Inspirational Card Sketches DT # 14

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!! It is time for New Inspirational Card Sketch!!!! This week Dawn is hosting the ICS #14. Here is the card I made using the Sketch this week. (Now you can turn it, flip it, stretch it and rotate it).













In this card, I used the brayer technique for the background on the main image, then stamped the wild flowers ("Silhouettes" from Inque Boutique) over the top using Graphite black (Brilliance) craft ink. All of this is stamped on Glossy White cardstock (I've found that works best for the brayer technique). The base ink is from a Big and Juicy pad -"Foliage".




















For sentiment "Happy Mother's Day" I used dollarstamp set from Studio G.




















To finish the card, I added some Ribbon, brads, Gemstones, flowers, Cuttlebug die (Sweet Dots) and Piercings.
RECIPE: Stamps: "Silhouettes" (Inque Boutique) and sentiment (Studio G); Papers: DK.Brown and cream c.s.; Patterned paper. Inks: Graphite black (Brilliance), Jumbo Java (VersaMagic), Latte (Adirondack), Foliage (Big and Juicy pad)Accessories: Ribbon, Flowers, brads, gemstones, embossing folder (Sweet Dots), foam tape; Tools: Cuttlebug, Flowers punch, paper piercer.


**************************************************************************************I have had a very pleasant day- the postman have brought a new issue Stamper's Sampler "Catch up issue" magazine (I was not subscribed for) that has my card "Joy" PUBLISHED:-) That was a real surprise for me, so I want to share it with you, my guests.


















I hope you have a wonderful day! ~Olena~
