Today my card was one that I created for a magazine submission but... it wasn't picked. :-( It's ok... I get to share it with YOU now!!
My card base is Pure Luxury Sweet Mango. I layered on some Chocolate Brown and a layer of Kraft. I stamped my leaf images from Melanie Muenchinger's, "A Year of Leaves". I stamped the images and colored them with my Copic markers cut each of them out and mounted them using Pop Dots on top of my ribbon. I added my sentiment in the lower corner.
As you can see, I also added my envelope and rubbed the edges with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen. I stamped a few leaves in the corner and one on the back flap also coloring them with Copics.
On the inside I kept it pretty basic as well and used Melanie's "A Year of Borders" and colored them in with Copics as well.
I really liked this card and had hoped it would have gotten picked, but I do know this... it has helped me to gain a little more confidence in submitting and I KNOW I will submit again. :-)
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!! *smile*
