I combined two challenges in making a card this morning: Splitcoast's Try a New Techinique "Follow The Edge" and PTI's Make It Monday "Ink Blending."
I first stamped PTI's Through the Trees tree using A Muse's French Roast and Fern ink, then clear embossed them. I then used the Fern ink, along with A Muse's Sky ink, to ink up the background. The sentiment, from PTI's All Booked Up, was stamped in French Roast. I cut out the side (for the "Follow the Edge" challenged, adhered it to the Dark Chocolate base, then cut the base to match. I wanted the inside to look book-y, so I added some Antique Linen distress ink to the edges, then stamped PTI's Text Style I using SU Crumb Cake ink. I used PTI's Mat Stack 1 die as a mask for the PTI Enjoy The Ride birthday sentiment (you can see the inside on my blog: http://corgi-creations.blogspot.com/...nded-edge.html )
