Life Unscripted

I am taking an amazing online card class called Inspiration Showcase.  It's day two, and I have learned so much from Jennifer McGuire!  The past couple of days, she has been demonstrating resist techniques, and I had an idea right away.  I used the card sketch at Frosted Designs as a jumping point for this card (click on the link to find the sketch).

I wanted to not only use the emboss resist technique, but I wanted to make sure this card had a vintage and distressed feel for the Shopping Our Stash challenge.   I used a bamboo cardstock base, and I stamped some weeds with Versamark.  If you look closely (just click on the picture), I also have two small circles with weeds.  I used white embossing powder mixed with a very teensy bit of prisma glitter.  I tried something very different and sprinkled flecks of the embossing powder toward the bottom of the card.  Not enough to be defined, but rather to look like splatters.  After embossing, I sponged the front with goldrush ink and the edges with chocolate.  Next time I will try more sprinkled flecks, but for my first try, I loved the look!  This card front was attached to a clear scalloped card.It's always so much fun to try something new!!
