Hello Friends!
I hope you are having a terrific week so far! I had a chance to play around with some of
the new 2016 Sale-A-Bration sets today and created a card using the “What I
Love” stamp set.
I wanted to participate in a few of my favorite online challenges,
so I decided to use the CQC323 ColourQ Challenge, the SC119 Sketch from Stampin’ Celebration and the theme of the Inkspirational #99 “Thank You with SomethingNew” Challenge.
If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge site
galleries yet, again, I would encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from
all!
To create
this card:
De-static
a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Embossing Buddy®, ink the outline
flower image from What I Love using Versamark™ Ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock,
apply Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
Color the
image with the Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Markers, spritzing
with water to blend the colors, re-color as needed and fussy-cut out the
flowers.
Ink the
Definitely Dahlia background stamp with Blushing Bride Classic Ink, stamp onto
a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim the panel, add the distressing with
the large Gorgeous Grunge splatter stamp using Melon Mambo and Pool Party
Classic Ink , stamp the sentiment with Melon Mambo Classic Ink as well as a few
of the leaves.
Add the
banner elements using the Banner Triple
Punch to create the banners (I had the woodgrain piece of Crumb Cake and the retired Pool Party DSP already I my stash and mounted both on scrap pieces of Melon
Mambo cardstock).
Trim the background
panel and mount onto Melon Mambo cardstock, trim again and mount onto the Pool
Party card base.
Punch the
leaves from Crumb Cake cardstock, sponge Melon Mambo Classic Ink over the edges
and add to the card front along with the Gold Thread loops.
Add the
embossed flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.
