I created this card for a Featured Stamper Challenge week after last. Michelle, aka eliotstamps, was the featured stamper and I picked this card from her gallery to case. I also cased Cindy Lawrence idea of sponging the Nestabilities shape behind the Pure Innocence image. I saw it on a card of hers and had to try it out.
I cut a piece of Neenah White cardstock with a curved rectangle Nestabilies die, left the die on and sponged the entire piece with Wild Honey and Aged Mahogany Distress ink. Next I layered it on a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock that had been sponged with Walnut Stain Distress ink. I cut around in shape of Nestabilities die cut to create a second layer.
The image is from My Favorite Things Pure Innocence Better get Better stamp set. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored with Copic Markers (E51, E53, E47, E57, R24, R29, W2). The dress was paper pieced with October Afternoon The Thrift Store Patterned Paper.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Kraft cardstock folded in half. Next is a 3 15/16″ x 5 3/16″ piece of sponged Chocolate chip cardstock topped with a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Thrift Store paper. The red horizontal strip is from the same paper pack and was cut with the Scalloped Scallop Die-namics border die. 1/2″ Silk Seashell Ribbon was tied around the layers. The card was finished off by three small Prima Flowers.
The inside of the card is pretty simple. I kept the same measurements and layers like the card front. A 1 1/8″ x 3 3/4″ piece of October Afternoon Paper was adhered to a 1 1/4″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Ruby Red cardstock that had been sponged with Aged Mahogany Distress ink. The white cardstock layer had been sponged with Wild Honey.

Amazing!!!! The sponging makes it so warm and dramatic.
Love the distressed inks you used, fabulous shading:-)
Gorgeous!!! I can’t get over the rich color that you’ve achieved through sponging on the inks. Just added 2 more distress inks to my shopping list! 🙂
