I
hope all of you are having a great day! We had a wonderful time in worship this morning and I had a chance to create a card this afternoon using the Pals
Paper Arts PPA259 Color Challenge along with the Splitcoaststampers' Mix-Ability MIX127 "Red, White and Blue" Challenge (see details here and gallery here), the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSSIC215 Inspiration Challenge as well as the TGIF Challenge! TGI11 Sketch and the Addicted to Stamps and More #152 “Make Your Mark” Challenge (the last two are "new" challenge sites for me :-)).
Again,
if you have not visited the challenge sites yet, I hope you will find time to do
so- terrific Design Team designs and as well as their galleries!!
To create this Mixed Media card:
Use
Ranger® Tim Holtz® Picket Fence Distress Stain to tone down the Pacific Point
striped Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the retired High Tide.
Using
a sewing machine, stitch the panel onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and
distress the edges with the retired Distressing Tool.
Adhere the distressed panel to a piece of Real Red cardstock
and mount onto the Pacific Point card base.
Create
a tag from Whisper White cardstock (approx. 1 ¾” wide) and stamp the coral,
seahorse and Nantucket images from By The Tide using Pacific Point Classic Ink.
Ink
the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge with Pacific Point Classic Ink,
stamp off onto scratch paper and stamp onto the tag.
Stamp
the script image repeatedly using Real Red Classic Ink, create the top of the
tag with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and mount onto a piece of Real Red
cardstock (also using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch to create the top of the
tag).
Stamp
the coral image using Pacific Point onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock,
punch out the image using the 2 ½” Circle Punch and mount another 2 ½” Circle
of Real Red cardstock behind the coral image and adhere this element onto the
card front per the sketch.
Mount
the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and add the Real Red
paper bow (created with the Bow Builder Punch) along with the retired silver Star
Brad.
Stamp
the lobster image using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, color
using an AquaPainter™ with Real Red Classic Ink pad and the Stampin’ Write Real
Red marker and carefully “fussy-cut” out the image.
Use
the Big Shot™ to cut the anchor die cut
from Silver Foil and add the Natural Linen Thread “rope”- adhere to the card
front with Stampin’ Dimensionals® and a Mini Glue Dot (under the bow).
De-static
a piece of Pacific Point cardstock using the Embossing Buddy and stamp the sentiment
from Wetlands with Versamark™ ink. Apply
Stampin’ Emboss White Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool.
Trim
the sentiment, create the banner points with the Hexagon Punch, mount onto a
piece of Silver Foil, trim and create the banner points again using the Hexagon
Punch and repeat the above steps once more with Real Red cardstock.
Mount
the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® on the left hand
side and regular adhesive flush with the tag on the right.
Add
the lobster to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the
card.
