Thinking of You- Three Challenges in One :-)

Hi Stampers! 

This card was created using the Pals Paper Arts PPA218 Color Challenge along with the Splitcoaststampers SC504 Sketch and the SC86Inspiration Photo at Stampin’ Celebration.

If you have not had a chance to do, I hope that you will take a moment to visit the galleries at each site – great designs by all!

To create this card:

Stamp the images from Established Elegance (retired) using Classic Ink- Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake as well as a few using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Color some of the images using Stampin’ Write Markers- Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake.

Mask the images stamped in the above step and stamp over the images with Backgrounds Rule using Crumb Cake Classic Ink.

Use the Distressing Tool to distress the edges, adhere to Blackberry Bliss cardstock using a Sewing Machine and distress the edges of the Blackberry Bliss layer as well.   Use a Sponge Dauber with Crumb Cake Classic Ink to distress the Whisper White cardstock a bit. 

Mount a piece of Hello Honey Moonlight Designer Series Paper (DSP) onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  Add this layer onto a piece of Crumb Cake DSP with ½ of a White Paper Tea Lace Doily under the edge and mount the entire panel onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using a Sewing Machine.

Mount the entire panel onto the 5 ½” x 5 ½” Square Crumb Cake card base.

Add the stamped images using Stampin’ Dimensionals® per the sketch, add the sentiment to the lower right hand corner and adhere the 3/8” Blackberry Bliss Stitched Triple Satin Ribbon bow along with the Antique Brad.

Add the Pearls to finish off the card.
