Blog Candy thank you for my followers and a New Fussy and Fancy Challenge!

Happy Friday everyone!

We have a brand new challenge at 

Fussy and Fancy this fortnight.

Our latest challenge is

Vintage with distressing and lace

Well, I'm really bad.

First of all this was a huge challenge for me because it is 

totally out of my comfort zone.

I had to go out and buy the supplies to use on this card.

(After I watched several tutorials on You tube!)

However, I really did have lots of fun playing with the ink!

Second of all, I just now realized that my card is supposed

 to have lace!

Ugh!  I thought it was Vintage with distressing!

So here is my DT card

Have you ever thought that your card was, "Ok"?

And then when you look at the actual picture of it

you realize, "I shouldn't have done that" or

"It's missing this"?

Well, It happens to me all the time.

Looking at my card, I realize that I should have

weathered or inked my flower more.

I actually had a Tim Holtz tissue tape "music note" 

flower made, originally that looked pretty good.

Don't ask me why I swapped it out.

I simply  couldn't tell you.

Recipe

Black and cream cardstock from Stampin Up

I stamped the back piece of cream cardstock 

with white adirondack lights acrylic paint 

using a leaf pattern rubber stamp.

Then when it was dry, I inked over it with

Tim Holtz Distress Ink  bundled sage

For the stamped image section

I used two inks on the cream paper

Tim Holtz  bundled sage

and a small amount of tumbled glass

I wanted this piece to be more of a

blue green than the green piece 

behind it.

when it was dry, I stamped it with a 

Hero Arts vintage stamp in black

I sanded and distressed all of the edges

and put it all together with some dotted ribbon

and my ahem..... flower.
