Hi
Friends!!
It’s
time for The Card Concept #69 “Rich Texture” Challenge! I love this gorgeous inspiration photo with
the weathered chair and beautiful flowers and was inspired to create a simple
Mixed Media floral card.
I
have incorporated a few other online challenges into the design as well- the
Just Us Girls #384 Trend Week “Use A Stencil” Challenge and the Flower Challenge #6 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will find the time to check out
the wonderful Design Team cards at The Card Concept as well as the other two
challenge galleries- wonderful inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Using your computer along with a printer, print out the Power Poppy digital
image of Camellias and the sentiment from the digital set, Rose and Chamomile
onto white cardstock (you can use Word for this step, I use the retired Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio program :-)).
2).
Color the Camellias image using watercolor pencils along with a water brush,
layering color until you are satisfied.
Die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and mount onto dark gray
cardstock, trim and mount onto white cardstock.
3).
Use a flourish stencil with a stencil brush to apply Hickory Smoke Distress Ink
around the petals and apply a clear shimmer pen to the petals. Add a few white
highlights to the flower centers with an extra fine white paint pen.
4).
Emboss a piece of dark gray cardstock with a woodgrain embossing folder, trim
and mount a piece of gray satin ribbon (wrapping the ribbon ends behind the
panel). Mount onto the white card base.
5).
Adhere the floral panel to the card front and add a few pearls to the corners.
6).
Trim the sentiment, create the banner points by hand (I used a hexagon punch),
layer onto dark gray cardstock and mount onto the card with dimensional foam to
finish off the card.
