Stampin' Up! Team Challenge

 

Card Challenge with my Glitter Brigade Team

Each week my downline, affectionately called The Glitter Brigade, and I,  like to creatively challenge ourselves.  This week we chose to create a background using stamps, ink or anything else.  The only catch is that we could not use designer paper.  I chose to use the new Pattern Party Decorative Masks.  This was not the original design I had in mind, but I am very pleased with how this card turned out.  

 

What I used to make this card:

• 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" berry burst card base scored at 4 1/4"
• whisper white cardstock cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
• Layering Circle Framelits (item #141705) largest scallop circle used with old olive cardstock
• Stitched framelits (item #145372) largest circle used with whisper white cardstock
• Bunch of Blossoms stamp set (item #141573)
• Blossom Builder Punch (item #141469)
• Delicate White Doilies (item #141701)
• Rhinestone basic jewels (item #144220)
• 1/8" sheer ribbon old olive (item #144171)
• Berry Burst Ink
• Sponge daubers

 

How I created this card:

• Lay the lattice stencil on top of the  4"x 5 1/4" whisper white cardstock
• Ink the sponge dauber using berry burst ink.  Sponge a small amount of the ink off the first time onto scrap paper.  It is easier to add ink but you cannot take it away once it is sponged onto your card.  Carefully holding the stencil in place, sponge as much or as little ink as you like onto the whisper white cardstock

• wrap the 1/8" old olive ribbon around the stenciled piece two times and tie a bow.  This piece can now be attached to your card front
• Use the layering circle framelits to cut the largest scallop circle using old olive cardstock
• Cut the largest circle from the stitched framelits using whisper white
• stamp greeting onto the white circle using black ink and attach to the old olive scallop circle
• put adhesive onto the back of the old olive piece and place 1/4 of a delicate doilie as shown
• attach the circle pieces, along with the doilie attached to the front of the card
• stamp the flower images onto whisper white cardstock using berry burst ink.  For the first layer of the flower, I stamped the ink off once then stamped onto my cardstock.  The second layer I did not stamp off to give a deeper color to the flowers
• punch flowers out using the blossom builder punch
• punch leaves out using blossom builder punch and old olive cardstock
• attach to card as shown.  One flower has been raised using a dimensional
• place rhinestones as shown or where you like them best
