I got my newest collection of Ranger Mica Sprays, so I combined them with a few existing ones to create lots of backgrounds on watercolor paper and kraft cardstock.
After they dried, I combined them with stamps from Impression Obsession and some wooden leaves I had in my stash to make a group of cards.
The first one is for the Addicted to Stamps Birthday Challenge using the Sunday Stamps Sketch.
I love the combination of the two backgrounds. Sentiment is Impression Obsession Typewriter Slimline Shorts.
The next one is for the Can You Handle the Pressure? Challenge with a twist of fall. I embossed the sprayed panel with a Darice Fall Leaf Background Embossing Folder and then inked the raised texture with orange ink.
The sentiment is from the same Impression Obsession Typepwriter Slimline Shorts stamp set (I love that slightly wonky typewriter font and the set has so many options).
The next one positioned the leaves on top of the Impression Obsession Burlap Die Cut from Kraft cardstock.
This sentiment is from Impression Obsession The Skinny.
I'm linking-up my next card at the Country View Challenge Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness.
Sentiment is Impression Obsession Watch the Leaves … and I added a vintage button to ground my wooden leaves.
My final card features another vintage button together with a sentiment from Impression Obsession Maple Set.
The simplicity of the design shows off the quote to its best effect, a great make! Thanks for playing with us at Country View Challenges this month!
