I created this card using the CCMC168Sketch at Create with Connie and Mary and for a second submission to the SUO28 Fall Challenge. Again, I cannot
emphasis enough, how great the other entries and Design Team samples are at
both sites- check them out! :-)
To create this card:
Use the Big Shot™ with the Square Lattice
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of the Spice Cake Designer
Series paper and with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folder to emboss a piece of Pool Party cardstock.

| This picture shows the texture of the background Spice Cake DSP |
Use a Sponge Dauber with Soft Suede ink to
distress the Pool Party pieces and cut for the horizontal layers on the sketch.
Ink the large medallion from Day of
Gratitude with Pool Party Classic Ink and pounce Soft Suede Classic Ink onto the stamp (over the Pool Party) with a
Sponge Dauber. Stamp the image onto Very Vanilla cardstock and
carefully cut around the edges of the medallion. Sponge more Soft Suede around the edges of
the medallion and also sponge the edges of the Pool Party card front.
Spray the background DSP, medallion image
and sentiment with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint spray (mixed with 70% alcohol). Once
the paint spray dries, adhere the layers to the DSP, mount the medallion (with
SU! Dimensionals), the Soft Suede Taffeta Ribbon, sentiment and add the pearls
to finish off the card.
