Hi
Friends!
It’s
Wednesday and time again for the #670 sketch at Splitcoaststampers! Diane is
our sketch artist this week and I love the versatile sketch she has created for
our challenge, don’t you?
You can create
a clean and simple card or add additional embellishments to dress it up,
whatever your heart desires :-)
In
my continuing effort to make sure I am using all of my stamps (especially my
neglected retired ones) I decided to create a Clean and Simple Mixed Media card
using the retired Stained Glass and Harvest Blessings stamp sets from Stampin’
Up!
I
also incorporated the Simon Monday “Thanks/Thanksgiving” Challenge and the
Double D “Feeling Fallish” Challenge (I was inspired by the colors) along with a few other
Splitcoaststampers’ challenges (which are mainly “personal” challenges such as Divine Design Bible Verse Challenge BVC17-to create a card with Scripture and
memorize the verse; the USEIT2017 Challenge- use your unloved or uninked
stamps and supplies; and the All Occasion Card Challenge- create and link up
your occasion cards for the month) into the design.
If
you have not had a chance to visit the Splitcoaststampers’ Sketch gallery or
the other challenge sites yet, I hope you will do so- such wonderful inspiration
from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Ink the stained glass image with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, stamp onto a
prepared piece of Whisper White cardstock (use an embossing powder tool first to
prepare the paper), apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat
tool.
2).
Once the embossing has cooled, color the image with markers and use a water
brush to blend. FYI- I used various
Stampin’ Write Markers along with Tim Holtz® Distress Markers (colors are
listed below). Fussy-cut the image and cut into thirds (per the sketch). Mount each panel onto a piece of Basic Black
cardstock and trim close to the edge.
3).
Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock 4” x 4” for the card front. Trim a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3 ¾”
x 3 ¾”, de-static with a powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Harvest
Blessings with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat
set with a heat tool.
4).
Once the embossing has cooled, add the strip of 1/8” black satin ribbon and
mount the panel onto the black card front.
Mount the entire card front onto the 4 ¼” square white card base.
5).
Mount the stained glass stamped panels using dimensional foam and use a clear
glitter pen to add shimmer to the edges of the stained glass image as well as
the pumpkin.
6).
Add a looped 1/8” black satin ribbon bow with the button to finish off the
card.
