To a Wild Rose Inspire Create Stamping Challenge
Hello everyone, hope everyone is having a great day to this point. So glad you stopped by to visit!
Today I have a card created to answer a theme challenge I took on from Inspire.Create.Challenge #045 | Theme Challenge. The Theme for this challenge is Embossing. If you have a spare minute or two, try popping over to their web site to learn more about this challenge. Also check out what other talented designers have come up with for this and other challenges.
For this card, I definately wanted the various methods of embossing to do all the talking. I tried to keep it fairly simply. The card base is a top folding Whisper White Thick 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card. The mat is a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock I ran through my machine using the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. On the Crumb cake the embossed words were very hard to make out, so I “distressed” the words a bit by going over them with a sponge dauber using Soft Suede Ink so they would stand out a bit more. Once the Crumb Cake embossing was highlighted to my I satisfaction, I ran a piece of Purple Posy through the machine with the Country Floral DTIEF. I then cut it down to a smaller size to fit the front and show off more of the script embossing. To soften the seam of the Purple Posy embossed piece, I placed a 6″ length of Rococo Rose Linen Ribbon over the top seam, wrapped around to the back and attached with double sided tape.
The Rose and leaves are from the To a Wild Rose Bundle. The rose image is a 3 step stamp. I stamped the outline in full strength Rococo Rose Ink. The solid fill is stamped off (2nd generation) Rococo Rose. The 3rd step is the detail or shading of the image, I used full strength Rococo Rose. I stamped the leaves from the same set on Crumb Cake card stock, using Crumb Cake Ink. Using the coordinating dies, I ran the images through the die cutting machine. Using a scrap piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, I embossed a sentiment from Tropical Chic Stamp set in Copper, then ran the strip through the die cutting machine using a Rectangle Stitched Framelit Die. Once all the pieces had been cut and arranged, I used Liquid adhesive to keep them together. The ensemble was then attached to the front of the card using dimensionals.
