This week we were to create with texture......yummo!!!!
My brand new Manhattan Flower Textured Impression Die came yesterday afternoon....so I HAD to use it for today's challenge :) And I liked last week's color challenge so well, I decided to pull those colors out again :):):) I ran my card base through my big shot with the textured impressions die and the most beautiful embossing happened....right before my eyes! One thing I love about Stampin' Up!'s impression folders is that they are the actual size of a card front...unlike the cuttlebug folders, which are about a 1/4 of an inch too small......way to go Stampin' Up! Anyway...the base is sage shadow. I cut out the bottom portion of the card to accentuate the flowers. I then took my white craft pad and a sponge dauber and rubbed ink over the roses...it was completely experimental, but I really liked the results. Next I took a piece of close to cocoa and stamped the damask stamp from friends 24-7 along the bottom edge and adhered that to the card front. I then had to tie a bow with the white organdy ribbon - so delish!!!Here is a closer look at the texture...it is hard to capture on film... :(
What??You wonder where the entire sentiment panel came from??
Let me tell you....the Occasions mini - what a delight!
The "celebrate" sentiment is from matchbox messages. I just inked it up with my sage shadow stampin' write marker, omitting the frame that came with it. Then the oval border stamp is from Oval All - I inked it up with my chocolate chip stampin' write marker, omitting the rest of the stamp. I can really see myself mixing and matchig the borders and sentiments of these two sets alot! I then punched it out with the large oval punch...perfect fit! Then.........I punched a SCALLOPED OVAL from the upcoming scallop oval punch.....can you believe it???? I adhered that entire thing right under my bow.
What do you think??? I can't wait to get some more time to play with my new goods.....maybe later today.
