Hi
Stampers! 
I
wanted to share the card that I created today using CCMC288 Create withConnie and Mary Color Challenge along with the FMS121 Sketch from Freshly MadeSketches. I loved the colors in the
challenge this week and they coordinated perfectly with the new Designer Series
Paper (DSP), Retro Fresh.
I do hope you have had a chance to visit both sites- so much inspiration!!
To
create this card:
Use
the Big Shot™ along with Needlepoint Border Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to
emboss both sides of a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock (I have two of this
embossing folder so I could put one on each side and emboss with a single
pass).
Trim
this panel and adhere to a piece of Tangerine Tango cardstock and mount onto
the Baked Brown Sugar card base.
Cut
the square piece of Retro Fresh DSP with the Big Shot™ and the Square Framelits™. Before cutting the square, I placed the scrap
piece of previously embossed Coastal Cabana cardstock over the DSP so that it
would be on a diagonal and cut along with the square.
Adhere
the diagonal strip and DSP to a piece of Baked Brown Sugar cardstock and trim
closely to the edge.
Use
the Big Shot™ with the Heart Framelits™ to cut out hearts from Baked Brown
Sugar cardstock as well as coordinating Retro Fresh DSP. Layer the pieces and add the Pearl strand
around the DSP heart on the square panel.
Create
the small rolled flowers using the 1 ¼” Scallop Circle Punch- cut the scallops
from Tangerine Tango and Coastal Cabana cardstock, crimp with the retired
Crimper Tool, cut a spiral towards the center of each one my hand, roll up and
adhere (here is a basic written tutorial from Splitcoaststampers).
Cut
a few leaves using the Bird Builder Punch from Baked Brown Sugar cardstock
and adhere to the DSP square, heart and card front. Add the rolled roses and adhere the heart,
flowers and square per the sketch.
Stamp
the sentiment using Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock
and create the banner using the Hexagon Punch.
Add
to the front of the heart using Stampin’ Dimensionals® along with a few Pearls
to finish off the card.
