Hi Friends!
It's time for The
Card Concept #114 {Galoshes Galore} Challenge!
Isn’t this a fun
photo? I absolutely love all the bright colors of the galoshes as well as the
wooden fence and was inspired by the garden theme/colors to create a One Layer
Clean and Simple (CAS) card!
As I mentioned before,
I have such a large collection of stamps that have either not been inked in years
(if ever), so I am trying to give them some “love”.
I could not find a suitable garden boot image
in my massive stash:-) so I decided pulled out a very old Stampin’ Up! image from
the Friendship Gardens stamp set (retired in 2006) with a sentiment from Verve
Stamps (also retired).
In addition to The
Card Concept Challenge, I am also linking this card to the Addicted to Stamps and More #339 CAS Challenge, the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #109 “Anything Goes”Challenge (the Friendship Gardens image is at least 13 years old and the Verve
sentiment is well over a year as well) and the Word Art Wednesday #384-#385“Anything Goes” Challenge.
If you have not had a
chance to visit us at The Card Concept or the other challenge sites yet, I
hope you will find time to do so- such wonderful inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Score and fold a piece of 4.25” x 11” heavy white cardstock in half. De-static the card front with an embossing
powder tool, stamp the garden image using Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, apply
clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool.
2).
Once the embossing has cooled, color the garden image using water-based markers
(the colors I used are listed below) along with a water brush to blend the
color.
3).
Ink the sentiment using Memento™ Tuxedo Black ink and stamp onto the card
front.
4).
To finish off the card, use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the flower
petals (difficult to see in the photo) and a black fine line pen to add
definition to the soil line.
