Monochrome Friday - Travelling down the Pebbled Path

Hey Friends!  This Friday's  monochrome card features my favorite of the 2023-2025 In Colors, Pebbled Path.  I love this earthy grey-brown color, perfect for grunge cards, masculine cards, or whatever your like. The top layer is white cardstock that I stamped with the images from the Wild Ferns stamps in 5 different colors.  I darkened the white edges with Pebbled Path ink and a blender brush.

    Have you ever tried creating your won background paper?  I have always enjoyed creating my own background paper using stamps.  I think it works really well with these papers.  If you haven's tried this technique I encourage you to give it.  Just start stamping until you are happy with the finished product.

          Monochrome Friday - It's a Moody Mauve Day

          Hey Friends!  Today's monochromatic card features Moody Mauve from the 2023-2025 In Colors.  This is a quick and easy card that is just paper, ink, embellishments and glue.   

          Card Details

          • Stamps
            • Cheerful Daisies
          • Paper
            • Moody Mauve card base - 11" x 4 1/4", score & fold at 5 1/2"
            • Basic White accent layer - 2 7/8" x 5 1/2"
            • Basic White sentiment - 2 3/4" x 2" 
            • Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper - 2 3/4" x 5 1/2", 2 7/8" x 2"

          The floral image are stamped in 2nd and 3rd generation and the sentiment is full strength ink.  Second generation stamping is when you stamp off once and third is when you stamp off twice.  In this case I stamped off, then stamped top left image followed by bottom right without re-inking my stamp.
