CQC109 Thanks!

REVISED CARD WITH THE COLOURQ CHALLENGE COLORS

Hi Stampers! 

I was not totally pleased with the way the radish card (see details below) turned out using the CQC109 colors so I decided to take off the vanilla satin ribbon and front panel to salvage the card (I will save the front panel and ribbon for another card in the future). 

This is a basic "Clean and Simple" (CAS) card and was extremely easy-I already had the layered embossed panels, so I added a few punched embossed squares and a bit of ribbon, stamped the Triple Treat Flower in Pumpkin Pie and Island Indigo Classic Ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and used the coordinating floral punches to punch out the flowers, added a pearl for the center and viola the card is finished! 

Stamp Sets:  Triple Treat Flower, Absolutely Fabulous

Ink: Island Indigo, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Very Vanilla , Island Indigo, Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler

 Accessories:  Big Shot™, Embossing Buddy®, Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Folder, Punches- 1 1/4" Square, Fancy Flower and 5-Petal , 5/8” Pumpkin Pie Satin Ribbon (retired), Pearls


I hope this inspires you to remember that there are no mistakes in stamping- just learning experiences :-)  Experiment and have fun!!




ORIGINAL CARD SUBMITTED TO THE COLOURQ


Hi Stampers! 

I decided to create a card using the colors from this week’s CQC109 ColourQ Challenge are a great combination- love the retro feel!  Again, the Design Team and other entries look fabulous- if you have the chance, check them out!    

Since I had the embossing gun out from my last card, I decided to incorporate embossing into this card as well….

To create this card:

Ink the background stamp, Well Worn with Soft Suede Classic Ink and stamp onto Very Vanilla.  De-static the Very Vanilla with the Embossing Buddy®, stamp the radish image with Versamark® ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Clear Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool.   Use Sponge Daubers to apply Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Island Indigo Classic ink to the image.  Gently wipe off the embossed image, trim and spray with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (mixed with 70% alcohol).

Stamp the sentiment with Island Indigo and assemble the layers.  Add the 5/8” Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon bow and pearls to finish off the card. 

This card really sparkles in real life and was a bit difficult to photograph:-)  I hope you like it!  

Stamp Sets:  Homegrown, Retired Sets- Well Worn (background), Absolutely Fabulous
