Hi Again Stampers!
I wanted
to share the final card that I created yesterday using the CCMC300 Create withConnie and Mary Color Challenge along with the Pals Paper Arts PPA201 SketchChallenge.
If you have not already
visited their sites, I hope that you would have the time to do so- terrific
Design Teams and examples in the gallery!!
To create
this card:
Ink the
floral stamp from Stippled Blossoms using Basic Gray Classic Ink and stamp
repeatedly onto Whisper White cardstock.
Use a Sponge Dauber with Calypso Coral Classic Ink to sponge color onto
the flowers and Basic Gray around the edges.
Mount onto Basic Black cardstock and sponge additional Basic Gray
Classic Ink around the edges.
Ink the
En Francais background stamp using Calypso Coral Classic Ink and stamp onto a
piece of Crumb Cake Designer Series Paper (DSP).
Use the
Big Shot™ with the retired Final Press Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to
emboss the piece of DSP and also emboss a piece of Basic Gray cardstock.
Lightly
sand the embossed DSP to expose the white core, use a Sponge Dauber to apply
Calypso Coral Classic Ink and Basic Gray to highlight the embossed images and mount
both pieces onto a piece of Basic Gray cardstock. Sponge additional Basic Gray Classic Ink
around the edges and center, mount again onto Calypso Coral cardstock and
adhere to the Basic Gray card base (applying additional Basic Gray Classic Ink
to all edges).
Sponge
additional Basic Gray Classic ink onto the embossed Basic Gray layer and add to
the card front per the sketch.
Add the
layers at the top and bottom of the panel (created from the Decorative Label
punch cut into half) and sponge additional Basic Gray Classic Ink to darken.
Using a
sentiment printed from My Digital Studio (MDS), sponge Calypso Coral Classic
Ink and Basic Gray Classic Ink and punch out using the Large Oval Punch. Punch
two additional ovals using the Large Oval Punch from Basic Gray cardstock, layer
to create a frame for the sentiment and add to the focal image panel. Mount the
focal panel onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Stamp
three of the butterflies from Papillon Potpourri onto Whisper White cardstock
and punch out the images using the Elegant Butterfly Punch. Sponge Calypso Coral Classic Ink onto the
butterflies and add to the card front.
Add
Pearls to the centers of the butterflies as well as the sentiment to finish off
the card.
