Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend.
It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photos are Happy Thanksgiving or Merry Christmas. You get to pick which photo you want to work with, 184a or 184b. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Banners Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set along with the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper and the Snowflake Vellum Specialty Paper for my Clean and Layered card today. I went with inspiration photo 184b, Merry Christmas and was inspired by the pine tree, snowflakes and colors.
I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #184a or 184b. How are you inspired by the photos?
I started by adhering a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to an Old Olive card base. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Vellum paper over the pine tree paper using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal just under where the sentiment was going to go.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the banner image from Christmas Banners stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the image out using my Christmas Banners Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Banners stamp set in Old Olive Ink.
I adhered some of the Gold Simply Elegant Trim to the card front using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals over the trim. I added a few Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls to the banner.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Very Best Occasions stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pine bough image from the Christmas Banners stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Old Olive card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine bough image from the Christmas Banners stamp set on the top of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
