Hi
Friends!
It’s
time for The Card Concept #74 “Freshly Elegant” Challenge! Wow, I love the elegance of this photo with
the pinks, black striped pillow and Eiffel Tower bookends as well as the lips,
ampersands and all of the gold!
I am also participating on the CAS Mix-Up May Challenge - Stamping, Splatter and Your Choice (Watercolor, Washi Tape, Nuvo Crystal Drops) and the Inkspirational #135 "Urban" Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will find the time to check out
the rest of the wonderful Design Team cards at The Card Concept- gorgeous inspiration
from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Apply Spun Sugar and Festive Berry Distress Stain onto a craft mat, lightly
spritz with water and place a piece of white cardstock into the ink. Dry with a Heat Tool, re-apply as needed to
achieve the result you desire.
2).
Trim the panel to 4” x 5 ¼”, add the various Washi Tape pieces to the lower
portion of the card front. Mount onto a
piece of black cardstock and adhere to a white card base.
3).
Using the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge, stamp onto the card front
with Spun Sugar Distress Ink and the smaller splatter stamp with archival black
ink.
4).
Die cut the Eiffel Tower and the Congrats sentiment from black cardstock and again from gold foil. Layer the gold foil on top of
the black cardstock, mount the sentiment directly onto the card front and
use dimensional foam to mount the Eiffel Tower.
5).
To finish off the card, add Pale Gold Nuvo Crystal Drops to the card (a few
were “smooshed” to create a splatter effect as well).
