Hi Stampers!!
Happy Monday!! Mondays are a stressful day for me in the office so
I wanted to relax and unwind this evening in my “sanity” (I mean craft room:-)).
I originally had a sepia tone card in mind for the DD37 Dynamic Duos neutral color challenge this week and opted originally for a CAS Vintage card (see my last post) so while I still had all of the supplies out, I decided to create another card with these colors and use the Splitcoaststampers' CAS204 sketch.
Not sure if this card would
qualify for as Clean and Simple (CAS) to some artists but to me it is:-)
This card really is quite
simple:
On Very Vanilla
cardstock, stamp the flowers using Soft Suede Classic Ink (stamping some of the
flowers off to lighten the ink). Using a
Sponge Dauber with Crumb Cake Classic Ink and Soft Suede, sponge the edges and
center of the card (Crumb Cake in the center and Soft Suede along the edges) to
create a sepia tone. Add a bit more
interest with the Color Spritzer Tool and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write marker.
Stamp the butterflies
using Soft Suede Classic Ink onto Crumb Cake and punch out with the Elegant
Butterfly Punch. Using the Sponge
Dauber, apply Crumb Cake ink over the butterfly and around the edges of the
wings. Use the Aqua Painter with Frost
White Shimmer Paint and apply thinned paint to the butterfly wings and highlight
some of the flowers on the main panel.
Mount the floral
panel onto Crumb Cake and again onto Very Vanilla cardstock.
Use the Big Shot™ with the Finishing Touches Edgelits™ to cut the edge
of a piece of Soft Suede, adhere the layered focal panel and add the ½” Very Vanilla
Seam Binding Ribbon bow and Antique Brad.
Add the sentiment to the lower portion of the main panel and mount the entire panel using SU! Dimensionals to an embossed background panel of Very Vanilla. Add the butterflies
with Mini Glue Dots and Pearls to finish off the card.
