Lucky

For my Design Team post for SP & Co I decided to use this new Lucky stamp. And since the current Stamping with Sami challenge (SWS #8) is to use a distressed technique, I did that too to play along.

 I stamped my background using the Bold Houndstooth background stamp in Crushed Olive Distress Ink. I then aged the white paper with Old Paper ink and inked the edges in Pumice Stone ink.

I stamped the clover in Forest Moss and inked the edge with Crushed Olive and matted with a scrap of aged brown paper. All the edges of paper were distressed before being adhered together.

I then stamped the sentiment in Black Soot on a long stip of textured cardstock. I cut out the notches on the ends, inked the edges with Pumice Stone, and folded it into a scroll banner. Then I adhered with foam to give it dimension and added the green I-rock bling to add a bit more flair.

 And here is my distressed Lucky card! Thanks for stopping by.
