I am thrilled to be playing along with a new challenge that the fabulous Karen Baker has created. The challenge is to use the same stamp set and the same challenge. A "carbon copy" of the stamp set and challenge, but likely two very different designs. The stamp set Karen and I are playing along with is PaperTrey Ink's set from Stamp-a-Faire, Iconic Images and the challenge is Jay Gee's Nook Challenge. We both adore Judith at Jay Gee's Nook, so we thought this would be a great one to do together.
Karen is amazing at adding texture to her cards without a ton of layers so I wanted to try to do the same with my card. I took my PTI Linen Impression Plate and inked it up with SU Perfect Plum ink and then ran the kraft paper through my Sizzix to create a bit of texture. I then added the twine, bird and sentiment. I stamped a few images on the white panel and then adhered the sentiment panel with dimensionals. Let me know what you think. And...be sure...to stop by and what Karen has created. I am sure you'll be impressed!
Here is the inspiration photo from Jay Gee's Nook.
