Hi Again Stampers!
Wow- this may be a first
for me (three posts in one day :))! I
wanted to create a card using the CQC184 ColourQ Challenge along with the
Create with Connie and Mary CCMC247 Sketch Challenge. Again, if you have the time, check out both
sites for wonderful inspiration!
To create this card:
Use the Embossing Buddy® to
de-static a piece of Basic Black cardstock and stamp the image from Flowering
Flourishes using Versamark™ ink. Apply
Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder
and heat with the Heat Tool.
Once
cooled, softly sponge White Craft ink over the image to give the appearance of
erased chalk, color over the embossing with SU! Metallic Pencils and add
shadows with the White Stampin’
Up! Watercolor Pencil.
Use the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch
on a piece of Going Grey DSP to create the border in the sketch and adhere to
the back of the panel.
Use the Big Shot™ to emboss
a piece of Vellum with the Lacy Brocade
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and adhere to the Blushing Bride layer
using Two-Way Glue.
Mount the embossed Blushing
Bride layer onto Basic Black cardstock and add the focal image with Stampin’
Dimensionals®.
Create the rolled flowers
using the 1 1/4” and 7/8” Scallop Circle Punches (just punch the scallops out
of the Blushing Bride and Whisper White cardstock, cut wavy spirals using Paper
Snips along the edges and spiraling towards the center, roll from the outside
towards the center and adhere to the small piece of cardstock in the middle) -
see the Splitcoaststampers’ tutorial here.
Add the Vellum sentiment
banner and Pearls to finish off the card.
