This is my sample for CC712. Stef is our hostess and she has chosen pool party, coastal cabana, mossy meadow and silver. Dessert Option this week is heat embossing.
For my card I used the Stampin-Up scenic season stamp and created a simple background scene. I bought this stamp years ago and have never inked it until today. But I thought the image was perfect for the colors that Stef picked.
This stamp set has a sentiment that I taped off before inking. Stamped the trees in mossy meadow ink and then used wink of stella for shimmer. Then I taped off a portion of the trees and just stamped the little bird that is also part of the stamp set in coastal cabana ink. I repeated this part 2 more times to stamp 3 birds.
To cover the dessert option, I stamped some background snowflakes in Versa-mark ink and then used white embossing powder and heat set.
To create the sky, I sponged tumbled glass distress ink over the snowflakes for an emboss resist technique. I used more of the tumbled glass ink as a border around the layering panel.
For my peace phrase, I used a CottageCutz die and cut it in coastal cabana cardstock. I cut it 3 times to give more dimension and sponged with coastal cabana ink. The peace dove is part of the same die.
I finished off my card by mounting it on a silver cardstock base to cover that color in the palette. That's my sample for this week. Hope you can play along with us. The DT has more samples for your inspiration, and we can't wait to see what you create with the colors.
