This week’s Color Throwdown challenge (#102) features some really COOL colors…
I had to substitute for all three colors this week, but I think I came close, and made an awesome card in the process!
The colors had me thinking more of a masculine card, which led me to thoughts of my husband (go figure), who wears a suit of armor on rare occasions…
and that led me to the design of this card!
I dry-brushed gold acrylic paint over the embossed strip of cardstock and distressed the card base to add more interest (and to cover up the fact that I brushed gold on the card base and it didn’t look right, so I went with distressing instead)!
Supply list:
Ink: Stampin’ Up (Old Olive, Soft Suede & Basic Blue)
Stamps: Crafty Secrets (Favorite Fellas) and Stampin’ Up (Artistic Etchings)
Cardstock: DCWV, Stampin’ Up!
Paper: Crate Paper (Brook collection) – used to mat sentiment and stamped images
Rub-ons: DCWV (Once Upon a Time)
Other: gold acrylic paint, fleur-de-lis brad, eyelets, Tim Holtz embossing folder
Thanks for taking the time to look at my card!
