Hi Friends!
Welcome to our new #202
{Christmas Cheer} Challenge at the The Card Concept!
Check out this gorgeous inspiration photo! I love the décor, the red and white as well
as the beautiful pillows. I was inspired
by the colors and theme for my Classy and Elegant/Clean and Layered card/
We are looking forward to seeing what inspires
your card! Will it be the overall theme, the colors, items in the photo/textures
or something else?
If you have not already visited us at The Card
Concept, I hope you will find the time to do so. Gorgeous inspiration from the rest of my DT sisters!
This was a quick and fun card to create:
On a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of white cardstock, de-static
the panel and ink up the script block image from Jesus
(Stamp Simply) with Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink, apply clear embossing
powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Score below and above the stamped and embossed
image (it is hard to see this in the photo).
I actually scored the panel and scored too vigorously, lol, so I had to
score another panel, trim the embossed image and adhere it to the second panel,
oops!!
Trim the entire background panel to approx. 4” x 5
¼”, mount onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of red cardstock.
Add a strip of red
seam binding ribbon, wrapping the ends behind the panel and adhere to a white
card base.
On another piece of white cardstock, ink the
poinsettia image from the Floral
Clusters- Winter Poinsettia stamp set with Versafine Onyx
Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Watercolor the poinsettia
with distress inks and die cut with the coordinating
die. FYI- I also die cut another poinsettia
out of plain white cardstock to layer behind the stamped image (this gives the
image more stability for mounting onto the card front).
Mount the die cut poinsettia with dimensional foam
to finish off the card.
