Hi Stampers!
This past week, Anne Marie
Hile celebrated a milestone birthday and I wanted to create a card in her honor for the Dynamic Duos Happy Birthday Surprise Linky Party for Anne Marie!
I met Anne Marie a few
years ago through my Guest Designer spot on The Paper Players and have always admired
her artwork! Now I get to
interact with her weekly again through the Dynamic Duos Design Team- I am so thrilled!
Anne Marie loves pink so I
decided to incorporate some shades of pink in the card and use the CCMC277Sketch for the layout. I hope you will
have the time to visit the Dynamic Duos site (scroll down a bit past the new
challenge to see all of the other cards for Anne Marie) as well as the Create with Connie and Mary site!
To create
this card:
Use an
AquaPainter™ to apply a light coat of Pool Party Classic Ink onto a piece of
Whisper White cardstock.
Allow to dry
and stamp the Notable Notions script image over the background as well as the
stem from Field Flowers using Early Espresso Classic Ink.
Punch out with the 2 ½” XL Circle Punch and
adhere another 2 ½” Circle from Early Espresso cardstock behind the stamped
images.
Stamp the
flowers from Field Flowers onto a separate piece of Whisper White using Early
Espresso Classic Ink. Color using
Stampin’ Write Markers- Blush Blossom, Primrose Petals and Sahara Sand. Add a
few highlights with the Chalk Marker and “fussy-cut” the flowers mounting onto
the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Use the
Big Shot™ to emboss a piece of Blushing Bride Designer Series Paper (DSP) with
the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder. Trim and mount onto a card base of Early
Espresso cardstock.
Ink the
interior of the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder using
Raspberry Ripple Classic Ink and emboss a piece of Raspberry Ripple
cardstock. Trim for the vertical panels
of the sketch (rounding the outside corners of the smallest panel using the
Envelope Punch Board).
Create
the banner from I Am Me DSP and mount onto a piece of Early Espresso
cardstock. Add the scrap trim of the
embossed Raspberry Ripple cardstock.
Add the
vertical panels, the banner to the card front and the focal image (using
Stampin’ Dimensionals®).
Stamp the
sentiment using Early Espresso cardstock, punch out using the Word Window Punch
and adhere to a piece of Early Espresso cardstock (punched with the Modern
Label punch).
