Good morning! What an exciting day today is! The JustRite gals have teamed up with the gals from the Samantha Walker Design Team to highlight Samantha's gorgeous stamps! For my card today, I used Samantha's Pattern Basics set. I stamped the diamond pattern twice using Versamark ink and embossed it in white on kraft card stock. I used my Tim Holtz Distress markers to color each diamond in. A trick when coloring each diamond is to outline the left side of the diamond, then take your water brush and "drag" the color into the center. This gives areas of dark and light to add depth to the card. I cut out the diamond shape and adhered it to another panel of kraft card stock. The edges were inked in a bit of white.
Pearls were added to dress it up a bit. I also colored a Recollections wooden flower with the markers, hand cut 3 leaves, and added that to the sentiment. Speaking of the sentiment, the thank you is from Samantha's French Frills set. It was also embossed in white and cut into a strip to add to the the front of the card.
The inspiration continues with both design teams! Be sure to hop on over to these talented girls' blogs!
