it, you'll be seeing a lot of them in my cards coming up! Soo, beautiful!!
The lovely cream silk ribbon, twill, crochet lace and The Thrift Shop (October Afternoon) paper are all from The Stamp Simply Store. Don't forget I'm the Guest Designer for the month of July with them and I'll be posting a new creation Friday!
