Hi Friends!
It’s time for the SUO158 “Thanks and Thanksgiving” Challenge at SU-Only Challenges!
We are encouraging you to pull out your Stampin' Up! supplies and stamps to create a Thanksgiving card, project or a general "Thank You" card/project and link your artwork in the SUO158 Gallery!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I always need to have “Thank You” cards on hand so this challenge is perfect to create something to show your appreciation for that someone special or a card/project for your Thanksgiving event :-)
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I always need to have “Thank You” cards on hand so this challenge is perfect to create something to show your appreciation for that someone special or a card/project for your Thanksgiving event :-)
I decided to incorporate the Create with Connie and Mary CCMC425 Sketch Challenge along with the Addicted to Stamps and More #215 “Make Your Mark" Challenge and the Splitcoaststampers’ CC598 Color Challenge
into the design.
I hope you will stop by the SU-Only Challenge site to check
out the rest of the Design Team projects as well as the other challenge
galleries- fabulous inspiration from all!
To create this card:
Ink the maple leaf image from Stampin’ Up! (SU!) Vintage
Leaves with Basic Black Archival Ink and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White
cardstock.
Using Stampin’ Write Markers- Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze,
Garden Green and Chocolate Chip, color the maple leaf and use an AquaPainter™
to blend the ink.
Continue to build up the color until you are satisfied with
the result, fussy-cut the leaf and crunch a bit by hand to mimic a real leaf.
Ink the interior of the Woodland Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder with Sahara Sand Classic Ink and emboss a piece of Very
Vanilla cardstock.
Trim the embossed panel and mount onto a piece of Chocolate
Chip cardstock.
Emboss a piece of Garden Green cardstock along with a panel of
Very Vanilla cardstock with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder,
trim the Garden Green piece and mount onto a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock.
Trim the embossed Very Vanilla panel and mount onto a piece of
Chocolate Chip cardstock, trim again and mount onto the Garden Green card base.
Ink the sentiment from SU! Acorny Thanks with Chocolate Chip
Classic Ink and stamp onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.
Use the Big Shot™ with the retired Bitty Banner Framelits™ to
die cut the sentiment.
Add the Garden Green embossed panel to the card front directly
and mount the Woodland embossed panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Adhere the Burlap Ribbon Threads along with Gold Metallic
Thread loops, cover with the leaf image and mount the sentiment with Stampin’
Dimensionals®.
Add a few Pearls along with Clear Wink of Stella® to the leaf
to finish off the card.
