Crikey these weeks come round fast. It just seems like yesterday that we had our last challenge, but looking at my last post, I haven't posted much in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully, that will be fixed this week.
It was my turn to do the challenge over at
Sunny Challenges & thought it would be great if we had a Colour Theme. "
Pool Party" seems to be the in-colour for Christmas this year, so this should be an easy colour for everyone to join in the fun.
Unfortunately, I don't have any measurements for my card this week. I sold it last Sunday at the Handmade Expo. I had completely forgotten that I had created it for this challenge & only took a photo at the last moment, else I would have had to create another card.
Supplies -
Stamp Set - Ornament Keepsakes, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink - Island Indigo, Pool Party
Cardstock - Whisper White, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Smokey Slate
Embossing Folders - Pretty Print, Stylish Stripes
Framelits - Ornament Keepsakes
Punches - 2 1/2" Circle, Word Window, Modern Label
Ribbon - 1/8" Silver
Accessories - Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin' Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive
I run the piece of
Island Indigo CS through the
BS using
Stylish Stripes EF. This is fast becoming one of my favourite folders. The piece of
Pool Party CS was again put through the
BS, this time using
Pretty Print EF. I then ran a piece of the
Silver Ribbon across the middle of the joins & tied a bow. I adhered both these embossed pieces to a piece of
Whisper White CS prior to adhering to
Base Card - Smokey Slate.
I stamped 3 different size snowflake images onto
Whisper White CS - 1 x
Island Indigo, 1 x
Pool Party & a smaller one again in
Island Indigo. The 2 largest were then run through the
BS using the matching
Framelits prior to layering on top of each other with
Stampin' Dimensionals. I cut out the middle of the small snowflake & adhered to the centre.
I punched a circle from
Whisper White CS with the
2 1/2" Circle Punch, adhered to
Base Card prior to adhering the snowflakes to the centre with
Stampin' Dimensionals.
The greeting was stamped onto
Whisper White CS in
Pool Party Ink, punched with the
Word Label Punch & adhere to a piece of
Island Indigo which had been punched with the
Modern Label Punch. It was then adhered to the
Base Card with
Stampin' Dimensionals.
To finish the card, I placed a small
Rhinestone Jewel in the centre, as well as either side of the sentiment.
