Summer Card Camp 2 - Week 2, Day 1

Hello!

Yes, I had a hectic week with work and the rest of my life. No stamping all week long, sigh! I've been itching to get to my craft table and play along with Summer Card Camp 2! On Day 1 this week, Kristina showed us a technique using distress inks with heat embossing. She made a circle card, but I'll be honest, circle cards drive me crazy because they don't stand up straight. At least mine don't! They roll all over the place! LOL! Kristina's card was BEAUTIFUL, so I decided to use the techniques and ideas in a normal A2 card.

I used Hero Arts Everything Flower background stamp, PTI Boutique Borders: Birthday, and PTI woodgrain impression plate. Patterned paper is Stampin' Up! All the creamy white is embossing. The colours are Distress Inks in Walnut Stain, Crushed Olive, Broken China, and Tumbled Glass. The woodgrain paper is SU! Soft Suede.

I love this week's colours! Greens, blue, and brown. Yum! My hubby looked at this card and said, "Wow! It looks really modern. Like a hotel room." I think that's a compliment, meaning it looks like it was made by an interior designer. :-)

I'm away this week-end, so I may not get any time to play more with these colours. I am holding out hope that when we come home on Sunday that I will get a little time to stamp, in between loads of washing.
