TCC66 His Love Endures Forever

Hi Friends!!

It’s time for The Card Concept #66 “Love and Romance” Challenge! 

Our inspiration photo is so soft and lovely and I was inspired by the beautiful rose as well as the overall romantic feeling of love to create a shabby chic card.

I have been hoarding this gorgeous Graphic 45 Botanical Tea designer paper and incorporated the Splitcoaststampers CC617 Color Challenge (with the dessert option of spring) into the design.

I am also linking to the Word Art Wednesday #268-#269 “Anything Goes” Challenge. 

I hope you will find the time to check out the wonderful Design Team cards at The Card Concept as well as the other two challenge galleries- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Distress the edges of the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea designer paper, apply Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the edges, mount onto Soft Suede cardstock, trim and mount onto Blushing Bride cardstock.

2). Trim the Graphic45 Botanical Tea Cut-A-Way panel, distress with Antique Linen Distress Ink and stamp the platters with the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Textures small splatter stamp using Vintage Photo Distress Ink (stamping off prior to stamping on the panel).  Mount onto Soft Suede cardstock and mount onto the front of the card panel.

3). Add the crochet lace and olive satin ribbon, wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the panel before mounting onto the white card base.

4). Ink the sentiment from Scripture Medley 3 (Verve Stamps) with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock.  Die cut and emboss the sentiment using the medium frame from Spellbinders™ Timeless Rectangles Dies, stamp the small splatter stamp from SU! Timeless Textures stamp (“huff” onto the stamp to re-moisten the ink). Mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

4). Create the rolled roses using the MFT Royal Rose dies from Pink Pirouette and Blushing Bride cardstock. Use the MS Leaf Punch to add leaves from Old Olive cardstock – adhere the flowers to the card front (I used hot glue for this step) and add a few pearls in the corners to finish off the card.
