Hi Stampers!!
I had a chance to
stamp this afternoon and decided to create a card for the Our Daily BreadDesigns ODBDSLC247 "Floral Inspiration" Challenge along with the Splitcoaststampers’
CAS307 “Use Your Words” Challenge (see details here and gallery here) and Crafts4Eternity R#236 "Music".
Again, I hope you will take the time to visit the above sites- fabulous Design Team creations as well as gorgeous galleries and inspiration from all!
I pulled out a few Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) stamps and decided to use Christmas Rose for a non-Christmas card :-)
To create this card-
Stamp the Christmas Rose image five times using Stāz-On® Jet
Black Ink (you do not need the entire
image- just the main flower).
Color the petals with Stampin’ Write Markers- Blushing Bride and Melon
Mambo, spritz with water to soften the marker edges, fussy-cut the images and
curl the petals upward.
Once the flower images are
dry, color the center with the Hello Honey Stampin’ Write marker, add the
white highlights with a Faber-Castell® White Pitt Pen marker and set the flowers aside.
Ink the Amazing Grace
Hymn stamp using Smoky Slate Classic Ink and stamp on an angle onto Whisper
White cardstock.
Trim the background panel
and mount onto a piece of Brushed Gold cardstock, trim again and mount onto the
Always Artichoke card base.
Ink the sentiment
using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and use the Big Shot™
with the ODBD Vintage Flourish Pattern Die to cut out the sentiment as well as
a piece from Brushed Gold cardstock.
Cut the Brushed Gold
die cut in half horizontally and mount behind the sentiment (allowing a bit to
show as a frame).
Wrap a piece of Gold
Thread into a large loop and adhere to the card front (I used a drop of hot glue).
Use the Martha
Stewart Leaf Punch to punch out the leaves from Always Artichoke cardstock and
adhere behind the flowers.
Mount the framed
sentiment to the card front using dimensional foam tape and add the flowers around the
sentiment.
Finish off the card
with a few Pearls in the corners and you
are done!
FYI- This card was a
bit difficult to photograph- the Frost White Shimmer Paint created quite a
glare and made the flowers in the photo look different in the color as well as
highlight the wrinkles in the paper from curling- oops!
