Heather is the hostess for today’s Timeless Tuesday challenge. She wants us to be inspired by this photo:
I picked the stairs and the gorgeous yellow/orange colors along with color of the steps. I had never created a Center Step card before and tought this would be a great time to try it out.
I created the card base out of a 5 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Kraft Cardstock. I cut and scored it just as Frances showed us in this tutorial. I cut Neenah White cardstock to make slightly smaller layers for the center and side panels and topped those with My Mind’s Eye Lost & Found Two Sunshine patterned paper.
A 6 1/2″ wide strip of white cardstock was cut and embossed with Edgeabilities dies (Triple Scallop and Classic Petal). The strip was then sponged with Wild Honey Distress ink. The big flower head from Sweet Nature was stamped over in the same color. The strip was adhered to the lower part of the card.
For the center piece I cut a Kraft cardstock, more Sunshine paper as well as a piece of white cardstock with Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents dies. The largest frame was sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink. The Sunshine paper was sanded before it was adhered to the Kraftstock panel.
The white panel was sponged with Wild Honey Distress ink. A sentiment from Sweet Nature was stamped in the tags center with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The big flower head stamp was used again to add some texture to the sponged part of the tag. The tag was adhered to the card other layers with dimensionals.
To finish the card off two flourishes from the same die pack out of white cardstock. Again Wild Honey was used to sponge the cardstock. The flourishes were adhered to the thin side panel.
This card also works for today’s HYCCT challenge on SCS. That’s why there is no ribbon, rhinestones or pearls on it.
