Another CQC99 Card-" Lucky Me" for Knowing You

Hi Stampers!  

Here is the second card that I created this evening using the bright primary colors from this week’s CQC99 ColourQ Challenge- if you have not done so yet and have the time, check out their site- they are fabulous! 

To create this card:

The top half of the background uses a piece of Crushed Curry that had been previously embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and the Big Shot™  (the inside of the folder had been inked using a brayer with Island Indigo Classic Ink on the smooth side).  On the lower half of the card, I also used a piece of previously embossed Island Indigo cardstock (with the Houndstooth Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder).  

Using Island Indigo Classic Ink, stamp the floral images from Summer Solstice onto Whisper White cardstock, the leaves onto Old Olive cardstock and the butterfly onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  Carefully cut out around the edges of the images and color the centers of the flowers using the Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write marker (retired).

Assemble the card using a scrap punched with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch from Whisper White, 5/8” Pumpkin Pie Satin Ribbon and finish off with the pearl. 

Stamp Sets:   Summer Solstice
Ink: Island Indigo, Stampin’ Write Marker- Crushed Curry (retired)
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Island Indigo, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Crushed Curry (retired)
 Accessories:  Big Shot™, Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folders- Vintage Wallpaper, Houndstooth, Lace Ribbon Border Punch, 5/8” Pumpkin Pie Satin Ribbon (retired), Pearl

Thanks again for stopping by- if you have time to comment, let me know which of the two cards for the CQC99 Challenge you like the best:-) 

Time for me to get some beauty sleep (boy, do I need it! :-)) - I hope all of you have a blessed weekend (and those of you on the East Coast, please heed the warnings and stay safe)!
