Hi again Stampers!
I wanted to participate in a few challenges and chose to create a card using this week's CTS#14 CAS(E) this Sketch! and the colors from this week's CCMC238 Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This is the first time I have been able to participate at the CAS(E) this Sketch! blog and if you have not visited either one of these sites yet, take a few minutes to check them out!! Great ideas and so much inspiration!!
Clean and Simple (CAS) cards are a bit more
difficult for me- not sure why because they should be simple, right? They are quick to assemble once I decide on the design, but I always have to restrain myself from "overworking" them with sponging, distressing and embellishments :-) I truly admire those who are so creative with the CAS style :-)
This card only took ten minutes to create since I was able to incorporate a few scraps
that were already embossed- love being able to pull a card together using scraps :-)
To create this card:
Use the Big Shot™ with the Elegant Lines
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White
cardstock and adhere this to a piece of Island Indigo.
Stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White with
Island Indigo Classic Ink and adhere to the embossed Island Indigo strip (using
the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder).
Ink the smooth side of the interior the
Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder with Calypso Coral Classic
Ink and emboss a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock. Punch out the flower using
the Blossom Punch and add the stamped center created from the medium medallion
stamp in Lacy & Lovely.
Add the Lucky Limeade leaves and pearl
center to the flower to finish off the card.
Stamp Sets:
Lacy & Lovely, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Calypso Coral, Island Indigo
Paper: Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Island Indigo
Accessories: Big Shot™, Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folders- Elegant Lines, Fancy Fan, Lacy Brocade; Punches- Bird Builder, 1 ¼”
Circle, 1 3/8” Circle, Blossom; Pearl
Thanks again for visiting-
have a wonderful week crafting and loving your Valentine!
