Hi Stampers!
Here it is again, another
long week has passed and I have not had a chance to stamp a card for a
challenge- I am having withdrawal symptoms :-)!
I decided to take a break from making my bulk Christmas cards to create
a quick easy Clean and Simple card using the bright fun colors for this week’s CQC115 ColourQ Challenge along with
the FM15 sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches. 
To create this card:
Ink the Triple Treat
Flower with Real Red Classic ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock (stamp
a total of four flowers in Real Red).
Clean the stamp and stamp the flower again onto Whisper White using Regal Rose Classic Ink. After cleaning
the stamp one more time, use a Glorious Green Stampin’ Write marker to ink up the
center of the Triple Treat Flower stamp and stamp onto a scrap piece of Whisper
White.
Use the Fancy
Flower punch to punch out all of the Triple Treat flowers in Real Red. Punch out the five petal area of the Regal Rose flower
using the 5-Petal Flower Punch and punch out the Glorious Green center using the ½”
Circle Punch.
Cut one of the Real
Red flowers in half and adhere the halves at an angle onto Whisper White cardstock. Adhere two of the remaining flowers onto the
Whisper White cardstock as well (this creates the angled layer for the
sketch). Use the Big Shot™ with the
Square Lattice Textured Impressions ™ Embossing Folder to embed the flowers
into the background.
Assemble the final
Real Red flower with the Regal Rose petal section and Glorious Green center onto a piece of
Glorious Green (embossed with the Finial Press Textured Impressions ™ Embossing
Folder). Add the Green Galore leaves (created with the
5-Petal Flower punch and a score line up the center of each leaf). Mount this panel onto Real Red cardstock, add
the 5/8” Real Red Satin Ribbon, Sentiment Label and Rhinestone to finish off
the card.
