It must have been the roses...skeleton card


I have been following the fun at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  I had the very stamp one of the DT used and it inspired this creation!  I must admit to being nostalgic and thinking of my plans to see Dead & Co next week.  Can you tell? 


I just wrote my sentiment by hand, I don't have the worst hand writing and it contributes to the distressed feel I tried to apply.  I didn't stamp my background solid and complete to begin the look.  I then used my pen spritzer with the Distress Fossilized Amber pen.  I used that pen to color the ribbons in her hair.  I also used a water brush on the roses and one the edges of the card with the Distress Candied Apple pen.  It's kind of hard to see, but from this angle you might can tell I coated the actual "bones" with a white wink of stella pen.

Impression Obsession music background stamp
