Happy Wednesday!
I'm back again with another card using the new All Geared Up Collection released last week by Heartfelt Creations. This time I'm using the Nuts and Bolts Set.
I stamped the image with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and colored it with pencils and mineral spirits. (You can click on the photo for a closer view.) The 'frame' was made using one of the card fronts from the designer papers that I trimmed.
Today we are also doing a cross-promotional blog hop with Really Reasonable Ribbon - my favorite place to buy ribbon!!! I used their gorgeous Copper Forest Silk Ribbon and Bow-Easy Tool to make this beautiful bow! I love the way their silk ribbon drapes, so pretty and the 2 tones on the ribbon really make an eye-catching bow!
Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog and the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!
I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
