Hi Again Stampers!
There was an unofficial challenge posed on
Splitcoast Stampers for us to use a stamp set that we just “had to have” but have
essentially neglected after purchase. I
have quite a list of stamp sets that I had to have from the catalog and one of
those is Notably Ornate.
I love the style of this set, but for some
reason, have not taken the time to create with it. I decided to use the frame and oval image for
this card and combined it with Artistic Etching and a few other challenges- the
FMS28 Freshly Made Sketch along with the CCMC195 colors from Create with Connieand Mary.
To create this card:
Ink the frame image using Versamark™ ink
onto So Saffron cardstock, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Silver Embossing Powder and
heat emboss with the Heat Tool. Once the
image has cooled, carefully cut around the edges of the frame.
Use a Versamark™ Marker to ink the edges of
the oval stamp from Notably Ornate and repeat the embossing steps above.
Using Poppy Parade ink, stamp the ornate
circle from Artistic Etchings onto another piece of So Saffron and the crown
image in the center of the oval.
Heat emboss the Eiffel Tower from Artistic
Etchings, allow to cool and emboss with the Designer Oval Frame Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder. Carefully cut around the edges of the embossing
folder and the Eiffel Tower.
With the Big Shot™ emboss a piece of Poppy
Parade cardstock with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folder (I inked the smooth interior with Poppy Parade ink prior to embossing) and
emboss a piece of Poppy Parade Designer Series Paper (retired Hostess Level I Paper
Patterns Pack In Color).
Assemble the layers, add the 5/8” Basic
Gray Satin Ribbon bows and Rhinestone to finish off the card.

I love your interpretation, and the colours. Beautiful card, it reminds me of the vividness of "moulin rouge"
ReplyDeleteSo rich and elegant! Very Parisienne! And those bows are luscious!

ReplyDeleteOh, pretty!!! Those bows remind me of a dress I had with black bows down the back...lol! Thanks for playing along with the color challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered this stamp set tonight as I'm a little slow sometimes in keeping up with everyone else. I hope I "make" myself ink it up quicker than you did. Great job on the color challenge. Nice to see you at Create with Connie & Mary!
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty Julie! I have plenty of those kind of sets too! LOL!! You really made it work with these colors - GORGEOUS! Thanks for playing along this week in the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWell, naturally, you rocked it! I agree with Oona...very moulin rouge. It's lovely. I really like the embossing on the images...adds a little sparkle. Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge this week!
