Hi Stampers!
I created this card for the
Pals Paper Arts PPA167 Color Challenge along with a new challenge site for me,
Word Art Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge #92 and the Stampin’ Royalty Challenge SR188 “It’s the Little Things” Challenge to use up small scraps (love being able to use up some of my scraps :-)).
If you have not had the chance to drop in on any
of these sites, I hope you will take the time to do so – again, wonderful inspiration!
To create
this card:
Use the
Big Shot™ with the Chalk Talk Framelits™ to cut a tag from Basic Black
cardstock and the Large Scallop Framelit™ to cut the edges of two Whisper White
scrap cardstock pieces. Emboss the
scalloped pieces using the Delicate Accents (Lace) Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folder.
Use the
Embossing Buddy® to de-static the Basic Black cardstock tag, stamp the sentiment
from Trust God using Classic White Craft Ink and emboss with the Heat Tool and
Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder.
Smudge a bit of White Craft Ink over the image using a Sponge
Dauber.
Use the
AquaPainter™ to brush on Coastal Cabana Classic Ink onto Whisper White
cardstock. Once dried, stamp the En
Francais background stamp using Coastal Cabana Classic Ink and trim to
size. Adhere to a piece of Coastal
Cabana cardstock and then again onto Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock.
Using a
small scrap piece of Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP), cut in half and
adhered to Coastal Cabana cardstock to create the vertical band for across the
card.
Adhere
the two embossed lace paper pieces across the bottom of the card, add the DSP band
across the center (you cannot see it but there is a gap under the tag since I
used scraps- our little secret :-) ) and
mount the black cardstock tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. In fact, if you ever took my cards apart, all of the background layers have been punched in the center to use for future projects and to lower the weight of the card- again, our little secret :-) We laugh and say they are "holy cards"- lol!!
Create
the paper bow from scraps of the same DSP as the vertical band (two large ovals
rolled in half and secured to a small scrap strip of DSP, add the two banner
points for the tails). Add the paper bow
to the top of the tag using Mini Glue Dots®.
Create
the four rolled flowers from Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock using the 1 ¼” Scallop
Circle Punch (cut into the circle towards the center and roll up- see the
Splitcoaststampers tutorial here) and cut the leaves from Pistachio Pudding
cardstock using the Bird Builder Punch.
Add the
flowers and leaves to the bottom of the card and one to the center of the bow using Mini Glue Dots®.
Stamp the
postage stamp image from Postage Due onto Whisper White cardstock using Coastal
Cabana Classic Ink and cut out by hand.
Adhere to a scrap piece of Basic Black and free cut by hand around the
image to create a small frame. Use the
Postage Stamp Punch to punch out a piece of Whisper White, adhere the stamp
image and mount to the cardstock using Mini Glue Dots® and a Stampin’
Dimensional®.
Add the
Pearls to the centers of the flowers to finish off the card.
