I had a
chance to spend some time stamping yesterday creating a card using the ColourQ CQC287 Color Challenge along
with the Splitcoaststampers' WT513 "Getting Better" Challenge (see details here and gallery here).
This card
was created for a gentleman that serves with us in our Awana club that has developed
shingles (the colors feature his favorite baseball team- the Cincinnati
Reds :-)). His wife just had their third
child and despite the pain of having shingles and lack of sleep that a newborn can create :-) , he is still traveling a few hours each day
commuting to work! We are praying for a very quick and full recovery for this dedicated, hard-working father!!
I hope
you will have the time to check out all of the linked sites- gorgeous creations
and inspiration from all!
Using Stāz-On©
Jet Black Ink stamp the baseball image from the retired set, Take Me Out to the
Ballgame onto Whisper White cardstock.
Use the Big Shot™
with the My Favorite Things (MFT) Stitched Rectangular Die to cut out the image
and color using Stampin’ Write Markers- Real Red, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate along
with Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils (I did not dilute the watercolor
pencils).
Using Sponge
Applicators, apply Ranger® Tim Holtz® Old Paper, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo
Distress Ink to “antique” the paper. Ink
the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge using the Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea
Dye Distress Ink and add additional distressing to the image.
Use the Big Shot™
to cut another rectangle from Real Red cardstock and emboss it with the Stylish
Stripes Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.
Adhere the Real
Red panel onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock, “antique” the edges with the Ranger®
Tim Holtz® Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Ink and mount the stamped image
onto the panel.
Use the
Distressing Tool to distress the edges of the Graphic45 Good Ol’ Sport Game Day
Collection paper, “antique” the edges and interior using Ranger® Tim Holtz® Old
Paper, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Ink and mount onto a piece of Real
Red cardstock.
Distress the
edges of the Real Red cardstock layer using the Distressing Tool, “antique”
with the same Ranger® Tim Holtz® Distress Inks as above and mount onto the
Basic Black cardstock base.
Use the Big Shot™
with the MFT Horizontal Stitched Strip dies to cut a stitched strip from the
Graphic45 Good Ol’ Sport 6x6 Pattern Paper and a larger
stitched strip from Basic Black cardstock.
Layer the two strips together and
mount across the card front.
Use the Banner
Punch to punch banners from Real Red, Basic Black and the Graphic45 Good Ol’
Sport 6x6 Paper and adhere behind the focal image panel.
Add the retired
Aged Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware clip to the upper left hand corner and mount
the focal image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Use the Basic
Black Stampin’ Write marker to partially ink the sentiment from Doily Blessings
(Our Daily Bread Designs) and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.
Punch the
sentiment out with the Word Window Punch and create the banner using the Banner
Punch. Repeat the same steps with a piece of Basic Black cardstock to create
the banner behind the sentiment.
Use the Ranger®
Tim Holtz® Old Paper, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Ink to “antique” the
sentiment and stamp the large splatter stamp with Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink to finish off the distressing
for the sentiment.
Adhere to the
focal image panel and add the Basic Black button (with Real Red cardstock “laced”
through the holes) to finish off the card.
