Double D, Twine

Good Morning!  

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile for this Challenge:

Twine!

Here's what I decided to create:

First I die cut the center out using a Spellbinders Standard Circle die.  Then I created my wood grain background by scoring every 1/4".  Then I just swiped inks in Dove Grey and Teal Blue over the card stock until I got the look I liked....and I loooooove these colors.  If you have never made one I suggest you try, it's quite a lot of FUN!

Taking the Circle cut I sponged Oxide Distress inks in Iced Spruce, Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint and Wilted Violet.  Then I dropped water all over and spritzed it with Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Sweet Mint, for that fun Oxide look.  Heat Embossed the coral/seaweed image from Stampin' Up! By The Tide stamp set in a pretty Seafoam Green.  Sentiment Heat Embossed in White from the Simon Says Sail Away -- Starfish, Sand Dollar and Anchor from that same set.  Anchor die cut also Heat Embossed in Silver.

Images colored with Copic Markers.  

Added some pretty Teal Baker's Twine and tied a few UN-Nautical like Knots in it for a bit of interest.  Also added that perfect Charm, a glittery Pink Heart and my embossed Anchor.

Heart is from the PTI Dress Up Dolls--Puppy Love set.

I backed my wood grain panel with Fun Foam so the circle die cut would set right inside, then I was able to add my Starfish and Sand Dollar dies cuts. 

Sequins.

WOS.


This card wil also be entered into the Scrapy Land Challenge, Anything Goes.
