Hi Stampers!!
I just love the
creative CCMC263 Sketch at Create with Connie and Mary and the gorgeous CQC201 Challenge at this week’s ColourQ.
If you
have not had a chance to check out these sites yet, I encourage you to do so-
wonderful examples by all!
To create this card:
Ink the line art
images from Field Flowers using Basic Gray Classic Ink and stamp the flowers
and bud onto piece of Calypso Coral
Designer Series Paper (I used a piece
from the This and That Epic Day DSP pack).
Carefully cut out the images and using a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write
marker, highlight the petals and centers.
Stamp the stems of the flowers using Basic Gray onto a piece of Soft Sky cardstock. Ink the En Francais background stamp using Night of Navy Classic Ink and stamp off twice before stamping onto the piece of Soft Sky cardstock (over stamping the stem images). .
Stamp the stems of the flowers using Basic Gray onto a piece of Soft Sky cardstock. Ink the En Francais background stamp using Night of Navy Classic Ink and stamp off twice before stamping onto the piece of Soft Sky cardstock (over stamping the stem images). .
Ink the line art image of the large floral stamp from Field Flowers (of course, clean before inking :-)) using Calypso Coral Classic Ink and stamp off before stamping randomly onto the Soft Sky background.
Cut the images to the
sketch and mount onto Night of Navy cardstock (*** Note *** I used a 1 3/8" Cirlce Punch to round the corners of the lower piece but it did not work well on the Night of Navy layer since I tried to round off after I adhered the stamped panel, so I cut by hand...should have rounded the piece before adheriing the stamped panel :-)).
Use the Big Shot™
with the Herringbone Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece
of Whisper White cardstock, trim to size and adhere to a piece of Night of Navy
cardstock.
Adhere the entire
panel to the Soft Sky card base, add the sentiment layer, pearls, paper bow and
Antique Brad to finish off the card.
***NOTE***- The Paper Bow is very easy to make- 1).Punch out two Large Ovals from the retired Travel Log DSP and gently roll these two ovals in half and secure with a Mini Glue Dot at the end to hold together, 2). Cut a small rectangular strip of DSP and adhere the two "folded" ovals toward one another to form the "bow" leaving a small space in between, 3). Cut two additional strips approx. the width of the bow- in this case approx 3/4" wide and use the 1" Square Punch to create the banner points on one end and hand cut to a point on the other end, 4). Addhere these two strips behind the small rectangular strip under the bow to form the tails and 5). Add the Antique Brad to the center to finihs off the bow. Add to the card using Mini Glue Dots- easy and you can enlarge your bow by using a larger oval punch :-)
Add the hand cut flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and add highlights using the White Gel Pen ( I just followed the lines in the center of the flower and along the edges with the Gel Pen :-)).
