The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - Anything Goes

Hi everyone!  It's time for another challenge from The Sisterhood of Crafters.  Vickie is our host this week and it's an Anything Goes.  I do love those anything goes challenges as you can share whatever you are working on.  So, create something beautiful and share it with us on the challenge.  We'd love to have you join us.

It's no surprise that I've once again used those addictive Distress Oxide inks.  I took an afternoon last week and created several different backgrounds so I'd have some ready to use at a moment's notice.  This is one.  I love the way those colors blended so well together.  With trees being a favorite of mine, I had to use a long neglected stamp set called Build A Tree by from Fiskars.  It has all the different little images for the four seasons so you just might see more of it in the future.

For this one, I decided not to make a card but put it in a frame.  I love the way it looks with the silver of the frame.  Now do I want to keep it for my desk or gift it to someone.  Decisions, decisions! 


Stamp Sets:  Build A Tree (Fiskars), Colorful Seasons - sentiment; Distress Oxide Inks:  Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade, Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick; Inks:  Basic Black Archival, Garden Green; Cardstock:  Watercolor Paper (Strathmore), Whisper White; Other:  Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  Stampin' Up! product used unless otherwise noted.

  4. Gorgeous, Marsha! I learned a lot from your beautiful creation - one of which is that Fiskars makes stamps?!? I had no idea! Lovely combination of colors. I am weakening on the DOx inks!! (And I vote that you keep your wonderful framed artwork!)

    1. Thanks, Debbie! You'll love the oxide inks once you try them. I attended a class that featured the inks and that's when I decided I had to have a set of my own.

    1. Thanks, Heather, for your kind comment. It just didn't look right as a card so I framed it.
