Hi Friends!
We are starting our October
#220 Autumn Days Challenge at The Card Concept today and I was inspired by
the colors and textures from our photo this month.
Please stop by our challenge blog and check out how the rest of our talented Design Team was inspired
as well!
I decided to pull out
two retired stamp sets- Day of Gratitude (Stampin’ Up!) and the STAMPLorations Faith
Expression set.
I am still trying to
ink up my older stamp sets and always loved the main focal image in the Day of
Gratitude set.
If you follow my
blog, you know that I enjoy playing along with other online challenges and decided
to play along with the A Place to Start October “Anything Goes” Challenge.
To create this card:
Using distress oxides
(the colors I used are listed below), layer the inks onto a piece of white
cardstock using a stencil brush.
Dry the inks with a
heat tool before stamping the main from Day of Gratitude using Versafine Black
Onyx ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Fussy cut the
medallion and layer onto a piece of black cardstock (fussy cutting the image
once more).
Emboss a 4” x 2 ½” piece of orange designer paper with a knit embossing
folder, mount onto a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock.
Mount the panel onto
a 4⅛” x 5⅜” piece of black cardstock.
Add a strip of white
crochet lace and a strip of 1” black satin ribbon (wrapping the ends of the
ribbon to the back of the card panel).
Adhere the card front
to a white card base.
Stamp the sentiment
from Faith Expressions (retired STAMPlorations) onto a piece of white cardstock
with Versafine Black Onyx ink pad, apply clear embossing powder and heat set
with a heat tool.
Trim the sentiment, mount
onto a piece of black cardstock and trim close to the edge.
Adhere to the card
front along the ribbon edge.
Mount the focal image
to the card front with dimensional foam and add a pearl to the center to finish
off the card.
