I have recently discovered Core'dinations fabulous card stock, I love that the plain card stock can be changed with a swipe of some sand paper or a simple roll through an embossing machine.For this layout I decided to go neutral with a touch of colour and used some cream small dot cardstock from the Jenni Bowlin collection. I have sanded the card stock here and there for a bit of a rustic feel.
For my second layout I decided to go tone on tone and used some core essentials cardstock in seaweed and touches of leapfrog
Don't you just love that truck button from
Lilredrocket buttons. To create the circles first I punched out 5 circles from the card stock and to add some interest punched 3 circles from some co-ordinating pattern paper.
Then I grabbed four different embossing folders and embossed the circles in my cuttlebug.
Finally I used some sand paper and sanded over the embossed edges and around the edges of the circles. When I put my layout together I raised some circles with pop dots to add depth and interest.
For my final layout I decided to use some Jenni Bowlin studio vintage brights collection cardstock, It matched my school theme perfectly. I used my sand paper to distress the letters and numbers that were already embossed on the cardstock.
I also added some cosmo cricket woodgrain collection and core essentials cardstock which I sanded with my sand paper.I added some clear acrylic letters over some of the embossed letters to highlight them. To create the raw distressed edges of my cardstock, I used my scissors and quite vigorously rubbed up and down against the edges, I didn't mind if parts of my cardstock ripped either.
