Off the Wall


Off the Wall. Outside of the Box. That's is how I roll, that's how the cookie crumbles. I was inspired by the inspiration photo from Off the Wall Craftiness to create this much needed Thank You. Still practicing my misting skills....Here I misted the paper first, embossed the white flourishes (which are really peacock feathers!) and adhered a sentiment panel misted in another color.




Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Georgia Pacific
Stamps: (Magical Moments) Wplus9
Ink: (Watermark) Versamark
Embellishments: (Sticker Sentiment) SRM Stickers
Other: (Dragonfly and Sugar Maple Mist) Tattered Angels, available at Practicing Creativity Designs, (White Embossing Powder) Stampin' Up!, Black Thread

  4. So fun! I tried this same technique last week, but I'm still not, completely, in love with the outcome. Mine turned out a little too modern for my liking. I'm an old fashioned, country girl! Yours is fabulous, though. LOVE that blue and kraft together!
