Calendar Girls Postcard for Pat

This month I am making a postcard for Pat and I thought I would try something different and decided to use card stock for my September Calendar Girls Postcard.
The stamp I used is from Sunday International that I have had for several years and only used once--not because I didn't like it but that I forgot that I had it.
I have nearly 100 stamps and when I sit down to make cards do I ever use them?----no-- I go ahead and make collaged cards.
Why do I buy them?----because I like them of course.
Anyway I digress.






The base of the card started out a yellow/gold colour and then I started using my Distress inks to alter the colour.
I used the colours Tea Dye--Black Soot and Marmalade.
I stamped the image on the base card with black ink.






I also stamped it onto a piece of green cardstock and cut out the leaves and stems.
I stamped some flowers with Fired Brick Distress ink to colour them and cut them out.



I then added some foam mount circles so that they would be raised up on the card



I glued the green pieces onto the card over the same image and added the flowers as you can see in the first photo




Oh and I forgot to say that I sprayed the base--leaves and flowers with some Moonshadow mist colours as well.
I hope you like it Pat when you see it in the flesh.
