Confident

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a card with all Tracy Evans stamps. Just the stencil is by Abs. It came out exactly as I wanted but this was the second attempt as the first background was too dark. 

Here's how:

First I used a scoreboard and a scoring tool to make the ridges in the card stock. I then swiped Distress Oxide ink over it to give it some colour and visual texture. I used Fossilised Amber. 

Next I stamped the flower on it. I was worried it wouldn't stamp right because of the texture but it was not problem. 

I had already coloured the flowers for the other background that is now in the bin, but I decided to add some more colour. I painted them with Distress Oxide inks; I used Fossilised Amber, Rusty Hinge and Cracking Campfire. I also coloured the buds on the card. 

I added a little bit of stencilling to add more interest. I used Oxide Ink in Rusty Hinge. 

Some stamping, of course! 

I went around the edges with a blending tool and Distress Oxide ink Ground Espresso to give it a bit more of a vintage feel. I also stuck the flowers on, I used dimensional adhesive. 

Next I stamped part of this stamp and heat embossed it with ochre yellow powder. I then cut the sentiments apart, putting the ones that I wasn't going to use away for later. 

I splattered some white acrylic paint on the panel using a Posca white paint pen and added the sentiment

. 

My white card base was too stark for this card so I took my Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Ink and went around the edges. 

When the ink had dried I glued the card panel to it.
