Hi
Friends!!
We
had a little break over the Christmas/New Year holiday but we are so thrilled
to be back with The
Card Concept #84 {Sweet Inspiration} Challenge!!
I
love this beautiful vintage photo and was inspired by the beautiful roses, vellum
flowers, pearls and vintage feel to create a Shabby Chic/Mixed Media card.
I
am also linking this card to the Sunday Stamps #169 "Cool Winter Love" Challenge and the
Dies R Us #88 “Anything Goes” 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 as well as the
entries at the other challenge sites- gorgeous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Ink the Roses & Prayers (Unity Stamp Co) with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink,
stamp onto a piece of white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat
set with a heat tool. Once the embossing
has cooled, watercolor the rose image using water-based markers.
2).
Use a stencil brush with antique linen distress ink to “antique” the
paper. Using the brush with antique
linen along with a stencil, apply additional ink around the flower image. Die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle
die.
3).
Use a craft knife to cut around the lower leaf and stem, mount the panel onto a
piece of crumb cake cardstock, adhere the striped designer paper (Graphic45
Botanical Tea ) along with the strip of crocheted ivory lace and a strip of 1”
gray satin ribbon, wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the panel.
4).
Mount the entire panel onto a piece of dark gray cardstock, mount the entire panel
onto a white card base.
5).
Ink the sentiment from The Vine (Unity Stamp Co) with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink,
stamp onto the scrap piece of stenciled cardstock from step #2, cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and
heat set with a heat tool. Once the
embossing has cooled, die cut with a stitched rectangle die. Mount onto the card front under the cut leaf
and stem image. Adhere the die cut roses along with the punched leaves and pearls.
6).
Finish off the card using a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the die cut
roses and stamped rose petals.
