Hi
Again Stampers!
Here
is the second card that I created using the CQC270 ColourQ Challenge along with
The Card Concept #24 Snowman Tag (or Winter) Challenge and the
Splitcoaststampers SC517 Sketch.
This
card is a mixed media card that I believe qualifies for the "Shabby Chic" style and I just love this retired sentiment (since I know a few of my friends probably think I am bit of a “flake” lately- lol!!)
Again,
I hope you will find time to visit the challenge sites- wonderful designs and inspiration
from all!
To
create this card:
Ink
the snowman image from the retired set, Holiday Woodcuts using Early Espresso
Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Color the image using Stampin’ Write
Markers- Calypso Coral, Island Indigo,
Pistachio Pudding and retired Blush Blossom.
Cut
the snowman to approx. 1 ¾” and create the tag using the Scalloped Tag Topper
Punch. Add the punched border at the
bottom (I used a previously punched strip in my stash using the retired Lace
Ribbon Border Punch).
Apply
Ranger® Tim Holtz® Antique Linen Distress Stain to the paper to “antique” the
white and once dried, use a paint brush to apply Soft White Acrylic Paint to
the snowman to lighten the snow area and small snowflakes over the entire tag.
Apply
Ranger® Tim Holtz® Antique Linen Distress Stain to the 3/8” Calypso Coral Seam
Binding Ribbon to “antique” as well :-)
Once
the ribbon strips are dry, apply a strip at the bottom of the tag to hide the
seam of the punched border and to the top of the tag (tying with Natural Linen
Thread and fraying the edges).
Add
a knotted piece of Natural Linen Thread over the Calypso Coral ribbon strip at
the bottom of the tag and adhere the Calypso Coral and Island Indigo snowflakes
to the sides.
Ink
the mittens from the retired set, Flaky Friends using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink
and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Color the mittens using Stampin’ Write
Markers- Calypso Coral, Island Indigo,
Pistachio Pudding and Blush Blossom (retired), add the snowflakes using the
Blush Blossom marker as “ink” to the stamp and apply Ranger® Tim Holtz® Antique Linen Distress
Stain to distress the paper.
Add
additional distressing using the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge
using Island Indigo Classic Ink.
Distress
a strip of Whisper White cardstock using Ranger® Tim Holtz® Antique Linen
Distress Stain, trim and mount onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock, trim
and mount onto a piece of Calypso Coral.
Add
the distressed mitten background panel onto a piece of Calypso Coral and mount
the layered horizontal strip to the card front, trim and mount onto the Island
Indigo card front.
Add
the snowman tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Ink
the sentiment from Flaky Friends using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink and stamp onto
a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Apply
Ranger® Tim Holtz® Antique Linen
Distress Stain to distress the paper, add a bit of Island Indigo using the
Stampin’ Write markers around the snowflakes and add the white highlights using
a Faber-Castell White Pitt Pen marker.
Use
the 1 ¾” Circle Punch to punch out the sentiment- punch another circle from
Calypso Coral and Island Indigo cardstock.
Split the Calypso Coral and Island Indigo circles in half and mount
behind the sentiment.
Mount
the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and add the
Rhinestones to finish off the card.
