A piece of dictionary paper was wrinkled up, torn, and sponged with earthy colors to age it a bit. A circle stain was added along with some green and orange splatter. Once aged and stained, it was adhered to a green card base. A piece of burlap was adhered. The sentiment was handwritten. A piece of hemp was tied around the top of the card.
The flower pot and flowers were drawn freehand and fussy cut. They were backed with Dimensionals. The stems and leaves were drawn directly on the paper. The corners of the card base were rounded. The inside was lined with a panel of white cardstock and decorated with a zig-zag border.

ReplyDeleteI thought when you said Grunge, you meant Grinch LOL. You make grungy look fantastic, and your artwork is pretty darn good...I almost took it for a stamp. Another great card. Good luck in the challenge.
