Check out the new sketch over at SKETCH SATURDAY
It’s seriously fab!! For my card i have used the sketch by turning it left as I thought it fit better that way.. You can click on the picture to see a larger view.
Love this skating pair that was in my Magnolia club kit that came on friday and they are coloured with Rangers distress inks in the following colours:
- Tattered Rose
- Faded Jeans
- Antique Linnen
- Old Paper
- Worn Lipstick
- Vintage Photo
- Frayed Burlap
- Walnut stain
If you are new to colouring with inks.. you might want to check out my tutorial on this page.
Used a different technique to distress the CS and papers, by just sanding it down with some sandpaper.. The brown cardstock has a white core, so it really looks ‘distressed’ with a quick swipe of the sandpaper 🙂
The DP are MME Frost signature Christmas that I fell in love with last year.. and still is one of my favorites!
and the little wooden Christmas tree button I bought from the NEC on Friday, touched up with my clear glitter pen that was a freebie from the same stand, tied some embroidery floss through the holes.
Thanks again for the sketch.. will definately use it again!!
