Hi
Sweet Friends!
This
evening I am sharing a Clean and Simple (CAS) card that I designed using the Landscape Silhouettes and Tender Thoughts
stamp sets from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps for the AAA Cards #111 "Use Only One Third" Challenge and the Retro Rubber #83 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
I
have owned both stamp sets for several years and they are so versatile for many
occasions. I love the silhouette images and while I had Landscape Silhouettes out,
I created four additional cards that I will share in the next day or so :-)
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge galleries yet or the
Sweet ‘n Sassy blog/FB page, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration
from all!
To
create this card:
1). Tap a few colors
of Distress Oxide onto a silicone mat (see below for the colors I used),
lightly spray with water and press a piece of watercolor paper 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Lift
up and continue to re-apply ink until you are satisfied with the background.
2). De-static the
panel with an embossing powder tool, ink the image from Landscape Silhouettes
with archival black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat
tool. Trim the panel and mount onto
black cardstock.
3). De-static a piece
of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool (in the area for the
sentiment), ink the sentiment from Tender Thoughts with archival black ink,
apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool. Trim the panel and mount onto a piece of black
cardstock, trim again and mount onto the white card base.
4). Mount the main
panel onto the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

ReplyDeleteWow, lovely job with a difficult card to make. The silhouette stamp is wonderful, I may have to go shopping! I also must add you must live a in dry area like I do as the static tool is a go to for me as well before embossing! Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber for AG!
