Hi
Again Stampers!
I had a wonderful
Sunday and wanted to take a moment to share one more card with you. I created this one for my nephew’s 13th
Birthday- he is definitely growing up too fast!!
For this card, I
chose a Western theme since he has decorated his bedroom in a Country/Western flair and I
utilized The Friday Mashup FM93 Make A Wish Challenge along with the PPA151 Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge.
Again, I hope you
will take the time to visit each site and check out their great Design Team
projects as well as all of other Challenge entries.
To create this
card:
Use the Big Shot™
with the Square Lattice and Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to
emboss two pieces of of Well Worn Designer Series Paper (DSP- retired). Very lightly sand the Woodgrain embossed piece and
adhere both to the Early Espresso card front.
Use the Big Shot™
and the 3 ½” Circle Originals™ Die to cut a circle from River Rock cardstock
and another circle from Early Espresso cardstock. Cut the Early Espresso cardstock circle in
half and set aside.
Stamp the cowboy
image and the sentiment using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto River Rock. Use The Aqua Painter and watercolor with Bravo Burgundy, Marina
Mist and Soft Suede Classic Ink. Use the
Color Spritzer Tool with the Soft Suede Stampin’ Write marker to “distress” the
cardstock. Sponge the edges using a Sponge Dauber with
Soft Suede Classic Ink.
Punch out the
sentiment using the XL Oval Punch Stamp and two other ovals from Early Espresso
cardstock. Layer the two Early Espresso
cardstock ovals behind the sentiment oval to create the border.
Punch out four
stars using the retired Small Star Punch – add the Aged Copper Hodgepodge
Hardware Brads (retired) . Attach three
to the knotted Hemp Twine to create a “banner”.
Layer the pieces
per the sketch using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.
