Hi
Friends!
I
wanted to share the second card I designed using this week’s sketch #SC664 at Splitcoaststampers (see this post for my first card). Allison created such a versatile sketch and I
hope that you will be able to join in on the fun!
For
this card, I pulled out the retired Stampin’ Up! Gifts of the Earth stamp set
and paired it with the retired Pretty Patches: Apple stamp set from WPlus9
Design Studio along with a retired button and designer paper.
In
addition to the SC664 Sketch Challenge, I also incorporated the Little Red Wagon #413 “Heart and Home” Challenge (I love fall decorations for the home and
can envision this scene in my front yard) and the Simon Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to check out the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Gallery or
the other challenge sites yet, I hope you will find the time to do so- fabulous
inspiration from all!
1).
Ink the main image from Gifts of the Earth with Versafine™ Black Onyx Ink,
stamp onto Whisper White cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set
with the heat tool. Once the embossing
has cooled, use an AquaPainter™ with ink from Stampin’ Write Markers and Tim Holtz® Distress Markers to
watercolor and add additional color directly to the image- the colors I used
are listed below.
2).
Use the Big Shot™ with Oval Stitched Dies to die cut the image as well as an
additional larger oval from Early Espresso cardstock. Layer the focal image
onto the larger die and set aside.
3).
Trim a piece of Early Espresso cardstock to 4” x 5 ¼” for the card front, add a
piece of designer paper to the top half with a coordinating piece to the lower
half (I used retired designer paper from Stampin’ Up!- see below for more details ).
4).
De-static the lower right hand portion of the designer paper with an embossing
powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Pretty Patches: Apple (WPlus 9) with Versafine™
Black Onyx Ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat
tool.
5).
Add the strip of 5/8” Dark Brown Satin Ribbon to the card front to cover the raw
edges in the center (wrapping the ends behind the card front). Mount the entire card front onto the white
card base.
6).
To finish off the card, add the Polished Hemp Twine bow along with the retired
More Mustard square button and add a bit of shimmer to the milk can with a clear glitter pen.
