Robyn’s Fetish Weekly Challenge #7

Hi Everyone

As a Design Team member we were set the same challenge too, so here is my take on it

For my card I chose to use the stamp of Tammy – I first coloured her with my Warm Grey copic markers W1, W3, W5 & W7, them I added colour to the image with YG95, RV02, RV04, Eoo, R11, YR23 and RV000.  I then inked over the entire image with Rangers Distress Ink in Old Paper, using the distress inking tool, and then added Antique Linen and Tea Dye to the edges.  I then distressed the edges of the image and inked again with Tea Dye.  I embossed all my cardstock from Coredinations with a Fiskars Texture plate and then sanded it and inked with Distress ink in Shabby Shutters and Tea Dye, I also ran the paper distressing tool along all the edges and inked them with the Tea Dye pad.  I used patterned papers from a K & Company paper pad and distressed, sanded and inked them with the same distress inks.  To add a stitched effect I used some stamps from a Hot off the Press set with Versamark ink and embossed with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Embossing powders.  To finish the card I used a Woodware border punch, added some grosgrain ribbon that I also inked with distress ink and finally added a charm and a rusty key from my stash.

Here is a closer look at Tammy

Now you have seen my take on the challenge why not see what my fellow Design Team mates came up with – you can find a link to their blogs in my side bar.

Well that's it for this post – speak to you all again soon
