Autumn background...


Yes, I have tons of designer paper but I just couldn’t resist trying this.
The base card is cream card stock with a layer of brown card stock and another of cream.
The sentiment stamped in the corner is from Unity Stamp Co.’s “...a beauty all it’s own” using Distress ground espresso ink.
The strip of background paper is water color paper with Distress ink gathered twigs sponged on it.
Next I stamped the image from Unity Stamp Co.’s “Autumn Greetings” using the ground espresso ink.
This I attached to the card front.
Finally I stamped the image from Unity Stamp Co.’s “Autumn Greetings” with Memento rich cocoa ink onto water color paper and water colored it with Distress inks walnut stain, rusty hinge, antique linen, tea dye, peeled paint and brushed corduroy.
After trimming it out with scissors I foam squared it to the card front.
