TCC198 Our Help

 

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our #198 {Summertime Fun} Challenge at The Card Concept! 

This will be our last challenge before our summer break.  The Card Concept Challenge will return with new inspiration challenges in the fall. 

I thought that each of these pillows have great summertime images and I was inspired by the top left with the pelican, lighthouse and compass (in addition to the colors) for my Clean and Layered Mixed Media card.

I enjoy participating with other online challenges and will be playing along with A Place To Start “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not already visited us at The Card Concept, I hope you will find the time to do so.  Wonderful inspiration from the rest of my DT sisters as well as at the A Place to Start site.

This was a very easy card to create:

Ink the lighthouse collage image with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto a prepared piece of white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, lightly water-color the image using ink from water-based markers.  

Trim the image close to the edge and mount onto black cardstock.

Emboss a piece of white cardstock with a diamond embossing folder, trim to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”, add a piece of turquoise seam binding (wrapping the ends behind the panel) and mount onto a piece of black cardstock.

Heat emboss the sentiment from Scripture Collection 3 (Divinity Designs LLC)  onto white cardstock (using the same steps as the lighthouse), trim close to the edges before mounting onto black cardstock.

Layer the lighthouse image panel directly to the card front and add the sentiment with dimensional foam.

Use a clear glitter marker pen to add shimmer to the compass image.
