Hi Stampers!
It has
been a busy weekend for me as I was having fun designing and creating cards for several people on
our prayer list along with our Awana ministry.
I created
two cards using the same stamp set for the horse image for two special 6th grade Awana girls. They both completed their Timothy Awards and have been so sweet to have in our club for the last two years :-) They will be "moving up" but I should still be able to see them occasionally on club night- I will miss spending time with them each week for sure!
I
incorporated the Splitcoaststampers’ CC532 "Coastal Old Vanilla" Color Challenge with "dessert" :-) (see details here
and gallery here) for both cards and the
first card uses the SC530 Sketch Challenge (see details here and gallery here) and
the SC538 Sketch Challenge (see details here and gallery here) was used for the
second card (modified both sketches a bit :-).
If you
have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will find the time to visit the
Splitcoaststampers’ galleries to check out all of the inspiration from the
color and sketch challenges!
Shared steps to create both cards:
Ink the Inkadinkado® horse image from the Horses stamp set
using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink and stamp onto two pieces of Very Vanilla
cardstock.
Color the horse image with Faber-Castell® Polychromos Black
colored pencil, the grass with the Stampin’ Write Old Olive marker and use the
Big Shot™ with the My Favorite Things® (MFT) Stitched Rectangle Die to cut out each
horse image.
Mount the images onto Basic Black cardstock and trim to
create the frame.
To finish Card #1:
Emboss a piece of retired Jr. Varsity Designer Series Paper
(DSP) with the Big Shot™ and retired Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder, trim the panel and mount onto a piece of Basic Black
cardstock.
Lightly sand the embossed DSP with the Sanding Block to
bring out the white core.
Stamp the sentiment from the retired Blessings from Heaven
stamp set using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla
cardstock, insert the sentiment panel into the Stylish Stripes Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder (keeping the sentiment portion outside of the
folder) and emboss with the Big Shot™.
Add the Coastal Cabana Thick Baker’s Twine over the panel at
the edge of the embossing, mount onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock, trim the edges,
add the retired Antique Pewter brads and mount onto the Basic Black card base.
Create the banner from retired Afternoon Tea DSP using the
Hexagon Punch, mount onto Basic Black cardstock and create the banner points
with the Hexagon Punch.
Add the Coastal Cabana Thick Baker’s Twine with the retired
Antique Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware clip and mount the banner onto the embossed
Olive Green DSP panel.
Mount the embossed Old Olive DSP panel to the card front
using Stampin’ Dimensionals® (I angled it a bit from the initial sketch :-)).
Add the horse image to the card front with Stampin’
Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

To finish the second card:
Using My Digital Studio (MDS), insert the Word Art Wednesday
Proverbs 17:17 verse and print out onto Whisper White cardstock. Use Ranger® Tim Holtz® Antique Linen Distress
Ink to “antique” the paper and match the Very Vanilla cardstock.
Emboss a piece of retired Jr. Varsity DSP with the Big Shot™
and the Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, lightly sand with the
Sanding Block, trim and mount onto the Basic Black card base.
Adhere the Coastal Cabana pieces of Afternoon Tea DSP to
Basic Black cardstock, trim and create the vertical and horizontal panels on
the card front.
Add the portion of the White Tea Lace Doily (this was an
afterthought since I originally had a bit of Hot Glue on my card front and when
it was removed, the DSP tore so the Doily is covering up the mistake- lol!).
Mount the verse onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock and
adhere to the horizontal panel.
Add the horse image using Stampin’ Dimensionals® , Pearls to
the verse and the retired Antique Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware clip to finish off
the card.
