Gather Together and Give Thanks

Hi Friends!!

This evening I am sharing another card that I designed using the remainder of the emboss resist panel from my previous post.

For this card, I am using the Sketch Saturday #588 Sketch for the layout and am also linking to the Sunday Stamps #217 "Autumn Richness" Color Challenge, Simon Says Work It Wednesday October “Autumn& Gratitude” Challenge and the Retro Rubber #123 “Anything Goes” Challenge (French Foliage is several years old and Painted Harvest is over a year old).  

 If you have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will visit the above challenge sites- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Die cut a piece of white cardstock with a stitched rectangle die, mount onto a piece of black cardstock and mount onto a white card base.

Trim three pieces of designer paper to approx.. 1 ½ “ x 3”, mount onto a piece of black cardstock and trim close to the edge.  Use a piercing tool to create holes to insert the copper brads.  Adhere the panel directly to the card front.

After creating the heat embossed resist panel with the French Foliage stamp set (I used distress oxide inks, clear embossing powder, masked the images as I stamped additional leaves, applied additional ink over the embossed leaves), stamp the script stamp and cancelled stamp image from French Foliage with repeatedly with Versafine™ Onyx Black over the emboss resist panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the circle (for the card in the previous post) and a rectangle for this card  using stitched dies.  Mount the stitched rectangle die cut onto a piece of black cardstock, trim close to the edge.

Fussy-cut a few of the leaves from the scraps and adhere to the corner with a copper clip. 

Mount the entire panel onto the card front with dimensional foam (or chipboard).  Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the panel.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment with Versafine™ ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool. 

Trim the sentiment panel, mount onto a piece of black cardstock and trim close to the edge.  

To finish off the card, mount the sentiment layer onto the card front (directly to the emboss resist panel and use dimensional foam on the far right hand side).
