In The Moment – You Are The Best

Tuesday – Design time: Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#421).  Using the Stampin’ Up! Catalog Samples for inspiration and changing none, some or all the elements as you recreate a card is such a great place to start…

Today, I was inspired by Heart’s Quest (#36) Best Friends Day; Tic Tac Toe (#221) for Color, Tools and Stripes; and Can You Handle The Pressure (#37) for Stripes with Texture.

Here is the result:

IN THE MOMENT – TIMELESS ARRANGMENTS – CT421 – HQCB36 – TTTC221 – CYHTP37

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Azure Afternoon cardstock.
  • Background Panel: (5⅜” x 4⅛”) Basic White cardstock.
    • Using a Blending Brush and one of the Stencil Masks from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks set, Azure Afternoon ink was added to the panel.
  • Accent Mat: (4⅝” x 3⅝”) Azure Afternoon cardstock.
  • Accent Panel: (4½” x 3½”) Basic White cardstock and Basic White cardstock Off-Cut Strips.
    • The Strips were dry-embossed with the all three of the On-Line Exclusives Basics 3D Embossing Folders and adhered to the panel in a diagonal striped pattern.
  • Accent Mat: (2¾” x 2¾”) Misty Moonlight cardstock.
  • Focal Image: (2⅝” x 2⅝”) Azure Afternoon Watercolor Wash patterned piece of paper from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper pack.
    • The Girl in the Window image from the In The Moment stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Black Embossing Powder.
    • The Girl was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Colors chosen: Top – Light Boho Blue; Jeans– Light Misty Moonlight, Pillow Front – Light Azure Afternoon; and Pillow Back, Coffee Mug and Hair Barrette – Dark Azure Afternoon.
    • Sentiments: You Are The Best and Love You from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set were also stamped with Versamark ink but heat-set with White Embossing Powder.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  Three Boho Blue 2023/2025 In-Color Dots were added for a bit of bling.

Wishing we were having coffee together, friend.

  1. Excellent card and I’m so excited that you are the first entry for this challenge at HQCB!!! I’m grateful for your participation and how you interpreted the special day occasion along with the added ‘love’. Your friendship card is amazing and I really like how you combined it with other challenge themes that are going at this time. –Becca/HQCB
