Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans.
It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Rustic Holiday. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Mixed Media card. I was inspired by the Poinsettias in the photo along with the colors.
I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our Challenge #164. How are you inspired by this photo?
I started by embossing a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to the panel and then adhered the layered panel to a Thick Very Vanilla card base.
On a panel on Cherry Cobbler cardstock I stamped the poinsettia images from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Versamark Ink. I stamped 1 large, 1 medium and 2 small. I immediately sprinkled them with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the images out using my Poinsettia Dies. On a panel of Garden Green cardstock I cut 2 of the largest poinsettias dies and embossing die using my Poinsettia Dies. I adhered the large and medium flowers together using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure the petals alternated. I adhered the 2 small flowers together using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure the petal alternated. I adhered the layered small flowers to the large layered petals using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 1 of the large Garden Green flowers to the back of the layered Cherry Cobbler flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut apart the other Garden Green flower using my Paper Snips and adhered the leaves where I thought they should go using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels in the center of the flower.
I cut a few of the sprigs dies from the Poinsettia Dies out of a panel of Gold Metallic Paper. I adhered them under the flower. On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I tied a small bow using the Gold Simply Elegant Trim and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I had cut 4 of the tiny poinsettias from the Poinsettia Dies from the panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I adhered them together alternating petals using Glue Dots and adhered them on either side of the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel to the center. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base.
To complete my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia image from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.
