I missed participating in the inaugural Card Concept challenge and did not want to miss the 2nd! The challenge is to used Texture on your card.
I used several textures on my card - green (grass) and blue (sky) burlap, a layered stitched die cut sun, and two stitched rectangles - the card base and the adhered slightly smaller panel. The house is stamped on red with Sepia ink. The sentiment is stamped on a Dienamics Sentiment Strip. I found a wonderful pack of 5 different colors of burlap by DCWV at Michaels.
This is either CAS (similar to DT Tracey's card) - CAL (similar to DT Kay's) Since there are many layers even though there is still quite a bit of white space - I'm leaning towards CAL (Clean and Layered)??!
Here's a close up of the layered sun - I just got these dies from Lil' Inker and I love them! I bent up some of the 'rays' of the smaller top layer to add texture and dimension.
Stamps: Board and Beams - PTI
Paper: White, Pure Poppy, Kraft, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise - PTI
Ink: Archival Versafine Sepia, Archival Jet Black
Accessories: burlap - Die Cuts With a View Mat Stack (Michaels), sunshine die (large and small), Stitched Mat Rectangles - Lil' Inker Designs, Dienamics Sentiment Strip die - MFT, Enamel Dot - Michaels, foam dots.
Such a fun use of the burlap...I almost picked up some of that but wasn't quite sure how it would hold up to clipping and cutting...looks great!
