White Out! AKA white
on white with one other color is our challenge at Retro Rubber to start out
2018.
One of my new favorite colors is Rose Gold, not quite copper,
but more of a pint tinge. A childhood
friend recently lost her mother to Alzheimer’s and I decided to make a sympathy
card for this challenge.
I started with Spellbinders Mystical Embrace and die cut two
layers of white card stock. The card
base is gently inked with Delicata Rose Gold to add just a hint of color. The center of the large die cut is more
thoroughly inked. The sentiment by Unity
Stamp Company “. . . a beautiful life, blessed memories” set from February 2015
is stamped with Delicata Rose Gold and heat embossed with clear embossing
powder. Heartfelt Creations Open Vintage Floret stamps and die created the
flowers. I used their new 3D Rose Mold
Shaping kit to quickly shape all the layers.
One hint here, let the flowers dry completely before adhering them
together, you will be frustrated if you don’t wait! The card is adhered together and pearl
accents are added to the centers of the flowers and to strategic points on the
die cuts. I think this makes an elegant
sympathy card and it is on its way to my friend who was her mother’s care giver
for 10 years.
Please do join along with us at Retro Rubber and create your
own project. Remember to use a stamp
that is older than a year and let us know how long it has been in your
stash. We also ask that you enter only
10 challenges including Retro Rubber.
