Next, on my last post, I was left a comment asking for the details on the card below. Thanks for the comment! I adore getting comments! Another picture of the card, and then the specifics for making the card:
Stamps used: Greenhouse Garden, Afterthoughts (Hostess set in main IBC)
Inks: Early Espresso, Wild Wasabi (for the flower stems) and Concord Crush (To make the flowers, ink your stamp, then stamp off once on a scrap paper before stamping on the project. When adding the flower detail, that is inked and directly stamped. It makes it look like two colors, but both are Concord Crush, one is just lighter than the other due to amount of ink on the stamp.)
Card stock (CS):
Early Espresso, 4.25x11, 2x2.75, 3x2, 1x5.25
Crumb cake: 4x5.25, 1.5x2.25
Concord Crush DSP from the Hostess level 1 paper pack. 2 7/8 x 1 7/8
Whisper white punched with the XL Decorative Label Punch found in the Holiday Mini on page 25.
Dry embossing using the Backgrounds Texturz Plate #1 on page 215 of the IBC. I took a sponge and lightly highlighted the raised portion of the paper with Early Espresso ink. Use a light touch.
The scallop down the right side is the Scallop Trim Border punch done in Early Espresso CS. I then added the smallest pearls from the jewel package of Basic Pearls on page 188. I wrapped a piece of 1/2" Concord Crush ribbon over the punch strip and tucked it under the scallop strip and Crumb Cake piece.
To finish the card, use a Corner rounder punch on the small piece of Crumb Cake, add Silver brads to the centers of the flowers and pop the flower image up on Dimensionals. To make the faux brads in the left corner, punch three 1/4" circles out of Concord Crush CS and adhere to the front with Mini Glue Dots. The VERY LAST THING you should do is add some Crystal Effects to the little circles to add the shine. These will need to dry, for a bit, but when they are dry, they look like brads!
There you go!
Thanks for stopping in. I appreciate your time.
