Hi Friends!
Woohoo! It’s that time again for a new challenge at SU-Only Challenges and challenge #168 is all about “Sale-A-Bration Fun”.
I decided to create a Mixed Media card using the
Sale-A-Bration (SAB) sets, Delicate Details and Avant-Garden along with the
main catalog sets, Papillon Potpourri and Timeless Textures.
I incorporated the Create with Connie and Mary CCMC444 Color Challenge as well as the FabFri105 Sketch Challenge into the design.
If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challengesite to check out the rest of the Design Team projects or the other challenge
sites, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!
To create this card:
1). De-static a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the
Embossing Buddy®, ink the stamps from Delicate Details (SAB) with Versamark™ ink,
stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing
Powder and heat set with the heat tool.
2). Once the embossing has cooled, use an AquaPainter™ with
ink from the Dapper Denim Classic Ink Pad to watercolor over the
embossing. Add a bit of splatter
distressing with the small splatter stamp from Timeless Textures and wipe away
all excess ink from the embossed areas with a slightly damp paper towel. Trim the
embossed panel and mount onto a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. Trim the panel again and mount onto a piece
of Dapper Denim cardstock, finally trimming once more before adhering the
entire panel to the Extra Thick Whisper White card base.
3). Use the Big Shot™ along with the Layering Circles
Framelits™ to die cut a piece of Whisper White and Crumb Cake from a smaller
circle die and Dapper Denim cardstock using the next larger circle die. Split the Crumb Cake die cut circle in half
and adhere behind the white die cut circle allowing the edges to just peek out
from behind. Layer onto the Dapper Denim
die cut circle. Add a bit of splatter
with the Timeless Textures small splatter image using Dapper Denim ink and
adhere directly to the card front (per the sketch).
4). Ink the floral image from Avant-Garden (SAB) with Stampin’
Archival Basic Black ink, heat set with the heat tool and watercolor using the
AquaPainter™ and Stampin’ Write Markers- Crumb Cake for the leaves, Peekaboo
Peach for the blossoms. Once you are satisfied with the coloring,
fussy-cut the images and mount onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
6). Heat emboss the
sentiment from Avant-Garden (SAB) with Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder
onto Dapper Denim cardstock, trim the image and mount onto the card front with Stampin’
Dimensionals®.
7). Ink the butterfly image from Papillon Potpourri with
Stampin’ Archival Basic Black Ink and stamp three images onto Whisper White
cardstock, watercolor with the AquaPainter™ using the Stampin’ Write Peekaboo
Peach marker, punch out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch and mount onto the
card front.
8). Apply Clear Wink of Stella® to the butterfly wings and
pearls to the centers of the butterflies as well as to the upper right hand corner
along with the sentiment. Use the White Gel Pen to add a few highlights to the
center of the flowers to finish off the card.
