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! To A Wild Rose:

The recipe:

Card base: Whisper White 4-1/4 x 11. scored at 5-1/2

Mat: Pressed Petals Wood Grain DSP 4 x 5-1/4

Panel: Soft Suede 4 x 1-3/4 Embossed with the Basket weave EF

Trim: Whisper White Cut with the Magnolia Memory Die

Square: Whisper White cut with your Stitched Shaped Dies (second largest)

Square mat: Soft Suede cut with your Layering Square Dies

The details:

• Stamp your rose from the “To A Wild Rose” stamp set onto Whisper White card stock With Pineapple Punch and Crushed Curry Ink.  This is the order in which I stamped mine,
• Stamp the outline rose with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
• Stamp the solid image with Pineapple Punch Ink
• Stamp the partial image with Crushed Curry Ink
• Die cut your floral image out with the Wild Rose Dies
• Stamp out your 3 leaves  in the same manner as the rose using Soft Sea Foam and Granny Apple Green Ink
• Die cut your leaves with the Wild Rose Dies
• Die Cut the Trim using the die from Magnolia Memory Die set

The Sentiment:

• Color in your sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthday  using the ink to rubber technique.  (Color in the sentiment with your Black and Crushed Curry Stampin Markers)
• Mount the sentiment onto the Soft Suede Scallop mat

Putting the card together:

• Mount the Pressed Petal wood grain DSP  onto the card front
• Attach the Whisper White trim piece with snail
• Attach the embossed Soft Suede panel on top of the trim piece
• Mount your flower with dimensionals to the left side of the card and on top of the Soft Suede embossed panel
• Attach your sentiment square to the right side of the rose, slightly tucked under some of the petals
• Attach your leave with glue dots
• To finish the card:
• Attach a Crushed Curry Crinkled Seam Binding Bow
• Attach a Gold Designer Elements  to the rose and one on the sentiment piece
• Add a few rhinestones and you are done
