Hi Everyone,
Today I am very excited to say I am entering my card into some challenges for the first time. The first challenge is to create a Thank you Card. The Altenew Educators that are teaching my classes are hosting a blog hop called Giving Thanks to Heros. They want to thank all the servicemen and woman, doctors, nurses and all front line workers, so I decided to join in on this. I think this is such a great idea.
The second challenge is for the Simon Says Stamp blog. Today’s challenge is Something Metallic. So the idea is to come up with a card that has some kind of metallic shine to it. I decided to gold heat emboss my card. I chose to use the Altenew Peony Bouquet Stamp and die set. Here is a picture of my card.
Once I entered into the first two challenges I decided to just go for it and enter the card into more challenges. See full list below.
First I prepped my paper with my anti-static powder. Then I Stamped the outlined image of the Peony stamp onto some Neenah Classic crest 110lb card stock using versamark embossing ink. Then I embossed the image using Ranger gold embossing powder and my heating tool. When I was done, I took the solid image of the Peony and stamped it with Altenew Pink Pearl. Then I stamped the third layer with the Altenew Coral Bliss Ink. The last layer was stamped with Altenew Heart Beat. When I was done I die cut both images out using the Peony Bouquet die set.
Now I used the largest My Favorite Things Wonky Rectangle die to die cut a border around from a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Cardstock. Then I heat embossed gold leaves randomly on the Wonky Rectangle panel I just cut. When I was done, I used Altenew Forest Glades to stamp the solid image of the leaves. I also heat embossed gold leaves with berries on them. Then I stamped the leaves with Altenew Forest Glades and the berries with Coral Bliss Ink. When I was done I die cut the Thanks Sentiment using Altenew Gold Mirror Cardstock. I also cut three of the Thanks Sentiments out of White Cardstock to give it added dimension.
Now comes the exciting part. I get to assemble the card. Using Foam tape I adhere the Peonies onto the card panel. Then I glue to the back of the Thanks Sentiment and attach it in the middle of the card. Using Craft foam I cut a rectangle to 5″ x 3 3/4″ and adhere it to the back of the panel. Then I glue it to piece of Neenah Classic Crest Cardstock folded to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″.
I just love sparkle on my cards so I add some Pinkfresh Studio Gems randomly on the card.
This completes my card for today. Hope you like it!
