I'm back in the stamp room today. I am quite pleased to show you the card I just created. As I mentioned, this weeks color combination is not an easy one for me. I saw this stamp by Penny Black sitting on my shelf, and I was thinking that I could do something with that. That is exactly where I started. I stamped the flower with Coffee Archival Ink instead of black. I knew I wanted to color the image with my colored pencils and Gamsol so I need to use an Archival Ink. I dug this patterned paper out of my stash box. I have no idea who it is by. I only had a small scrap left. I sure do love it though especially for this color combination. I stamped the Cocoa background with a Hero Arts stamp called Circle Pattern using Chocolate Chip ink. I wanted it to stand out a bit. Oh and then my favorite thing about this card. My seam binding ribbon. I dyed it with Tim Holtz's Barn Red Distress ink. I love how sharp the colors turn out. I had a Ruby Red stripe to also put on my card but the color was not "just right" to match the ribbon. I ran the Distress Stain over the cardstock and look: It matches perfectly! I was so happy with myself on that one! LOL! To top it off, I added two antique buttons up in the corner. I love how this turned out! Happy Wednesday!
