Oh how I love the Toile Tidings Suite – first there is this gorgeous cardinal and then they had to go and rope me in with the Toile patterned paper. Toile is another weak spot….Love it! This week I am focusing on this Bundle\/Suite for my creating inspirations. This card was created for a sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps<\/a><\/span><\/strong> #SSC214 using the sketch pictured below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used the baby wipe stamping technique for the branches so I could get the blended, naturally occuring look of the 3 inks I chose to use for the branches. I mixed together several drops of Real Red, Soft Suede and Old Olive re-inkers, let them spread and bleed as they would and then stamped away. Took several tries to get the branches the way I wanted them, but finally got pretty close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The card base is created from a half sheet of Very Vanilla Thick cardstock cut to 5-1\/2″ x 8-1\/2″ and scored at 4-1\/4″ for a top folding card. Since the Cardinal was going to be a vibrant red and I knew I was going to make the berries red as well I chose to go with a Garden Green mats and the Garden Green Toile (foliage) pattern from the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock cut to size with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies, I stamped the Cardinal on a berry covered branch image from the Christmas Countdown Cling Stamp Set with the Baby wipe pad I created above. On a scrap piece of Very Vanilla I stamped the larger branch image from the Toile Christmas Cling Stamp set also using the homemade baby wipe pad. To finish off the image, I did a little bit of water coloring just to give it the punch it needed to be the focal image and to carry its own weight next to the cardinal. The Cardinal is stamped several times on watercolor paper using the Stamparatus stamp positioning tool and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Then I rendered this gorgeous bird with a Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker, Real Red Water color pencil and a blender pen pulled everything together. The coordinating Christmas Cardinal dies were used to cut out the Cardinal and larger branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
