Hi Stampers!!
Woohoo!! This is my first card
as part of the Design Team at The Card Concept and the #26 Challenge is their One Year Anniversary Celebration!
I will be designing
under the new "Mixed Media" category (along with the talented Yoonsun Hur) and am
thrilled to be part of this wonderful Design Team!
In case you are not familiar with the challenge, The Card Concept is a
bi-weekly challenge that has an inspiration photo along with a number of design
styles that you can choose from to create your card- Clean and Simple, Clean
and Graphic, Clean and Layered, Shabby Chic, Freestyle Collage, Classy and
Elegant and Mixed Media (see here for the style descriptions).
I loved the romantic feel of the inspiration photo and used the colors and flowers images to inspire the creation of my card :-) I hope you have a
chance to check out The Card Concept Challenge site- choose a
style and join in on the fun!!
To create this card:
Apply Gesso to a piece
of Whisper White cardstock and allow it to dry (you can use the Heat Tool to
speed up the drying process).
Once dried, apply
Gelatos™ (Bubble Gum, Guava and Bubble Gum) to the background, add water and
use your finger to smooth onto the background.
Ink the Notable
Notions script stamp using Jet Black Stāz-On® Ink and randomly stamp over the
background.
Use a honeycomb stencil
with a palette knife to apply Wendy Vecchi® Crackled Texture Paste to the
background.
Allow the texture
paste to dry- use a Mini Mister to apply
Ranger® Tim Holtz® Festive Berries, Pickled Raspberry Worn Lipstick Distress Inks
over the texture paste.
Once the background
panel is dry, adhere a portion of a paper doily to the upper right hand corner.
Trim the panel and
mount onto a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock, trim again and mount onto the
Whisper White card base.
Create the rolled
flowers using Blushing Bride and Marina Mist cardstock (use Scallop Circle
Punches- One from Marina Mist using the 2 ⅜” Scallop Circle Punch, Two using
Blushing Bride cardstock using the 1 ¾” Scallop Circle Punch and Two from
Blushing Bride and Marina Mist using the 1 ¼” Scallop Circle Punch).
Hand cut a spiral from the outside edge of each
scallop circle toward the center of the cardstock, scrunch the cardstock to
break up the fibers and hand roll the flowers and adhere to the center of each scallop
(I used Hot Glue to hold the flowers together)- here is a basic tutorial from Splitcoaststampers :-)
Create the leaves
using the Bird Builder Punch from Wild Wasabi cardstock, crease in the center
of each leave to mimic veins.
Adhere the
leaves behind the flowers and mount the flowers onto the card front (I used Hot
Glue to attach the flowers as well as the leaves).
Using your finger,
lightly apply Gesso to the flowers and add a bit of distressing.
Stamp the sentiment
onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink, trim and create
the banner points using the Hexagon Punch.
Add the sentiment to
the card front. Adhere the Pearls to the
corners of the card as well as the sentiment to finish off the card.
