I created this card for last weekend’s VSN challenge called ARRRR. The challenge was to create a card with at least three things on there starting with an R. That made me think of the shoe house image from Taylored Expressions Cozy Cottages. It has a Roof! I used Red, round shapes, Rhinestones, Ribbon and the word Road in the sentiment.
I started the card by stamping the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. The image was cut and embossed with a Classic Circle Nestabilities die and colored with Copic Markers (Shoe: R22, R24, R27, R29, N0, N1, N3, N5, N7 Roof: E23, E25, E27, E29 Grass YG01, YG03, YG17).
Next I placed the circle die back over my image, added a few clouds cut with the Cloud Die-namic Die and airbrushed the sky with Copic Marker B02. The image was layered on a piece of black cardstock, cut and embossed with the next larger Circle Nestabilities die and the edge was paper pierced. The layers were then adhered to a piece of white cardstock that had been cut with the largest of the Eyelet Circle Nestabilities dies.
A 3 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Pebbles Happy Go Lucky patterned paper was adhered to a 4″ x 5″ piece from the same paper collection. The bottom corners were rounded before both layers were stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of black cardstock. May Arts Organdy Ribbon was tied around the strip before the layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock, folded in half.
A Recollection Rhinestone swirl was cut apart and cut and adhered to the upper right and the lower left hand corner of the card before the image was adhered over it with dimensionals. The sentiment is also from Crazy Cottages. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah white cardstock and cut and embossed with a small Circle Nestabilities die. The inner part was colored with Copic Markers B0000 and Booo,
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
