Merry Christmas- More Fun with the Christmas Bauble :-)

Hi Stampers! 

I wanted to create a card using the second Christmas Bauble image (I had previously

colored with the Paper Players PP213 Color Challenge byAnne Marie- love this color combo! ) and this time paired it with the Pals Paper Arts PPA220 Sketch.  

I hope you will find the time to visit both sites to see the gorgeous Design Team cards as well as their fantastic galleries! 

To create this Clean and Layered (CAL) card:

Ink the Christmas Bauble and Endless Wishes sentiment images onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink.

Color the ornament using Stampin’ Write Markers- Always Artichoke, Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze and Baked Brown Sugar. 

Use an AquaPainter™ with retired Frost White Shimmer Paint over the Baked Brown Sugar center area, add a few highlights using the Chalk Marker and carefully cut around the ornament. 

Use the Big Shot™ with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Backed Brown Sugar cardstock.

Stamp the sentiment from Endless Wishes using Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and layer onto Cajun Craze cardstock, trim and layer onto Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

Insert the sentiment panel into the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to avoid embossing over the sentiment. 

Wrap the retired Gold Cord around the ornament and mount the ornament onto sentiment panel per the sketch.

 

Add the panel to the Baked Brown Sugar layer and mount onto the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Adhere the Pearls to the center of the ornament to finish off the card.

I hope you will have a chance to visit both sites to check out the wonderful Design Team samples as well as their fantastic galleries!

To create this card:

Layer a strip of retired Always Artichoke Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and a strip of Cajun Craze DSP (from the retired DSP stack) onto a pieces of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the vertical elements of the sketch.

Mount a piece of Whisper White cardstock onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the background panel.  Add the Always Artichoke and Cajun Craze strips.

Adhere a piece of Park Lane DSP to a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock (rounding the corners with the Envelope Punch Board before adhering together) and mount this panel onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Add the retired Gold Cord to the ornament and mount the ornament to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Mount the entire panel to the card front and add the sentiment to the upper right corner of the Park Lane DSP panel (punch the sentiment out using the 1 3/8” Circle Punch and layer onto a circle punched from Blackberry Bliss prior to adhering to the card front).

Add a few Pearls to the center of the ornament to finish off the card.
