On the rogue redhead blog, Shar has challenged us to use pencils on kraft. ahem, hello!! how am I supposed to resist that one?
So I have made my card using Shar's stamps from Rogue redhead designs (relish reading plate) to make this card, which is also for The Kraft Jounal's "a walk in my garden theme"
The trick I use to achieve a sepia effect on kraft card, is to stamp the image in brown (versafine vintage sepia) and to make the images stand out, I always make sure I include white somewhere in the colouring.
To enhance this card I've added some touches of summer flower soft, it goes so well with this technique
Remember Rogue redhead stamps are now also available from StampDiva
FABBYLICIOUS card Joanne and a great tip about the white too
