Strength and Hope- Two Challenges in One!

Hi Stampers!

I wanted to create a card with the new stamp set, Strength and Hope (available in April) and decided to use two challenges-

 the SSC196 sketch from Stamping 411(http://www.stamping411.blogspot.com )  

and the colors from this week’s  ColourQ CQC78 (http://colourq.blogspot.com/ ). 

 The Design Teams from both sites have truly outdone themselves, if you have time, check them out!

 To create this card:

Stamp the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel with Early Espresso ink and roll onto Whisper White.  Color with SU! Watercolor pencils and sponge Crumb Cake and Early Espresso ink to tone down the Whisper White.  Stamp the butterfly with Early Espresso ink onto Whisper White and color with the Pink Pirouette marker.  Use 2-Way Glue and Dazzling Diamonds to highlight the butterfly wings, punch the border with the Pinking Hearts Border Punch. 

Use the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper EF to emboss the Certainly Celery background and sponge Early Espresso ink over the embossed areas. Add the 5/8” Early Espresso Satin Ribbon and mount onto Early Espresso.  

Stamp the sentiment and punch out with the Modern Label Punch.  Add the pearls and mount the butterfly with Dimensionals to finish off the card.
