Here is a card I made for the Color Challenge two weeks ago. The colors were Summer Sun, Kraft, Riding Hood Red and Black.
The card base is a 4 1/2″ x 9 piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock folded in half. The edges were sponged
Next is a 4 1/8″ Basic Black square. The corners were punched with the ticket corner punch. It was layered with a 4″ square of Parisian Breeze Designer paper that was sanded. The edges were punched with the same punch as well. The paper was sanded and the edges were paper pierced.
The horizontal strip measures 1 7/8″ x 4″ and is sponged Riding Hood Red cardstock. The bottom edge was punched with the Eyelet Border Punch and three clear Rhinestone brads were added to the left hand side.
The the full berry image was first inked up with Summer Sun. Riding Hood Red ink was added with Fantastix over the berries, Sahara Sand over the stem. Then the image was stamped on to Whisper White cardstock. Next I masked the image and stamped En Francais over it with Sahara Sand. I cut the image out with Label Nestablities and sponged the edges first with Summer Sun, then with Sahara San. It was layered on a black Nestabilities cut out and white gel pen dots were added all around. A small hole was punched on the top right and White Taffeta Ribbon was tied down with a Hardware piece from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware.
I punched out a designer label out of Summer Sun and sponged it with Sahara Sand. Next the sentiment was stamped in Black Stazon on Whisper White and punched out with the large oval punch. It was taped to the Designer label punchout, paper pierced and taped to the image. Another Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware piece was added over it.
We will be in Trier today all day. I can’t wait to show the kids the Roman ruins there. It’s the oldest German city and goes back to 58 B.C.
