I wanted to create a masculine CAS birthday
card and decided to incorporate this week’s PP118 The Paper Players “Framed”CAS Challenge along with the Stampin’ Up! Only SUO56 "Animals" theme and the
FMS58 Sketch at Freshly Made Sketches- a "trifecta" so to speak :-)
Again, if you have not visited these
challenge sites, they provide wonderful inspiration each week and I hope that
you have a chance to visit them and play along as well:-).
To
create this card:
Stamp the wolf image using Early Espresso
Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and punch out using the 1 3/8” Circle
Punch. Punch two other circles with the
same punch from Night of Navy, overlap slightly and adhere behind the Very
Vanilla focal image to produce a small “frame”.
Use the Big Shot™ with the Labels
Collection Framelits™ and cut a piece of Early Espresso Core’dinations
cardstock and Very Vanilla cardstock.
Cut the Very Vanilla layer in half and trim off the points (this piece
will layer behind the Early Espresso layer).
Use the Big Shot™ with the Woodgrain Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss the Early Espresso die cut framelit™ (created
in the step above) and a piece of Comfort Café DSP. Lightly sand both pieces to expose the core
of the cardstock.
The Night of Navy layer was created from a
previously embossed piece (using the retired Snow Burst EF)- love those scraps!! :-)
Add the layers, the brads on the frame, the
bit of knotted Hemp and the sentiment banners to finish off the card.
