Just Us Girls Word Week #422 - Anything Goes

Hello friends!  I am so thrilled to have been chosen to be a guest designer for the Just Us Girls Challenge for the month of January.  The first challenge for 2018 is Word Week: Anything Goes and is a great way to kick off the new year!  Here is my card for this challenge:

Creative Nugget:  Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo Oxide Inks were sponged onto a panel of mixed media paper which was cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die by Our Daily Bread Designs.  The same inks were applied directly to one of the grass images from a new set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, spritzed with water and stamped over the sponging. The flying birds from the Scene Silhouettes: Woodland stamp set were added to the sky and jute twine was wrapped around the panel.  The sentiment from the Keep in Touch, Too stamp set also by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps was heat embossed on the bottom of the panel before mounting it to the card front.  The same oxide inks plus Abandoned Coral were applied directly to the back of a TH embossing folder, spritzed with water and pressed, but not embossed, to another piece of mixed media paper.  This was cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die and spritzed with Perfect Pearls to give a little shimmer before stamping the grasses in Jet Black Archival ink.  The panel was mounted to the card with Fun Foam and a few sequins added to finish the card.
