….well, if you count Crazy Frank, it’s card sample #2 already!
I had a blast making this card. I am still a bit trigger happy with the ticket corner punch and the hardware….but I like how it turned out. The triple layer flower head is my favorite part, I think.
My card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Really Rust cardstock folded in half, followed by a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Wild Wasabi and a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Chocolate Chip. On both layers I punched each corner with the ticket corner punch.
The third layer is pieced together with two pieces of the Apple Cider Designer paper from the Holiday Mini catalog.
For the circular accents in the sketch I used a Chocolate Chip and a River Rock punchout made with the Scallop Circle punch. I sponged the River Rock scallop circle and used my paper piercing tool to add small holes in each scallop. Next I added a 1 3/8″ Chocolate Chip circle. Then I stamped the flower stamp from the True Friend set in chocolate chip and punched it out withthe 1 1/4″ circle punch. Next I stamped the same image in Really Rust, cut out the flower and attached it with a Aged Copper Brad.
The Chocolate Chip scallop circle was topped with a 1 3/8″ River Rock Circle, stamped with the triple flower image in River Rock and paper pierced.
The horizontal layers are a 1 1/4″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Wild Wasabi, a 1″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Chocolate chip and medium size twill to wich I added a ribbon buckle from the Antique BrassHodgepodge Hardware.
The center image layers measure 2 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ for the Wild Wasabi, 2″ x 3 1/4″ for the Chocolate chip and 1 3/4″ x 3″ for the Very Vanilla cardstock. The Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla layers had all four corners punched with the ticket corner punch.
I stamped the Very Vanilla cardstock with the triple flower in River Rock ink second generation (I inked the image, stamped off on a piece of scrap paper and then stamped on the cardstock) and sponged the edges. Then I stamped the big flower in Wild Wasabi. I added the dotted border with All in a Row and Chocolate Chip ink (You know I HAD to use it on my card somewhere).
Next I stamped the stem with leaves again in Wild Wasabi on Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out the leaves. I stamped the flower head twice in Chocolate Chip, once in Really Rust. I cut all around one of the Chocolate Chip flowers. The Really Rust flower I cut just inside the dotted lines. The last Chocolate Flower I cut just the inside flower part out. I layered all three together and topped it off with another Aged Copper Brad.
Small Twill was wrapped around the Very Vanilla/Chocolate Chip layers and a piece of the Ribbon Originals Jersey tied on. It the center sits a Antique Brass Paper Clip. I added a Antique Brass Brad in each corner of the Wild Wasabi layer.
The Saying is from True Friend as well. I just inked up the Friend part with my Chocolate Chip ink spot and stamped it on Very Vanilla. I sponged River Rock ink on the edges and added an oval frame from the Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware over it.
