Hi everyone, today I have my weekly DT make for Papermilldirect, an Autumn card made using their new Hopsack Textured card. The texture made me think of artist canvas and I will be using it to create a few wall hangings later in the month.
I love Autumnal shades and used distress inks in various colours on a strip of Hopsack card , stamped a large leaf across the strip and embossed with copper embossing powder, mounted this onto a strip of Mocha Brown then onto a square of the white Hopsack card. The panel was attached to a card blank made with the Mocha Brown card. Suede cord was tied round and through a button and a sentiment added to finish.
Here are a few Christmas cards made this week, this is the time of year I start making my cards. I usually make CAS cards which are easy to batch make but this year I have quite a few more fussy cards made.
I have a cute robin die and had to add it to this CAS buff and white card.
Colouring on textured card can be difficult, I used distress crayons to colour the robin and blended distress inks on the Autumn panel which filled the uneven surface wonderfully.
Hi Sylvia all your cards are stunning. Take care. Hugs Jackie
