I created this card a while ago for a publication. It wasn’t picked, so I get to talk about it here. 🙂
The image is from JustRite Stampers retired Quiet Moments stamp set. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was cut with one of the Square Nestabilities die and the Out of the Box technique and colored with Copic Markers ( Blossoms: R20, R21, R22, R24 Leaves: G21, G24, G28 Branches: E25, E27, E29 Mom’s Hair: E08, E97, E19, E18 Moms’ Dress: B21, B23, B24, Mom’s skin: E00, E01, E11 Girl skin: E000, E01, E02 girl Hair: E97, E99 Girl Dress: Y32, Y35, Y38, E97, YG01, YG03, YG25, YG17 Moon: BV000, BV00, BV01, 1/5th YR31, YR31).
The edges were airbrushed with Copic Marker BV00 before it was layered to a piece of Brown cardstock, cut and embossed with the next size Square Nestabilities dies. Both layers were adhered to a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with a Lacy Square Nestabilities die.
A 2 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Webster’s Pages petite paper was aadhered ot a 4 3/4″ square from the same paper pack. The layers were stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of white cardstock.
White Melissa Frances ribbon was adhered above the horizontal layer before everything was adhered to the card base, a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Brown cardstock, folded in half. The image was adhered on the card front with dimensionals.
A sentiment from the same set was stamped on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with the retired 5 Tag die. The center of the tag was airbrushed with Copic Marker BV00. The tag was tied underneath a ribbon bow and adhered to the left hand side of the image. Lippy Red Kaisercraft Rhinestones finish off the card.
Since the set is retired, I will be giving it away in this blog post. To win the set, just add your url to the Mr. Linky underneath. If you don’t have a blog address, but are a member of Splitcoast, just use your gallery address. This works even if you don’t have anything in your gallery. Your gallery address is (https://splitcoaststampers.com/go/username). I won’t be drawing a winner until we are settled in our new house. That might take until the 10th of July.
Thanks so much for stopping by! We are in the middle of cleaning our house. Friday is inspection and Saturday we drive to Illinois. Have a wonderful day!
Hugs and smiles
