I started with a piece of ivory cardstock and sponged 4 colours of brown to create the ombre effect. Then I scored the brick wall pattern and went over the score lines with a white pen to make them stand out slightly.
I inked the flowers and leaves and stamped them. I coloured in the smaller flowers with a marker. I got a PixScan for Christmas so I tried it out and cut out the images with my Cameo. I realized after I had the card finished that I should have cut out the middle of the images!
I didn't have a 'just because' type of sentiment, so I wrote the sentiment with my Silhouette sketch pen and trimmed it to a rectangle. I matted the sentiment, attached a piece of ribbon and attached the sentiment. I matted the brick layer and attached the whole thing to an ivory card base.
I used the following products:
Gina K. Designs stamps: Love and Prayers; Birthday Blessings
Ink: Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake; Memento Rich Cocoa; ColorBox Chalk Chestnut Roan, ColorBox Pigment Brown, Orange and Green
Markers: Staedtler Fineliner: Orange, Yellow; Silhouette sketch pen: White, Brown
ribbon and cardstock from my stash
Beautiful card and love those colors together!
