Another Peaceful Place - an elegant card

This version of the Peaceful Place stamp set is so elegant looking it could be used as an anniversay or wedding card.

The picture doesn't do it justice!  Foil paper is notoriously difficult to photograph.

Using the stamparatus, I stamped the image onto a 3 by 4" piece of Whisper White card stock 

using Versa Mark ink.  The image was then gold embossed and when cool, cut into 3 equal 1 by 4" pieces.  Each piece was matted with a 1 1/8 by 4 1/8 piece of gold foil paper and adhered to the  stripped embossed Whisper White layer.  This layer was also matted with gold foil paper before being adhered to a top fold Whisper White card base.

Below the 3 panels, I added a 1/8 by 4" piece of gold foil and added a piece of  1/8" Copper edged Very Vanilla ribbon tied into a knot, under the middle panel.

I did not add a sentiment to this card.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Peaceful Place
Ink:  Versa Mark
Papers:  Whisper White, gold foil
Accessories:  Simple Stripe embossing folder, gold embossing powder,  1/8" copper edged Very Vanilla ribbon

Apron of Love - a CASE - SUO Challenge # 194

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

I CASE'd this card from page 47 of the Occasions Catalogue for the challenge with SUO here

The challenge was to make a card featured on one of 3 Stampin' Up catalogues currently available .  My card is not an exact copy but it provided the inspiration for the card I made.

The Apron of Love stamp set is a very versatile stamp set, and for this card I chose to make a masculine card with tools in his pocket because he was barbecuing for Valentine's Day. The inspiration for this card was featured on page 47 of the Occasions Catalogue.

The base card is a top fold Dapper Denim card layered with Whisper White embossed with the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder.

On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, the image of the oven mitt was stamped randomly using Dapper Denim ink.  A 1 1/4" piece of this DSP was layered with Silver Foil,wrapped 4 times with Old Olive Baker's twine and then added to the left side of the card.

The apron was die cut with Dapper Denim, and the pocket in Old Olive card stock  A Calypso Coral banner stamped with the sentiment, notched at the bottom end, was added to the top of the pocket.

The BBQ tools were die cut with silver foil and added to the pocket of the apron.  Old Olive was also used to die cut the neck of the apron.

The completed apron was added to a piece of  crumb cake card stock, the edge of which was sponged with Soft Suede ink.  This was added to the card front at an angle.
