It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This month our challenges will be to “case the catalog”. Each week we have a new card design to inspire us taken right from the catalog…we could use the colors, the layout, or the stamp set and dies. I’ve chosen the layout for today’s card!
I love the realistic look to the apples in the Apple Harvest stamp set and thought it would be perfect for this layout! I did alter where the greeting label was placed just slightly.
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 3 x 4-1/4 piece of Parakeet Party In Color Designer Paper was added to a 3-1/8 x 4-3/8 piece of Early Espresso cardstock, then adhered to the front.
- The large, long label from Stylish Shapes Dies was cut from Sweet Sorbet cardstock and added across the center.
- The apple branch was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock, then colored with Dark Mint Macaron and Parakeet Party Combo Blends for the leaves. The apples were colored with Dark Calypso Coral and Sweet Sorbet Combo Blends. The stems were colored with SU100 and SU400 Neutrals. It was hand-cut and added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Early Espresso Ink and cut with the long skinny label from Stylish Shapes, then adhered off to the left of the card so more of the apples showed.
- A trio of Red Rhinestones were added to the background for a little bling!
