As I sit here listening to coffee house jazz on YouTube music and breathe the smoky air coming from the Canadian wildfires I am sure that life isn’t perfect.
But then I think about going into my kitchen and making coffee for my hubby and I and I’m thinking it’s a pretty wonderful life, seeing that we are still together after 48 years of marriage!
The base card is kraft card stock.
The main panel is kraft card stock that I applied Distress texture paste through Tim Holtz “Splatters” stencil and allowed it to dry.
Next I applied Distress gathered twigs ink with a blending brush.
Then I stamped the sentiment and images from Tim Holtz “Phrases 2” and “fresh Brewed” with Distress ground espresso Archival ink.
I colored the images with Prismacolor pencils and stenciled with more gathered twigs inks and Tim Holtz “Splatters” & “Burlap” stencils.
What a fabulous card, Arlene! I LOVE all of the distressing and the texture. The sentiment is perfect! Thank you for playing in my masculine challenge at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 48 years of marriage Arlene - we made only 43... what a wonderful card you have created - love that fabulous textural background and the great stamping and colouring. That sentiment is so true!

Another great card, Arlene! You're inspiring me to drag out my dimensional paste that I've never used. I always look forward to your cards here at The Paper Players!
