Let's Craft Together Blog Hop - Rustic Style

Welcome to the monthly Blog Hop by Let’s Craft Together and thank you for joining us. We are a group of multi-cultural Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship though our love of stamping and our admiration of each other’s style of crafting.

The challenge this month is to make a card in the Rustic style, which tends to be characterised by natural, organic, distressed or aged elements. I always reach for earthy tones for rustic cards and often distress the edges or crumple elements on the card. 

For this challenge I thought the Country Woods DSP pack would be great to have as my starting point. I decided to create a frame by using my trimmer to cut a rectangle from the centre and raising it on Dimensionals.  The flower images are stamped in Saddle Brown StazOn ink and coloured with my Blender Pen picking up small amounts of Pecan Pie for the petals, and Crumb Cake for the leaves. I purposefully kept the embellishments to a minimum, only using two of the Loose Frosted Dots coloured with Dark Crumb Cake Blends. 

Time to hop onto the next blog in the list below and see what the rest of the team have created for this Rustic Style Challenge. 

Happy Stamping
