Stamp #4

The MFT sketch 157 can be used as a jump off point.  This is what my card ended up being.  Classic card, simple design, works a gazillion ways.  Thanks to MFT for providing us with great sketches all year long.  Simon Says NEW challenge.  My two favorite stamping sites.  The new on here is all of the stamps used.  I just did receive the Wood Grain Background stamp from MFT though, right after Christmas so that’s pretty new. 

This is also Stamp #4 of my journey through my stamps.  This is an old MFP and sentiment.  I don’t know if they still carry these or not.  The sentiment I know is part of the Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy set. 
Thought process:  Use MFT sketch 157, do something kind of golden, use up this BG paper that has been sitting on my desk since before Christmas.

I started out by using MFT Woodgrain Back Ground stamp in creamy caramel.  Then stamped image in Memento brown on top of it.  Ripped the edges and antiqued them with Tea Dye Tim Holtz Distress ink.  Sprayed it with home made glitter spray.  Added the brads.  Thought it needed a larger kind of sentiment on the front. Stamped it first in Chocolate chip and then again in Versafine.  It looked a bit “dead”.  I scribbled SU markers on my craft pad and water brushed some color onto the bridge and onto the truck.  Tiny attacher for ribbon and added dimensionals to both pieces as I adhered them to the card.
