Hi
Stampers!!
I
decided to create a card using the Create with Connie and Mary CCMC253 Sketch
and Ann’s CAS Masculine Theme PP146 Challenge at The Paper Players.
Again,
if you have a chance, stop by both sites for wonderful inspiration from their
Design Teams as well as the other entries- great job by all!
We needed to send a sympathy card to my
husband’s co-worker- his father died unexpectedly and he loved to hunt and
fish. I chose to use the retired set, Nature’s Silhouettes along with a simple embossing and sponging technique. They are a very close-knit family and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time of sorrow.
To create this card:
De-static
a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Embossing Buddy® and ink the deer
image using Versamark™ ink. Apply
Stampin’ Emboss® Early Espresso Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool to
melt the powder. Once cooled, repeat the
same steps using the tree image.
Using
a mask created with the 1 ¼” Circle Punch, sponge Crumb Cake Classic Ink for
the sky area and sponge Soft Suede around the edges. Trim and mount onto Early Espresso cardstock
and adhere the focal image onto a banner created from the retired Well Worn
Designer Series Paper (DSP).
Use
the Big Shot™ with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to
emboss a piece of paper (again from the Well Worn DSP) and a piece of So
Saffron cardstock with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folder.
Layer
the banners and add the ½” Soft Suede Taffeta Ribbon bow along with sentiment
to finish off the card.
