Hi Stampers!
I am
continuing to create cards for the Splitcoaststampers April 2016 MISSION- Cards
for A Cause- this month, encouragement cards are being sent to the Miami VA
Medical Center for the Homeless Veterans Program (see details here).
As I
mentioned in a previous post, I am so thankful to have a chance to possibly
give a little back to those who have sacrificed so much for our country and to
think that they are now homeless and now in need.....I hope these cards that
are donated will bring a bit of hope to the recipients and, there is still
time, if you would like to send cards to this cause (again, please see details
here- if you do not have a Splitcoaststampers’ sign-on, it is free to sign up).
This card
was also designed using the Paper Craft Crew Card #191 Sketch Challenge along with
the Global Design Project #GDP033 Colour Challenge and the Inkspirational #107 "Vehicles" Challenge.
Hopefully
you will have a chance to visit the above mentioned challenge sites- so many wonderful
Design Teams samples and entries!
To create
this card:
Ink the train
image from Traveler with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto a piece of
Whisper White cardstock.
Trim the
panel, color the train with the Stampin’ Write Sahara Sand marker and add
distressing to the background with stamps from Timeless Textures (stamped with
Sahara Sand Classic Ink).
Mount the
panel onto Sahara Sand cardstock, trim and mount onto Night of Navy cardstock
and distress with the retired Distressing Tool.
Ink the
sentiment from the retired set, Absolutely Fabulous with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink
and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Create the banner points on the end with the Hexagon
Punch (soon to be retired), mount onto Night of Navy cardstock, trim and punch
the banner points again with the Hexagon Punch and add texture with Sahara Sand Classic Ink and the Timeless Textures stamp.
Create
the background for the next layer using the suitcase, journal and camera from
Traveler, stamp onto a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock with Night of Navy
Classic Ink (masking the images as you stamp onto the panel).
Trim the
stamped background, mount onto Night of Navy cardstock and distress the edges
with the Distressing Tool.
The
larger background was created with stamps from the Timeless Textures set,
stamped with Sahara Sand Classic Ink onto Sahara Sand cardstock, distress the
edges with the Distressing Tool and mount onto the Night of Navy card front.
Ink the
Timeless Textures images with Night of Navy and stamp onto a piece of Calypso
Coral cardstock, cut with the Big Shot™ using the Circle Framelits™ (also
cutting the same size circle from Night of Navy cardstock), mount the stamped
Calypso Coral circle die cut onto the Night of Navy circle and distress the
edges of both with the Distressing Tool.
Layer the
card per the sketch and add the Calypso Coral banners (created with the Banner Triple Punch and retired Crimper Tool).
