Online Card Classes: Summer Card Camp 2011

For the first card, I used 2nd generation stamping with the Hit the Spot Stamp Set circles and then stamped the outside of the circles.

I deliberately chose to not line up the circles with the border to acheive a sloppy look.

I then chose the chipboard Irresistibles Eclectic Alphabet

and applied black ink with a sponge.

The colors that I chose for this color challenge were gypsy, cotton candy, sky and sunset.

Supplies used (All CTMH):

Cardstock: White Daisy, Black

Inks: Gypsy, Cotton Candy, Sky, Sunset, Black

Stamp Sets: Hit the Spot

Other: Irresistibles Eclectic Alphabet, sponge

Same colors used here.

I used the Aspiration stamp set to create the background paper, as well as for the big focal flowers.

I random stamped on the background paper and then heat embossed in white.

I then ran a sponge dauber over the embossed flowers in a circular motion.

For the focal flowers, I also embossed them in white embossing powder.

I  used my markers to create the coloring on the flowers and buffed the flower with a cloth to remove any ink from my marker from the white embossing.

I cut out the focal flowers and attached to the card.

I used the Kanji Phrases stamp set for the sentiment.

I based this pattern off of a sketch from class.

Supplies used (All CTMH):

Cardstock: Gypsy, White Daisy, Black

Inks: Gypsy, Cotton Candy, Sky, Sunset

Stamp Sets: Aspiration, Kanji Phrases

Markers: Gypsy, Cotton Candy, Sky, Sunset

Embossing: White Daisy

Other: Heat Gun, Micro Tip Scissors, sponge daubers

On this last card, I used an additional color combo that we were given.

It removed the sunset and added pear in it's place.

I used the Fill in the Blank Stamp Set for the clouds

and heat embossed them in white.

I stamped the hot air balloons in pear, cotton candy and gypsy

and then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.

I cut them out and added them to the card with

3D foam tape.
