justmagnolia3 had "distress" as their theme this week.
justmagnolia had a great sketch.
stampin for the weekend had "strawberries dipped in chocolate" as their colour combo.
roses on paper wanted you to use some kind of stitching on your card.
I used the stitching on the back part of the card. I zig-zaged around the dotty paper and used a straight seam on the left part of the brown CB embossed cardstock. I also zig-zaged together the textpart with the brown embossed part. I used a white thread which I then distressed and coloured red with inkpads. I also used my distresspad (vintage photo I think from Tim Holtz) on the raised parts of the embossed cardstock. I think it makes the details stand out even more.
I used my nesties for the circles and promarkers for colouring. I used:
ruby, cinnamon, cocoa, saffron, ivory and ice grey1. The text is goldembossed.
I'm very happy with the flower cluster. I did the gold text embossing on the big red brad all by myself :) I forgot to add some leaves around there. I've bought a bunch of qk leaf dies and think it will look great with them. I'm also thinking about adding some kind of backing to the card, maybe glueing it to a folded piece of 15x15cm cardstock. I saw a technique like that ages ago that I really wanted to try and I might spruce this card up some more. But for now, there you have it!
