Color & Contour – Thank You

Playing and playing with some of the new products and mixing them up with the stash of some other goodies found in The Studio.

Creating for a few challenges:  Sketch – Paper Players (PP538), Colors – Colour INKspiration (CI98), Theme and Materials – Paper Craft Crew (PCC424).

And this is the result:

For the PCC424 Tic Tac Toe, I chose the Ribbon, Circle and Thank You sentiment.  The PP538 Sketch allowed any shape, so this element is a Circle.  The Cross Strip became the Ribbon.

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Soft Sea Foam.
• Additional Background Panel: (4⅛” x 5⅜”) Soft Sea Foam.  The panel was dry-embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.  I like to use an additional panel when I use ribbon because you can finish off the edge so nicely when it is attached behind.
• Accent Mat: (3½” x 4⅞”) Pear Pizzazz .
• Focal Panel: (3” x 4⅜”) Basic White.  The panel was die-cut with the Stitched Rectangle Die.
• Circle: (2⅞”) Gray Granite.  The circle was die-cut using that element from the Painted Labels Dies.
• Focal Image: (Flowers) Basic White cardstock.  Three outline Flowers from the Color & Contour stamp set were stamped on to Basic White cardstock with Gray Granite ink.  The coordinating two-step in-fill Flower stamp was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink with Magenta Madness ink added to the center with a Sponge Dauber.  The in-fill Flowers were lined up with the outline Flowers and stamped.  The Flowers were then die-cut with the matching Scalloped Contour Die.  Light So Saffron was added to the center of the Flowers with a Stampin’ Blend.
• The sentiment, Thank You for everything, from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set, was added to the bottom of the Focal Panel in Gray Granite ink.
• I chose to add a few Leaves to the Focal Panel as well.  I used the Gray Granite Stampin’ Write Marker to ink only the portion I wanted and stamped them upper left and lower right.  Using another stamp in the set, I selectively colored a flower fill-in with the Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ White Marker and stamped the color onto the Leaves.
• The Cross Strip: (Ribbon) Whisper White Linen.

The card was ready to assemble.  All elements were adhered and it all came together nicely, wouldn’t you agree?  Only a few days to wait until you can get these stamp sets for your collection.
