I have the privilege of teaching a card workshop at a senior living facility. This is the card we will be making.
To achieve the crisp border on the doily, I first inked the entire stamp with crumb cake, then colored the edges with a cherry cobbler marker as well as the small edge of the center.
Simple card using the ornament keepsakes bundle. Also used square lattice EF, vintage wallpaper EF, finishing touches edgelits. Ornaments are inked with baja breeze and so saffron.
(I thought I should do a simple, almost monochromatic card after my previous wildly colored post "colorful woodgrain")
SUPPLIES:
stamps - elements of style, teeny tiny wishes
ink - espresso, crumb cake, so saffron, always artichoke
cardstock - so saffron, espresso, whisper white, crumb cake
accessories - bitty banners framelits, labels framelits, vintage wallpaper EF, square lattice EF, crumb cake ribbon, itty bitty punches, pearls
I inked the vintage wallpaper EF with crumb cake and espresso for the white background panel. I cut crumb cake with labels framelit, inked the vintage wallpaper EF with so saffron and crumb cake, then embossed.
Colored the flower from elements of style with blender pen and crumb cake, espresso, so saffron, always artichoke.
SUPPLIES:
stamps - sincere salutations, lovely as a tree
ink - pumpkin pie, rich razzleberry, melon mambo, wild wasabi, going green, black stazon
cardstock - espresso, whisper white
accessories - primrose petals stitched ribbon, scallop oval and scallop punch, large scallop edgelit, woodgrain embossing folder
To make the background on the woodgrain, I colored the negative of the embossing folder with a pumpkin pie and rich razzleberry pen.
For the tree scene, I stamped the tree in stazon black, masked off the sun, and sponged in the various colors.
To make this card I colored the negative portion of the woodgrain embossing folder with a crumb cake marker before embossing the white cardstock. Punched corners with ticket punch. Matted with espresso; punched corners with ticket punch.
Stamped lovely as a tree in black stazon, then sponged crumb cake, espresso, baja breeze, not quite navy, and going gray; cut with labels framelit.
Cut crumb cake with labels framelit, embossed with square lattice EF. Added decorative label in baja breeze, and modern label in espresso.
Stamped happy birthday from teeny tiny wishes set in not quite navy, punched with word window and matted with modern label. Added mini brads and small circle from itty bitty punch (I punched this out of the embossed woodgrain before adhereing the tree). Adhered to crumb cake card.
(Added espresso sponging to the edge of all the pieces before adhering)
