Thankful For....A Color and A Sketch Challenge :-)



Hi Stampers! 

Here is the second card that I created using the CQC253 ColourQ Challenge along with the Mojo357 Sketch Challenge. 

Hopefully you will have a chance to visit both challenge sites- so many wonderful Design Teams samples and entries!

To create this card:

Using the splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge, ink and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock first using Summer Starfruit Classic Ink followed by Island Indigo Classic Ink and repeat again with Early Espresso Classic Ink.

Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Island Indigo and Early Espresso Classic Ink to the edges, trim and mount onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Tempting Turquoise card base.  Apply additional Early Espresso Classic Ink over the edges to tone down the Tempting Turquoise cardstock.

For the back panel per the sketch, cut a piece of Tempting Turquoise Designer Series Paper (DSP) and mount onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock.

Stamp the panel using the splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge using Island Indigo Classic Ink and repeat again with Early Espresso Classic Ink.   Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Early Espresso Classic Ink to the edges and adhere to the card base.

Cut two pieces of the retired Soho Subway DSP and mount onto pieces of Early Espresso cardstock.   Sponge Early Espresso Classic Ink over the edges, stamp the Summer Starfruit panel using the Gorgeous Grunge splatter stamp using Early Espresso Classic Ink and add both pieces to the card front (again, per the sketch).

Adhere a piece of retired Soho Subway DSP onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock for the center strip.

Create the sentiment banner using Truly Grateful- stamp the sentiment with Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Apply Island Indigo and Early Espresso Classic Ink using a Sponge Dauber, use the Hexagon Punch to create the banner points and mount onto Early Espresso cardstock (also creating the banner with the Hexagon Punch).  

Add a strip of the Tempting Turquoise DSP  used for the back panel to the lower edge of the sentiment banner.    Use the Banner Punch and punch several banners from the Soho Subway DSP (Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo)  and Early Espresso cardstock.   Adhere the banners behind the sentiment and add to the central panel on the front of the card.

Add two small strips of the Summer Starfruit DSP to the Bronze Button to mimic thread- add to the card front onto the sentiment layer.

Add the retired Antique Copper Hodgepodge Hardware to the corner of the Summer Starfruit panel to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Truly Grateful

Ink: Early Espresso, Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit

Paper/Cardstock:  Whisper White, Early Espresso, Tempting Turquoise, retired Soho Subway DSP, retired Tempting Turquoise DSP
