Let's Ink It Up - Die Cuts and Punchies

Hello to all new and old players with the now fortnightly challenges from Let's Ink It Up. I have been a follower for a few months only but I am now so thrilled, for I was accepted at the last DT call and am now part of Team B. Suzanne and Claire our wonderful leaders, decided to hold 2 weekly challenges with an A and B team. We got off to a great start last week, so hopefully there are many of you who are eager to show us what you can do with the challenge for the next two weeks - DIE CUTS AND PUNCHIES.
I made an A5 card which opens landscape wise. I created the background using a piece of cream paper, which I randomly added patches of TH Distress inks Tumbled Glass and Old Paper. I randomly stamped a small flower and leaves using Sepia ink. I then covered the paper randomly with more Old Paper ink, then stamped with a larger flower head and leaves, again with Sepia ink. I enjoy trying different ways to make my own backgrounds, they don't all turn out well, a fair number do end up in the bin. Using two different size Nestabilities, I used a brown card for the outside one, the lighter one was edged with Antique Linen. I stamped the girl (Stamp It - Australia - Emily/Yvette ) lightly shaded in some areas with a pink pencil. I then made the flower using a Papermania Build a Rose set, adding a button to the centre. The punched strip in the centre is on cream paper using a Fiskas long punch. Thanks for looking, I am greatly looking forward to visiting your blogs to see your Die Cut and Punchie creations. Please remember that LIIU is for stamping only, we don't accept digi stamps. Have fun.

  1. Love your gorgeous vintage style card Caz. The sepia tones are lovely and that rose looks totally different in the brown and cream - I have this and didn't recognise it!
    Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
