It is always nice to have a thank you card ready to go in
the card stash, so for the Anything Goes challenge this fortnight at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog to re-stock my stash.
Give the challenge a go and make your own Anything Goes
project. Remember to use a stamp older
than a year and identify the age, and enter up to 10 challenges including Retro Rubber!
I started with a sketch and color inspiration to get my
creative mojo flowing and keep the design fairly clean and simple. I started by pressure embossing white
cardstock with Cuttlebug Devine Swirl and then cut an angled section to match
the sketch. The raised portion and edges
are inked with Memento Teal Zeal. The
base card was masked to make a framed area for the textured section and then
inked with Memento Dandelion. Taylored
Expressions In and Out Thanks sentiment set from 2014 provided the two stamps
for the sentiments. They are stamped in
Memento Lilac Posies. The textured layer
is adhered and the card is finished lickety split!
I was inspired by the following challenges:
House that
Stamps Built M817 Tic-Tac-Toe (Texture, Bright Colors, Off the Edge
Neva, when I first looked at the image on the bottom panel, I thought it was stenciled. The inked embossing folder is a lovely detail and especially in the gorgeous teal color! And I love the sentiment that you used just above the diagonal cut! It's a great card for your stash!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and a great take on the sketch! That sentiment font is beautiful! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Neva!Thank you for joining us at Rubber Dance Color Challenge this month.
ReplyDeleteHello Neva: When I saw your card I immediately recognized the Embossing Folder you used, I have had it for a long time but I forgotten the name so, thank you so much for providing it, I'm going to create the sticker for it.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you used this EF with ink, love the teal color and the beautiful sentiment font.
Fabulous card.
Hugs,
Maria.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, Neva! Thanks for joining us at The House that Stamps Built!
ReplyDeleteNeva, I love your card, I wanted to play along with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge too, but none of my off the edge ideas worked for me this week! I love the 3 bright colours, that make the whole thing pop off of the white background. Clairex
ReplyDeleteSuch fun swirls!
ReplyDeleteThe inked embossing is a real attention getter and it matches well with the flowing font of the 'Thank You".
ReplyDeleteNeva, I love your card. I love how you embossed the background and inked it. A perfect card for the challenges you are playing in!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the inked embossing but really love that you put these colors together! Lovely all around!!!
