Hills of Tuscany – Sepia Study

Hi!  Back again for the Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#446) sketch where we select a card sample from one of the Stampin’ Up! catalogs. Today’s sketch is found on page 30 of the January – April Mini Catalog.

I kept the layout pretty much the same but changed out the stamp set, showcasing the Hills of Tuscany stamp set and the Everyday Details Dies set, two new additions to my collection to play along with As You See It (#316).  For the colors, I opted for the Tic Tac Toe Board left column suggested by Color Dare (#585) for a study in Sepia tones.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4⅛” x 5⅜”) Very Vanilla cardstock dry-embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
• Accent Circles: Copper Clay Painted Brush patterned piece of paper from the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper pack and Pale Papaya Script patterned piece of paper from the retired Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper pack.
  • Using the (2⅜”) and (1⅞”) Circle dies from the Everyday Details Dies set, the two accent circles were die-cut from each piece of patterned paper.
• Sentiment Circle: Copper Clay cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, Hello, from the Hills of Tuscany stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
  • The sentiment was die-cut with the (1⅜”) Circle die, from the same set of dies.
• Focal Image – Scene: (4¼” x 4¼”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
  • The Scene was created with a variety of Builder stamp images from the Hills of Tuscany stamp set.
  • Ground and Trees – Copper Clay (for Mocha) in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd Generation stamping.
  • Sky Clouds – Petal Pink (for Peach).
  • Villa – Peach Parfait (retired) (for Papaya).
  • Roof, Sun and Flowers – Calypso Coral (for a deeper Papaya tone) both 1^st and 2^nd Generation stamping.
  • The Scene was die-cut with the (3¼”) Circle die from the same die set.

The pieces were arranged to resemble the sketch with the Focal Scene Circle popped up with Dimensionals.

I think I am going to have fun with this stamp set.  Creating a variety of idyllic scenes with all the builder pieces.  Give it a try!
