This is the Day

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a vintage style card designed with the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps- Floral Clusters Fall Clusters and Give Thanks, the Stamp Simply Floral Clusters & Sprigs Dies, along with the Memory Box Woodsy Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad and a few other supplies all from Stamp Simply. 

The Memory Box Woodsy Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad is perfect for masculine cards but I thought it would be perfect for this fall feminine card. 

As many of you know that follow my blog, I enjoy participating with online challenges and am playing along with the  Addicted to Stamps & More #436 “Make Your Mark” Challenge, the 
Festive Friday #116 Grandparent’s Day Challenge (Lace, Plaid, Pearls) and the Word Art Wednesday #557-#558 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not already had a chance to do so, I hope you visit the Stamp Simply blog to see all of the inspiration from the rest of the Stamp Simply Design Team as well as the rest of the challenge sites- terrific galleries from all!

To create this card:

De-static several pieces of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the floral image from the  Stamp Simply Clear Stamps- Floral Cluster- Fall Flowers  onto one panel and the verse sentiment from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps- Give Thanks onto the other panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the heat embossing has cooled, watercolor the floral image with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die from the Stamp Simply Steel Dies- Floral Cluster & Sprigs Dies. 

Die cut the sentiment from the medium rectangle die from the Spellbinders Celebrations Die- Pierced Rectangles. 

Layer the die cut rectangle onto rust cardstock, trim close to the edge of the rectangle.

Trim a piece of the denim plaid paper from the Memory Box Woodsy Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.  Layer onto a piece of white cardstock, trim close to the edge.

Mount onto a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” rust cardstock .

Add the strip of Venise Lace 1.75” Gabriella- 1 yd- White and cover the raw edge of the lace with a piece of the olive seam binding from the Patina Seam Binding Sampler (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the panel).

Add the layered sentiment panel and floral die cut with dimensional foam .

Adhere the olive green seam binding bow to the bottom of the rectangle die cut.

Use a white paint pen to add highlights to the floral centers and finish off the card with pearls in the upper left hand corner of the card front and the lower right hand corner of the sentiment panel.
