I had last week’s MFT Sketch laying on my desk since it was posted. I knew I wanted to make a card for it today! So when I saw the Technique Challenge on SCS I combined them along with MFT’s Guest Designer Challenge for February.
I started out stamping Jolinne (My Heart Sings) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. I cut it out with Circle Nestabilities and the Out of the Box technique and colored it with Copic Markers (Hair: E99, E39, E18, Skin: E0000, E00, E01, Pants: B91, B93, B95, Shirt: R81, R83, R85, Shoes: N0, N1, Ipod: N1, N3, N5, Board: E31, E33, E37, Coat: R27, R29, R39). The background was airbrushed with Copic Marker B91.
I piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock was cut and embossed with Scallop Circle Nestabilities. The edges were colored with Copic Marker R39 to make it darker and match the image. The image was adhered to the scallop circle and the edges were paper pierced. The layers were then adhered to a piece of Early Espresso cardstock that had been cut with the Dainty Lace Doily Dienamics die.
Today’s technique challenge is all about embossing. We are supposed to emboss a piece of paper first with an embossing folder, then heat emboss the raised image. I chose a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of October Afternoon Homemaker paper and embossed it with ProvoCraft’s Allegro Embossing Folder. Next I brayered over the raised images with Vintage Photo Distress ink and embossed those with Irisdescent Ice Embossing powder (Stampin’ Up!).
The bottom two corners were rounded with the W R Memory Keepers Cropadile Corner Chomper before it was stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Early Espresso cardstock. Burgundy May Arts Organdy Ribbon was tied vertically around the layers. A Making Memory Brad was colored with Copic Marker E49 and attached over the ribbon.
Neenah Solar White cardstock was cut and embossed with a Tag die by Spellbinders. The sentiment from My Heart Sing was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink over the tag. It was airbrushed with Copic Marker R83 and attached to the bow with Silver Curling Ribbon.
To finish off the card I added Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones on the bottom corners and the sentiment tag.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
