Gorgeous Grunge Splatters

And for today I am sharing another sample stamped for Convention. For the background panel all the splatters are stamped with the same image from Gorgeous Grunge inked in So Saffron, Gumball Green, Marina Mist, and Crisp Cantaloup. The greeting is from one of my new favorite stamp sets, Really Good Greetings and I used Jet Black Staz On to get a solid crisp and dark image. I mixed three embossing folders for a fun textural look and hand punched my own arrows with a 1" square punch. I thought you might want to know that I first finished the card with a pair of Basic Rhinestones framed by the arrow clip, then when a pack of Candy Dots arrived in my first new catalog order I quickly did a bit of editing. I deep sixed the ribbon tie and rhinestones and then added a So Saffron and a Marina Mist Candy Dot. Then the card was ready to send to SU!.
