Hi Stampers!
This is the first card of two that I created for the new CC493 Splitcoaststampers’ Color Challenge- Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon and Old Olive with
the dessert option- use something recycled :-)
If you have not visited the challenge site yet, I encourage
you to do so- marvelous inspiration and I hope you can play along with us this
week!
The main focal panel is from Graphic 45’s Come Away With Me paper
series – darken some of the colors using Stampin’ Write markers- Old Olive for
the trees, Lost Lagoon for the background and Calypso Coral for the dress.
Once the coloring was finished, apply Ranger© Tim Holtz® Old
Paper Distress Stain to “antique” the paper.
Mount the panel onto Calypso Coral cardstock, trim and mount
onto Lost Lagoon cardstock.
Use the Big Shot™ with the Zig Zag Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of retired Epic Day Designer Series Paper
(DSP). Lightly sand the embossed panel
using a Sanding Block, trim and mount onto a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock.
Add a piece of cardboard (for the recycled item- split the
cardboard to open up for the core to show) along with a ½ White Tea Lace Paper
Doily. Add the 3/8” Lost Lagoon Silky
Taffeta ribbon strips and triple ribbon bow.
Mount the panel onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock, trim again
and mount onto Lost Lagoon cardstock and finally mount onto the Calypso Coral
card base.
Create the rolled flowers from Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral
cardstock using 1 ¼” and 1 ¾” Scallop Circle Punches- punch the scallop
circles, hand cut a wavy spiral from the outside of the scallop circle toward
the center, use the retired Crimper Tool to distress a bit (or just scrunch the
paper by hand), roll up from the outside edge and adhere using Tombow Multi-Purpose
Adhesive or a Hot Glue Gun. Create the leaves from Old Olive cardstock with the
Bird Builder Punch.
Add the flowers to the card front along with the Pearls to
finish off the card.
