Hi
Again Stampers!!
I
was able to create another card this weekend and decided to go Clean and Layered (CAL) this time (a very difficult style for me :-)).
When
looking for inspiration for this card, I used The Card Concept Challenge #5 Colors along with the Fusion #6 Inspiration and the FMS127 Sketch at FreshlyMade Sketches—again, I hope you will have a chance to
stop by to visit all of the challenge sites to see the wonderful Design Team
samples and entries!
To
create this card:
Using
Gumball Green Classic Ink, stamp the “Hi” and Polka Dot stamps from Banner Blast
onto Whisper White cardstock and use the Banner Punch to cut out the banners.
Repeatedly
stamp the circle stamp from Lacy and Lovely using Gumball Green Classic Ink onto
Whisper White cardstock, cut two small banners with the Banner Punch and create the
longer banner using the 1 ¼” Square Punch.
Layer
the long banner onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock, creating the banner
points using the 1 ¼” Square Punch as well and add a few scrap pieces of
Gumball Green cardstock.
Use
the Big Shot™ with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to
emboss a piece of Early Espresso cardstock.
Layer
a piece of Whisper White cardstock onto Gumball Green cardstock and again onto
the Early Espresso card base. Add the
Woodgrain embossed panel and the large banner per the sketch.
Punch
a banner using the Banner Punch from Early Espresso Designer Series Paper (DSP)
and using a Hot Glue Gun, adhere the banners to a piece of retired Hemp Twine (knotted
on the ends), adhere to the front of the card.
Add
the button from the retired Neutrals Collection to the upper corner of the
banner per the sketch (I used a small strip of Gumball Green cardstock to the
center to mimic thread) and the Rhinestone to dot the “i” on “hi” to finish off
the card.

ReplyDeleteThis is a really well-thought out card...so many elements that work perfectly together. I especially love the addition of the hemp twine with your banner...very cute idea!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Julie! You have a keen eye for design...all your elements work beautifully together! I love the texture that you have created using the embossing folders...and I LOVE the twine clothes line (or should I say banner line!).
