SC 04612...

Do you ever have a hard time trying to create something?  You know what you want in your head but putting it down on paper can be something entirely different. I really had no idea where I was going with this card when I started, but kept plugging along, playing with colours, checking out stamp sets & working out what will look best with what....

I also decided to go back to the colours when I started out with Stampin' Up!

This week's challenge has been bought to us by Gwen.  It is to create a Centre Fold Card using the sketch provided.

Measurements -
Base Card - Certainly Celery - 8 1/4" x 4 1/8" or 21cm x 15cm - Scored at 2 1/8" & 6 1/8" & folded towards the middle on both sides
Layer 1 x 2 - Not Quite Navy - 2" x 5 5/8" or 5cm x 14.5cm
Layer 2 x 2 - Whisper White - 1 7/8" x 5 1/2" or 4.5cm x 14cm
Layer 3 - Bashful Blue - 3 1/8" x 2 1/2" or 8cm x 6.5cm
Layer 4 - So Saffron - 3" x 2 3/8" or 7.5cm x 6cm
Layer 5 - Whisper White - 2 7/8" x 2 1/4" or 7cm x 5.5cm

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Pocket Silhouettes, Short & Sweet
Ink - Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Not Quite Navy, Certainly Celery
Cardstock - Whisper White, Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Not Quite Navy
Embossing Folder - Square Lattice
Punches - Scallop Edge Border
Accessories - Snail Adhesive, Multipurpose Glue, Bigshot

Prior to running the pieces of Whisper White Cardstock through the Bigshot, I randomly inked the Embossing Folder - Square Lattice with So Saffron, Bashful Blue & Certainly Celery Inks & sprayed water over the ink.  When doing this, ensure you have the card facing down onto the embossed side of the folder.  Let dry.

I randomly stamped my images onto the smaller piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Certainly Celery, So Saffron & Bashful Blue Inks.  The sentiment was stamped in Not Quite Navy Ink.

This piece was adhered to the piece of So Saffron Cardstock & then Bashful Blue Cardstock with Snail Adhesive.  I punched a scrap piece of Certainly Celery Cardstock with the Scallop Edge Border Punch before adhering to the bottom of the stamped Whisper White Cardstock with Snail Adhesive.

The 2 pieces of embossed Whisper White Cardstock were adhered to the pieces of Not Quite Navy using Multipurpose Glue & then to either side of the Certainly Celery Base Card with Snail Adhesive.

The small stamped images were adhered to the LHS of the card with Multipurpose Glue.
