Hi Stampers!
This weekend has been a wonderful so far celebrating birthdays in
our family (three birthday celebrations this week) :-)).
Today we celebrated my twin nieces 18th birthday (I will be posting their cards later this evening) but wanted to share the
card I created for my stepmother- we will be celebrating her later today :-)
I decided to use the ColourQ CQC208 Color Challenge along with
the fabulous PPA173 Pals Paper Arts Sketch and the Just Add Ink JAI184 “Just AddBows” Challenge (again, I hope you will take the time to visit each challenge
site- amazing Design Team samples as well as other entries!! :-)).
To create this card:
In My Digital Studio (MDS), open a blank 8.5 x 11 custom page and
insert the stamp image Pleasant Poppies and resize. Print the image using your computer printer
and punch out with the 2 ½” Circle Punch.
Punch another circle from Basic Black cardstock using the 2 ½”
Circle Punch, cut in half.
Color the image using SU! Watercolor Pencils and adhere the
Basic Black pieces to the outside edge to give a frame to the Poppies. Adhere to a Chalk Talk Frame (created with
the Big Shot™ and the Chalk Talk Framelits™ from Basic Black cardstock), add
the row of Pearls at the bottom edge of the frame along with the banners from
Real Red Designer Series Paper (DSP).
Add the 5/8”Basic Black Satin Ribbon bow and adhere the
sentiment (from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamped in Basic Black Classic Ink onto
Whisper White cardstock, punched with the Word Window Punch and adhered to a
Basic Black frame punched from the Modern Label Punch).
Use the Big Shot™ along with the Pretty Prints Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White and adhere it
to the Basic Black card base.
Add the vertical strip of Basic Black cardstock along with the
Real Red DSP , adhere the focal image and add the Pearls to the sentiment and
at the top of the tag frame to finish off the card.
