Urban grunge..


I'm here today with a card that is totally different from my usual style.. :) I like everything nice and neat. But like I said in my earlier post, I'm evolving as a crafter and I'm loving it :)

Black is a colour I usually use only for my stamping but today I decided to use it as my CS base. 

Lets take a look.. :)


The bloom is handmade :) loved loved the chunky glitter I got from Itsy bitsy. Then used an argyle embossing folder and my distress paints (gold, silver, brass) to create a PP of sorts. Tore away the edges after sizing, and distressed with walnut stain/antique Linen inks. Rather liked the effect it created.. :) 

A close up of the pretty flower :)





The stamp used on the side is from hero arts definitions watermarked and embossed in white. The sentiment is from hero arts all occasions stamped with memento rich cocoa.





Entering into the following challenge-


Hope ya'll liked my new style :) leave us some love ;)
