Hi Again Stampers!
This is the third card that
I had a chance to create this weekend and I decided to use the NAC98 ColorChallenge along with the CCC14 Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge :-)
Again, I know most of you may
have already stopped by the challenge sites, but if not, I encourage you to do
so- inspiration abounds!!
To create this quick card:
Ink the cardinal stamp from
the new stamp set, Beauty of the Season using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper
White cardstock.
Color the body of the bird and
berries using the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities™ Collection, the bird’s legs
and beak using the Stampin’ Write Blushing Bride marker and the branches using
the Blendabilities™ Light Crumb Cake marker.
Lightly sponge the image using a Sponge Dauber
using Crumb Cake Classic Ink and use the Color Spritzer Tool with the Stampin’
Write Crumb Cake marker.
Cut the image out using the
Big Shot™ along with the Ovals Collection Framelits™ (also cutting the same
size oval from a piece of Blushing Bride and Cherry Cobbler cardstock). Cut the Blushing Bride and Cherry Cobbler
ovals in half and layer behind the bird image.
Use the Big Shot™ to emboss
a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder, trim, and mount onto a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock,
trim again and mount onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
Add the 1” Cherry Cobbler
Grosgrain Ribbon strip to the card front and adhere the cardinal oval image
panel. Add the 1” Cherry Cobbler
Grosgrain Ribbon double bow to the corner.
Mount the entire panel onto
a Whisper White card base and add the layered sentiment to finish off the
card.
