This weeks theme is choosen by Francesca and is

Food and Drink.

Our sponser this week is The Stamping Boutique and the prize for the lucky winner is 3 Digi images of their choice. So go on and enter your card, you never know you may be the lucky one. Now on to my card. I have gone for a sepia collage type card, somthing I am having a new try at because I never seems to have much success with before, on a drink theme. The design is put on a landscape card with a simple stamp of leaves and grapes along the top stamped in Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut stain.

The rest of the images have been stamped, also using Walnut Stain, on to watercolour card. Then the have just had a little shading added using a brush and water. The Vineyard scene has just been cut out as a rectangle but the scalloped circle has been cut with a Spellbinder Die. They have then been distressed aroung the edge. The bottle and glass have just been cut out.

I have the taken 3 one inch squares of stampbord. I have inked up the stamp using Stazon Timber Brown, then choosing and interesting piece of the picture and with the stamp laying face up on your desk place the piece of stampbord on to that spot. I have done one square on each of the three stamps. I have then coloured them in using Whispers pens to add a bit of colour and make them sand out from the background. They are then placed of the background image so that the line up exactly. A simple sentiment layered onto chocolate coloured card finished this card off.
