Kinkade in Taupe

Published by trudee at 7:58 pm under Card Designs, Thomas Kinkade

I have one final Kinkade design to share with you! I wanted to do a monochromatic/tonal card, and combine it with another one of the fabulous new Cornish Heritage Farms backgrounders…Tree Bark.

Love is the Bridge

I was inspired by the curves under the Cobblestone Bridge for they layout of this card. It’s a simple design that is easily duplicated! I stamped the Tree Bark on kraft cardstock using Ancient Page chocolate ink. Then, without re-inking it, I stamped it again~moving it slightly to the left. This gave it a three-dimensional effect.

The focal image is simply stamped with Clearsnap’s Vivid! taupe ink on stamper’s select (Papertrey) cardstock, matted with choc chip, with chocolate brads added. I used a salad plate to trace the semicircle on close to cocoa cardstock, distressed and sponged the edge, and added some faux stitching.

I hope you enjoyed my series of sneak peeks! Be on the lookout for the release of these images SOON!!

Thanks for stopping by!!! Hugs! :D

    Just love this, I think just as much or more than the ones painted, the bg you chose for it is so cool!

    This is my favorite TK card you’ve done so far! The image is so crisp and gorgeous. The backgrounder almost looks like someone has drawn back a drape to reveal the sentiment. Very nice effect!
