Simply Textured …
Today’s card project was made for this week’s “Stamp Simply” challenge. This time around, Sharon questioned that we make a project with lots of texture. Texture can come in any form, such as embossing, distressing, adding embellishments for dimension — whatever you like — to make some fun texture in your creation.
To play along, and we hope that you will, clicky HERE to go to Sharon’s post for all the challenging deets … and to view her simply incredible textured project.
After you’ve posted your textured project to your blog, add a direct link to your project using Sharon’s Mr. Linky, located HERE. If you upload your project to a public gallery, such as Splitcoast Stampers, please use keyword: “ssnotime131.”
Here’s a look at my card:
This card is a lot simpler than it looks: my vintage-inspired collage stamp has done most of the work for me! All that was left for me to do was to make some texture.
I made most of the texture using A2 embossing folders; once on my background DP, and again on my distressed flower. I added a bit of machine stitching, a vintage button, and lots of recycled natural jute twine. Simple-peasy!
For the ginormous view of my card, clicky on the photo. For all of the lumpy product info, check out the Card Recipe, below.

Soooooooo, yesterday I was hangin’ out with Sheila and since we both received our Census forms, we simply had to talk that up.
“Whaddya reckon about all those prison questions on the form?” I questioned Sheila.
“I wonder. You’d reckon the government would know how many people they have in their prisons. Or maybe they know something we don’t. Or, maybe they don’t know something and hope we do!” Sheila responded.
Uh. Oh. That can’t be excellent …
