True Friends- A Sketch and Photo Inspiration

Hi Again Stampers!!

This is the third card  created based on the wonderful SR199 Stampin’ Royalty PhotoInspiration as well as the PP169 Sketch at The Paper Players. 

I truly hope you will have the time to visit each site and check out the Design Team samples as well as the other wonderful entries...

Again, I used very limited supplies and have more details for the reasoning behind that decision here :-)

To create this card:

Using the Big Shot™ emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.

Adhere the retired piece of checkerboard background paper to scrap strips of Basic Black cardstock (I have numerous strips left over from trimming and if it is a small frame, I can add the strips without anyone knowing it is not a solid piece of cardstock- oops, until now :-))

Adhere the checkerboard panel to the embossed Woodgrain background, add the black satin ribbon strip (from my stash) with the three little banners (also from retired background papers) and mount the entire panel onto the Basic Black card base.

Create the tag from Basic Black cardstock using the Big Shot™ and the Chalk Talk Framelits™.   

Attach the black satin triple ribbon bow at the top of the tag.  Add the the sentiment (a pre-printed My Digital Studio (MDS) image onto Whisper White cardstock punched out with the 1 ¾” Circle Punch and mounted onto 1 ¾” Circles from Basic Black carstock) along with the cat die (cut from Sahara Sand cardstock and stamped with the Mixed Bunch flower using Sahara Sand Classic Ink). 

To finish off the card, add the Rhinestones in the three different sizes along the top left for the sketch, the collar on the cat and the lower right (just because :-)).

Stamp Sets:  Friendly Words (MDS), Mixed Bunch (on the cat- hard to see)

Ink: Printer Ink- Black, Sahara Sand,

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, retired Neutrals background papers

Accessories: Big Shot™, Woodgrain Impressions™ Embossing Folder, Chalk Talk Framelits™, 1 ¾” Circle Punch, Rhinestones, cat die cut (non SU!), black satin ribbon (from my stash)

Thanks again for stopping by- I still have three more cards to post!!  Hope you are having fun creating in your craft space!
