Hi Stampers!
I hope all of you are enjoying your weekend!
Before I could
concentrate on creating my swap card for an upcoming quarterly demo meeting held by my upline, I decided to create a
few cards using the colors from this week’s ColourQ CQC112 Challenge (the second card was created for JAI95 “Bah-Humbug” Christmas Challenge).
Again, if you have a
chance, stop by and visit the above challenge sites to check out the gorgeous
Design Team Samples along with all of the other entries- such wonderful
inspiration!
To create the first
card:
Cut a piece of
cardstock from Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and
Early Espresso and adhere to a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Stamp the scroll
image from Creative Elements with Versamark™ ink and heat emboss with Stampin’
Emboss® White Embossing Powder. Attach
the 5/8” Whisper White Satin Ribbon bow, layer into an embossed panel (using
the Finial Press EF) and add the sentiment.
Quick and easy!
Stamp Sets: Creative Elements, Blessings from Heaven
Ink: Versamark®, Cherry
Cobbler
Cardstock: Cherry
Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Accessories: Big Shot™, Finial Press Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder, Embossing Buddy®,
Heat Tool, Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder, 5/8” White Satin Ribbon, Large
Oval Punch
The second card was created with the CQC112 colors and with the Just Add Ink JAI95 “Bah-Humbug” Christmas Challenge in mind- create a Christmas project but with NO Christmas Paper, No Christmas Images (Christmas Sentiment allowed).
To create this landscape
card:
Mask the hill area
and sky using cardstock or repositionable note paper- sponge Daffodil Delight
for the center of the sun area. Remove
the sky mask and place a mask over the sponged sun area. Sponge Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler over
the sky area and drag a bit over the sun (once you remove the mask).
Ink the tree images
with Early Espresso and stamp the line of trees for the background. Stamp the large tree with Versamark™ and heat
emboss using Stampin’ Emboss® Dark Brown Embossing Powder (retired).
Spray the panel with
Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint spray, round the corners and attach the 5/8” Early
Espresso Satin Ribbon bow (retired).
Adhere to an embossed
panel (use the Big Shot™ with the Snow Burst Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folder), mount the sentiment and finish off the card.
