Hi Friends!!
This Mixed Media card
was created using the Can You Case It #117 Color Challenge along with the
Watercooler #65 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
This was a fairly simple card to make since the retired Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper (DSP) roses are the main focus and with a bit of fussy cutting, your images are ready to go!
If you have not
visited the above galleries yet, I hope you will find the time to do so- great inspiration
from all!
To
create this card:
Die
cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock using the My Favorite Things® (MFT)
Blueprints 13 Stitched Rectangle Die and repeatedly stamp the Notable Notions
script stamp with Very Vanilla Craft Ink (it is hard to see this in the photo but it is there :-)).
Carefully
cut the flowers from the retired Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper and place several
roses onto the die cut rectangle (excluding the large one on the left and the
central one on the right- set aside for mounting later).
Cover
all of the flowers (including the two set aside) along with the background panel with Tim Holtz® Distress Crazing
Collage Medium, allow the medium to dry and mount the panel onto a piece of
Very Vanilla cardstock.
 |
| Another view- a bit easier to see the background stamp and popped up flowers in the center :-) |
Adhere
a piece of 1” Black Satin Ribbon along with the cream colored Crochet Lace to
the lower part of the panel, and mount the entire panel onto the Basic Black
card base.
Add
additional shadows to all of the petals on the roses (including the two set aside) with the retired Stampin’
Write Crisp Cantaloupe Marker and mount the two individual roses with dimensional
foam.
Ink
the sentiment from the retired Absolutely Fabulous set with Stāz-On® Jet Black
Ink and stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock.
Cut
the sentiment out with the MFT Blueprints 16 Label Die and mount onto the
ribbon with dimensional foam.
Add
a few Pearls to the upper left hand and lower right hand corners to finish off the card.

Such a pretty card Julie! Thanks for joining us at CYCI this week.
Wowzers Julie. I love love love this. Thanks for playing along with us at CYCI. -Christine
Very pretty card, Julie. Love how those flowers pop against the black background. Thanks for joining us this week at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges.
Hi Julie, what a pretty card. The black background certainly makes your cut out DSP flowers "pop". I imagine this card is stunning in person from the glimpse of the background stamping one can see in the second image you've posted. The angle allows the light to catch that lighter ink. The stitching in the dies must also show up beautifully in person. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
Julie, those roses look so real I can smell them! A stunning card. Also appreciated the detailed description of how you put it together. Thanks for joining in with the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
What a nice contrast with the black and cantaloupe! Thank you for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday this week!
I just love the finishing touches of the pearls in the corner, and the beautiful lace ribbon, Julie. I always appreciate your descriptions of how you put your cards together, too. Thanks for joining our Watercooler Wednesday with such a beautiful card. ~Deborah
