No Pulse Yet

Here is my entry for the VivaLasVegaStamps! April challenge. Check the link for the lovely moodboard. I have been inspired by coffee, coffee spills/rings/splatters and shades of tan and browns.

As soon as the challenge was out, I dug my stash for the trusty coffee ring stamp and a bunch of go-to background stamps. The sentiment from Paperartsy was a perfect match, all the other stamps are from VivaLasVegaStamps (Coffee rings, Ledger, several different stitches). I used the stitches to make the pulse line and stamped the coffee rings with different shades of brown Distress Inks. The stamping continues over the bend in the card, part of the rings and the stitch line have been heat embossed with VLVS Ultra High Gloss Clear embossing powder. To add some texture, I mixed gesso with brown acrylic paint and added stars using a stencil.
