TCC189 Cozy Comfort

 




Hi Friends!

Welcome to our #189 {Cozy Comfort} or {Vintage Hearts} Challenge at The Card Concept! The Card Concept is a bi-weekly challenge and we would love for you to create a card based on one of our inspiration photos and join us!

I love both of the inspiration photos for our mid-month two photo challenge, but I absolutely loved the quilt photo and the bold graphic colors!  I was inspired by the both the quilt and colors for my Clean and Layered / Clean and Graphic card!

As many of you who follow my blog also know, I enjoy participating with other online challenges (I know how much work goes into maintaining a challenge blog and want to give support).  I will be linking this card to the Simon Monday “Frame It” Challenge along with the Through the Purple Haze “#201 Anything Goes” Challenge.  

If you have not had a chance to check out the galleries at the Simon Monday or Purple Haze sites, I hope you will take time to check them out!  Also, stop by the  The Card Concept to see the rest of the DT designs and which photo they chose-  we would love to have you participate with us!



This card was fairly easy to create.  I die cut the quilt die from black and white cardstock as well as from a red and grey sheet of the Craft Consortium Grunge- Dark Tones 6x6 paper pad before piecing them all together on a scrap piece of white cardstock.

The quilted pieced panel was dry embossed with the Wire Fence embossing folder before being mounted, trimmed and framed out with layers of white and black cardstock.

Another horizontal strip of the designer papers along with gray taffeta ribbon were added as well as a rhinestone.


The sentiment was heat embossed with clear embossing powder from the Words of Encouragement stamp set from Stamp Simply.


I love this stamp set for the encouraging Scripture verses that are perfect for cards for those who may be recovering from surgery, illness, facing difficult life situations, and/or just need an encouraging word!

Stamp Sets: Words of Encouragement (Stamp Simply)

Inks/Mediums: Versafine Onyx Black

Cardstock/Paper: White, Black, Craft Consortium Grunge- Dark Tones



Accessories/Tools: Gemini, Jr., Wire Fence Embossing Folder, Quilt Die (retired from Wplus 9), Embossing Powder Tool, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Silver Rhinestone, Gray Taffeta Ribbon (retired Stampin’ Up!)


Thanks again for taking the time to visit! Here is the Vintage Hearts photo for your inspiration- you could create a card inspired by either photo- colors, theme, items, texture, or something else could inspire you.
