It's Round 2 for me as this months Just Us Girls Guest Designer and this week it is a technique challenge! It's called "ghosting" and you can find the tutorial HERE. I decided to use the FTL164 layout and the PTI Tag Its #7 mini stamp set to make my card this week.
I started off by using the PTI woodgrain impression plate on the PTI kraft card base. I considered buying that impression plate for a long time, but I am so glad I did. Now I can't step away from it! I used Tim Holtz distress inks in tea dye and walnut stain and and I matted the image with PTI white CS. I stamped the cicular image in SU chocolate chip and cajun craze and added a strip of PTI dark chocolate CS to complete the card.
Now it's your turn to play along with us! Link up your creations on the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog and if you upload your card to an online gallery like Splitcoast Stampers, be sure to label it with the keyword JUGS110!
