Hi Friends!
It’s time for our #210 {Pumpkin Season} Challenge at The Card Concept!
Fall in the Northeast
US is my favorite time of year! The colors
of the leaves as they change, the crispness of the air and the fruits of the
harvest are all signs of the change of season.
I was inspired by the
colors of the pumpkins as well as the black and white checked patterns for my
Clean and Layered/Mixed Media card!
I decided to pull out
another retired Stampin’ Up! set, Frosted Medallions for the main image and the
sentiment is from the retired Verve stamp set, Scripture Medley 3.
I also was able to
incorporate a few stitched circles dies, especially, the “wonky” stitched circle die (which I have
owned for years and rarely used). I am still striving to create cards using some
of my older dies, stamps, paper, etc. :-)
I enjoy participating with online challenges and will be participating with the Cards 4 Galz
#235 Circles Challenge and the Inspire.Create
Stamping #178 Autumn/Halloween Challenge.
I hope you will take a moment to visit our challenge
blog to see how the rest of the Design Team were inspired as well as
check out the other challenge galleries to see their gorgeous creations!
To create this card:
De-static a piece of the Sunset
Ink Drops 6x6 paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the Frosted Medallions
image with Versafine
Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared paper, apply clear embossing powder
and heat set with a heat tool.
Once the embossing has cooled, die cut with a stitched
circle die.
Die cut a piece of white cardstock with a “wonky”
stitched circle die, layer the embossed image onto the white circle.
De-static a piece of black cardstock with an
embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiment with Versamark
ink, stamp onto the lower left-hand area of the cardstock, apply extra fine
white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Trim the black sentiment panel to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”,
add the strip of black checked gingham ribbon (wrapping the ends behind the
panel).
Adhere the entire black panel onto a white card
base.
Mount the layered circle focal image onto the card
front with dimensional foam.
To finish off the card, add the black checked
double bow and a pearl
to the center of the medallion.
