Hi
Again Friends!
Here
is another card that I created this past weekend using a brand new stamp set
from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini, Bear Hugs along with the coordinating
Bear Hugs Framelits™ and a few of my favorite online stamping challenges.
This
card was created using the Create with Connie and Mary CCMC398 Color Challenge,
the JAI303 “E” Challenge (“E” for Embossing) and FabFri83 Sketch Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above galleries yet, I hope you will
find the time to do so- wonderful Design Team samples and inspiration from all!
This
card was fun and easy to create:
Ink
the sentiment, large bear and three of the fish images from Bear Hugs using Stāz-On®
Jet Black Ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.
Using
an AquaPainter™ with Soft Suede Classic Ink, color the bear and lightly color
the fish, add Mossy Meadow along with Watermelon Wonder to the three fish.
Trim
the sentiment and create the banner points with the Hexagon Punch, mount onto
Mossy Meadow cardstock and punch the ends with the Hexagon Punch as well.
Use
the Big Shot™ with coordinating Bear Hugs Framelits™ to cut out the bear and
the three fish.
Create
a rope from Natural Linen Thread and adhere the three fish to the “line”.
Emboss
a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Arrows Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folder, a scrap piece of Watermelon Wonder and Soft Suede with the Woodgrain Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder and a small rectangle piece of Whisper White
cardstock with the Zig Zag Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.
Trim
and mount the rectangular piece of embossed Whisper White cardstock to a piece
of Mossy Meadow cardstock, wrap a few strands of Natural Linen Thread around
the panel and set aside.
Add
the strips of Woodgrain embossed Watermelon Wonder and Soft Suede cardstock with
a stapler to the embossed Arrows Whisper White panel, trim and mount onto a piece
of Mossy Meadow cardstock and adhere the entire background panel onto the Watermelon
Wonder card base.
Add
the Zig Zag embossed rectangle along with the sentiment using Stampin’
Dimensionals®, add the line of fish to the bear and mount the bear to the card
front with
