I am dedicating this card to my dear friend Annie P. She was so sweet, at our last quarterly meeting she won the train track wheel. Her boy is well....grown, she has no grandkids and wasn't sure what to do with the wheel! So on the way home we discussed other used for this wheel so when I used it on this card I knew I had to dedicate it to her....the train track fence!
The colours on this card are More Mustard, Dusty Durango and Basic Black. The background cardstock was run through the Big Shot with a texture plate. Yes, I am hiding the polka dots on the Dusty Durango ribbon (can you believe it???).
The image itself is stamped in versamark and then they are all embossed with black embossing powder. The background was done on Whisper White cardstock using my brayer. I used Summer Sun, More Mustard and Dusty Durango ink to get that effect. I brayered on each colour seperately (cleaning off the brayer in between). The greeting is punched out with the Word Window and layered on the modern label punch. The More Mustard brads are layered on a 1/4 inch Basic Black circle. I hope you like it!!!! I'll be back tomorrow with something maybe a little less festive (maybe:) Take care.
How fun is this! Love the idea of using the brayer for the sunset effect & the color combo is perfect for a fall/halloweenie night!
Stampin' Smiles from Ear to Ear,
Ann :)

Wow, Heather!!! So many techniques on this card. I love the colour combination. Could you do a class on it?
P.S.: Thanks for another use for the train track.
