CCREW0512DF- A Vintage Career

Hi Stampers!

Here is one of the challenges for the Splitcoast Creative Crew May Challenges- 

CCREW0512DF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM - DSP/Color Focus

A Vintage Career! This is the last month for the 2010-2012 In Colors (Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Concord Crush).   Showcase the color you'll miss the most in a project….I used all of the colors since I love them all!

Using Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade to stamp collage images from Established Elegance onto a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock.  

De-static the cardstock, stamp the dress form with Versamark™ ink and then again into Concord Crush Classic Ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Clear Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool. 

Emboss with the Big Shot™ with the Decorative Oval Frame Textured Impressions™ Folder, tear the edges around the edges by hand and lightly sponge Concord Crush over the embossing and around the edges.

Layer the cardstock panels, add the ½” Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding Ribbon, add the bow with the rolled flower center, sentiment and pearls to finish off the card.
