Card Details:
Card Base is Whisper White Thick Cardstock cut to 8.5 in x 8 in and scored / folded at 4 in. I wanted the card to be short and long to really take on the look of a neighborhood. The houses and trees fit perfectly on this size base and you only had to cut one way.
A piece of Dapper Denim Cardstock was cut to 8.5 in x 3.875 in and adhered to the card base with Fast Fuse Adhesive.
I cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to 8.5 in x 3.5 in. I stamped the cloud in Versamark, added Clear StampinÂ’ Emboss Powder, melted it with the Heat Tool to create the shiny clouds. I then added Dapper Denim with an Aqua Painter to create the blue sky. I added Soft Suede (also with an Aqua Painter) to the bottom to create the look of the road. I added a light layer all the way to meet with the sky. Then I added an additional layer to darken it for the road.
I took the Clear Block I and put all the images I wanted to stamp, color and fussy cut. I stamped them all at once and three times with Basic Black Archival Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. I colored them with Classic Ink and Aqua Painters. The colors I used are the following: Crushed Curry – Lights in Windows, Crumb Cake – Roofs and Doors, Wild Wasabi – Trees, and the Houses and Cars were done in Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler and Dapper Denim. I fussy cut each image with the Paper Snips…ahhhh: Therapy! All were adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give the look of a true street / block.
The flagged (use the Triple Banner Punch) sentiment was created by inking up only the ‘welcome to our’ from the Welcome to Our Block stamp. I used Neighborhood instead since that was more appropriate for my card.
I added the Dapper Denim 3/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon under the sentiment, flagged the one end to match and wrapped the other. I took a small piece of Dapper Denim Bakers Twine, tied a bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
