Wildflower Meadow - Happy Birthday - Card 3

This is the third card in the series I am doing on the stamp set "Wildflower Meadow".  One of my students is having a birthday days before class so this would make a great card for her.

For this card, I isolated one of the images on the stamp, inked it up with markers (Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Raspberry Ripple) and stamped in onto Whisper White card stock.  I then die cut it using the Apothecary accent die and matted it with Raspberry Ripple card stock. Rhinestones were placed in the centers of the flowers.
The base card is Raspberry Ripple, layered with Whisper White card stock embossed with the Polka dot folder.  Some stitched Raspberry Ripple satin ribbon was attached horizontally along the lower 1/3 of the card and a bow was adhered to the left side.
The die cut image was attached to the card base using dimensionals.
The sentiment is from "A Word for You" (I isolated the Happy Birthday) and is inked with a Raspberry Ripple marker.  After stamping on Whisper White card stock, I made it into a banner, matted it with Raspberry Ripple card stock and adhered it over the bottom of the image using dimensiionals.

Stamps: Wildflower Meadow, A Word for You
Inks: SU markers (Raspberry Ripple, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz)
Papers: Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White
Accessories: Apothecary Accents framelits, Stitched Raspberry Ripple satin ribbon, rhinestones, dimensionals, Polka dot folder

Create with Creative Elements - Unscripted Sketches #210

Happy Mother's Day!!  I hope all of you have made your telephone calls and/or received them.  My daughter called me early this morning, but she has 3 young children to wake her up.  Fortunately I was up and it was great to talk to her.  My son is spoiling me!  He made me brunch and won't even let me wash the dishes!  He's now out power cleaning the deck.  What a guy!  I'm not supposed to get out of my pjamas today - but probably will.

This card is for the sketch challenge with Unscripted Sketches here

 

The base card is Elegant Eggplant which I layered with a Honeycomb embossed piece of Whisper White card stock.

To create the focal image panel, I first stamped the flower on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock using Wisteria Wonder ink.  The flower was then cut out.  Next I stamped the butterfly using Elegant Eggplant ink, and cut it out.  The word "Create" was stamped on the lower right corner of the panel. The edges of this Whisper White panel were sponged with Wisteria Wonder ink.

The flower was attached to the left side, the butterfly on the right over top of the sentiment.  Some dazzling details was added to the flower, and some rhinestones to the center of the butterfly and on the middle of the upper edge of the panel.

I next cut a piece of Wisteria wonder card stock to mat the image panel and extend below the focal panel.  The lower end was cut freehand as indicated by the sketch.  I then embossed this piece with the Polka dot folder and distressed the edges with Wisteria Wonder ink.

Some ruffled Wisteria Wonder ribbon and a bow was attached to the lower edge, after which it was attached to the card.

The image panel was attached to the embossed Wisteria wonder piece using dimensionals.

Here's a summary of the materials used:

Stamp: Creative Elements

Inks: Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Black Stazon

Papers: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder

Accessories: Honeycomb folder, Polka dot folder, 3/8" Wisteria Wonder ruffled ribbon, rhinestones, dimensionals, Dazzling details.

Congratulations Graduate! The Friday Mashup #108

Yes, it's that time of year.  Classes are finished or finishing and plans are being made for that big event - graduation.  I think most graduates agree that "the tassle is worth the hassle" and that graduation more than make up for assignment deadlines, tests, exams, and lack of sleep.
This graduation card is for the Friday Mashup challenge here.  The challenge is to celebrate our graduates.

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project for "Graduation".
2. Create a project with "any kind of Embossing".
3. Or Mash it Up and create a project with "Embossing for Graduation".

That's quite the challenge, and I loved doing it.  Embossing is something I enjoy doing - both dry embossisng using the Big Shot, and embossing using embossing powder and an embossing tool.  For this card I used both methods.

The Pacific Point card base is layered with a Polka dot embossed layer of Whiser White card stock.  On top of that I placed a large strip of Pacific Point DSP.

The focal image is from a retired stamp set "Go Graduate".  The graduates are embossed with black embossing powder and coloured with SU markers.  A strip of scalloped basic black card stock with Daffodil Delight seam binding attached to it, is situated just above the graduates.  Above that I embossed the sentiment "Congratulations, graduate!".  This image panel is matted with black card stock and attached to the card using dimensionals.

Below the image panel I die cut a circle in Daffodil Delight and embossed it with the Square Lattice folder.  It was matted with a black scallop circle die and the unit was attached to the card below the focal image panel.  I embossed a graduate's hat, cut it out and attached it to the surface of the circle.

Here's a summary of the materials used:

Stamp: Go, Graduate
Inks: Versa Mark, SU markers
Papers: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point DSP
Accessories: Polka dot folder, Square lattice folder, Black embossing powder, Scallop border punch, 5/8" Daffodil Delight ribbon, dimensionals
