Merry Christmas- Three Challenges in One!

Hi Again Stampers! 

Here is another card that I created this past weekend for the FFC37 Festive Friday Inspiration Challenge using the TSS22 ‘Tis The Season Sketch and the CQC252 ColourQ Challenge. 

 

Again, I hope you will the chance to visit all of the challenge sites to check the wonderful Design Team samples as well as their galleries!!

To create this card:

Trim and mount a piece of Whisper White cardstock to the Early Espresso card base.  Adhere a piece of Certainly Celery Designer Series Paper (retired DSP from a hostess pack) onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and mount on the background panel per the sketch.

Punch out the sentiment using the XL Oval Punch and mount additional ovals of Real Red and Early Espresso cardstock behind the sentiment and adhere to the card front.  

Create the banner strip using Early Espresso cardstock with a strip of the Certainly Celery DSP and Crumb Cake cardstock (creating the banner points using the Hexagon Punch). 

Either stamp the poinsettia image from the retired Bells and Boughs using Memento™ Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock or use My Digital Studio (MDS) to print the images out onto Whisper White cardstock (I decided to use MDS so I could re-size the images)

Color the poinsettia using Stampin’ Blendabilities™ Cherry Cobbler Collection along with the retired Certainly Celery Stampin’ Write marker and add shadows using the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write marker. 

Create the layered circle using the 2 ½” Circle Punch-  punch out four circles (one from Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Real Red cardstock), split each of the circles in half and adhere behind each other to create the different layers. 

Mount the “fussy-cut” poinsettia image using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to the layered circle and add to the card front using Stampin’  Dimensionals® as well.

Add the Pearls to finish off the card.
