For the Love of Stampin’

Today on SCS the challenge was to use ruffles!  I am really not a ruffle girl but I did my best attempt!  Here is my card

I also used yesterday’s sketch challenge for the layout of this card.  It is a long card 9 1/4″ x  8 scored at 4 and also 3/4″ for the fold on the bottom.  I made the cardbase out of Old Olive.  I layered the cherries from Summer Picnic.  To make the ruffle I used the wide red ribbon and did a basting stitch along one side and made the ruffle.  I used my coluzzle cutter to make the two larger ovals and used glue dots to adhere the ribbon ruffle to the back side of the bashful blue oval.  I think that is all of the stuff that is not self explanatory!  My boys are playing outside so I have to go check on them!  Hope you are having a happy day!

This is the card I created for Kristina’s color challenge this week:Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Soft Sky and Very Vanilla.  I couldn’t use Very Vanilla because I needed glossy cardstock so I had to use white but I love vanilla in that combo and will use it soon. You can’t see all the color in the picture but I took it at least ten times and none of then turned out great.  I started the a cho. chip card base stamped with the sanded BG.  I layered soft sky that is paper pierced, close to cocoa and the white glossy cardstock that I embossed with Dark Brown embossing powder.  I sponged soft sky and close to cocoa in the negative areas of the paisley BG after it was embossed.  I added ribbon, hardware and the sentiment and I was done!  I have to go now but will be back later to share the SCS for today!
