OWH MWT & FCCB challenges

This week's Midweek throwdown at OWH is to make a No-Sentiment card.  I often end up with cards like this when I finish a card and there's no rule that says you HAVE to have a sentiment for every card.

 

I'm packing up for a scrap retreat this weekend and my Distress Inks weren't packed up yet, so that's what I used.  I started out with a Hero Arts diamond background stamp, which I stamped with Versamark ink and then embossed in white.  Next, I sprayed the image with Perfect Pearls mist and dried it with my heat gun.

 

Taking it another step, I used Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink to bring out the diamonds.  I cut a tag from the Cricut Celebrations cartridge and stamped Inkadinkado Fleur-de-Lis stamps, embossing them with Antique Gold embossing powder.  I used Aged Mahogany and Walnut Stain distress inks on my tag.

 

Whew!  What a lot of inking!  I finished my tag off with an antique brad and button paper that I distressed.  I think the card is a bit bulky now, so it will be an Any Hero card instead of one that can be mailed home.

 

Voila!  Here it is:

My fingers are all inky now!  I really enjoyed making this card and I appreciate your kind comments.
