September 1, 2017 House of Cards Challenge


It is already the 1st of September - where has the summer gone???  Way too fast for me.  This months challenge over at House of Cards is pictured below, I chose to go with add text to your image.  


And here is my finished project for September which was "Add text".  



As you can see I am way out of my comfort zone with this tag - I choose this tag because of all the text it had on it.  I then colored up a NEW stamp from Local King Rubber out of Canada.  Very unique stamps - saw this company at Collinsville IL. rubber stamp convention, and fell in love with the images and the way to color them.  I got a set of peacock stamps which included the beautiful feather, I also got the dies that go with this set.  I then used distress oxide inks to color my tag with then did some water splatters and some black paint splatters, then I went to work on embellishing some blue/green lace, lots of bling some stenciling - like I said way far away from my comfort zone.  But this seems to be popular now with the distress inks so tried my hand. 

Won't you play along with out challenge this month over at the House of Cards  using either the color combo or text to your image.  Looking forward to seeing what you create.
