| | I made this card for this week's featured stamper. Nancy is our hostess and she has selected the very talented Patty Bennett as this week's featured stamper. I have been a fan of Patty's for quite some time now so I had to play today.
I went through Patty's gallery very slowly 3 times before finally selecting this fabulous card: Share What You Love Friend card by PattyBennett at Splitcoaststampers. I really love how Patty used the embossed design as a focal point on her beautiful card. I do not have any of the other products Patty used so I had to improvise.
Using the StampinUp Birch background stamp, I stamped an A2-size panel using Colorbox Silver pigmen ink. There is a nice sheen to this that I really like. Embossed a blush blossom panel with the lovely floral embossing folder and adhered this to a blush blossom card base. Then I stamped 3 each of the 2 different sizes of daisies using StampinUp Blush Blossom ink. Used a bone folder to curl the petals a bit, punched them out with the coordinating punch, then glued them together. Removed the legs from both gemstone brads and glued just the top of the brad to each daisy center.
Stamped the leaves in 2 layers using the same color of gray ink. I stamped off for the first layer, then stamped the 2nd layer using full-strength ink. Die cut the leaves. Cut a 1 1/8" piece off the birch panel I stamped earlier and adhered that directly to the embossed card panel. Added a 1/8" piece of silver glitter cardstock to the top of the birch piece, then stamped the sentiment using a MISTI and black ink.
Added clear wink of stella to all the raised areas of the embossed pattern for a little shine, then adhere the flowers and leaves to the card front.
This card would never have happened if I had not seen Patty's beautiful inspiration card. Enjoy your well-deserved week in the spotlight Patty. Thank you for this terrific challenge Nancy and thank you for looking. ~Karen. |
