all about brown

I've made a dark brown card based on sketch provided by Unscripted Sketches #85 and also the monochromatic idea from Caardvarks Monochromatic Challenge (the final challenge). It's so bad to hear that this would be the final challenge offered by Caardvarks, where this is only the first time i enter their challenge.

As I don't have any dark brown distress ink at the moment, I used blending tools to blend the Rich Cocoa Memento dye ink on the Natural card stock. Also, the lace border was stamped with rich cocoa ink to create the same color tone.

Supplies
Card Stock: White, Natural (Bazzill)
Patterned Paper: Moof
Ink: Rich Cocoa (Memento)
Edge Punch: Apron Lace (Fiskars)
Corner Punch: Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers)
Sticker: Happy Trails Our Adventure Grand Adhesions (K&Company)
Self-Adhesive Lace Border: from Chui
Ribbon, Buttons: Local craft shop
White Pen: Choose Gel Ink Pen (Pilot)

YaY! My New Tools

There are several new tools adding to my collection this week. The Martha Stewart's bone folder that I purchased from ebay last month has safely arrived on Tuesday. I was so surprised that it is far more beautiful than I saw it through Internet. All those printed flowers and blink elements on the bone folder are so nice.


Besides, I have bought two punches and some patterned papers at Smidapaper's new store last week. The new store is just AWESOME!! I wish I could possess all the products in the store awwww...

The rule of "Tag Along" challenge is to create a tag that must include cream, green or light blue colour along with at least one vintage inspired element.

Once again, this is the first time I tried to make a tag. I created the tag with vintage look by using Ranger blending tools and distress inks. Also, the lace and pearls are added to bring out a vintage feel.
