I was having technical difficulties earlier today with my blog post. I apologize for the incomplete post earlier.
Hi Stampers, It’s Alternate Monday day. That means I am sharing a card taken from the blog hop that I participate in each Thursday. I am taking either the sketch or color challenge and making a second card that is close to or similar to the posted card from the hop. I want to inspire you to get different looks for your card by mixing it up a bit by color and design. Today I used the same layout, with a twist and changed the colors to give the card an “Alternate” look.
Stampin’ Up! Birds and Branches:
The recipe:
Card base: Whisper White 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2
Mat: In Good Taste DSP 4 x 5-1/4
Front panel: Whisper White 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
The details:
- Die cut the circle/leaf image die from the Birds and More die set with the Whisper White panel
- Stamp the bird images from the Birds and Branches onto Whisper White card stock as follows:
- Birds: Ink the solid bird image with Bumble Bee and then follow with the details bird image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
- Die cut the birds using the die from Birds and More
- Stamp the leaf images using the Forever Fern Stamp set as follows:
- Large leaf: Just Jade
- Small Leaf: Pear Pizzazz
- Round leaf: Bumble Bee
- After stamping die cut the leaf images using the dies from Forever Flourishing
- Stamp your sentiment onto Whisper White Card stock using the saying from Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set
- Punch the greeting out with the Classic Label Punch
Putting the card together:
- Adhere your In Good Taste DSP to the front of the card with adhesive
- Adhere your Whisper White die cut /embossed panel on top of the In Good Taste panel with Dimensionals
- Adhere a cluster of leaves to each side of the circle die cut with glue dots
- Attach a bird to the bottom of each cluster of leaves with a Dimensional
Finishing details:
- Add a double Metallic Trim bow to the bottom left bird
- Adhere some Just Jade Enamel dots and Metallic Pearls here and there to the front of the card and your are finished
Here is the card inspiration:
