Live Out Loud

Here's my card for today's SCS featured stamper challenge. I was inspired by this clean and simple card.

My card uses an image that's similar to the one in the original card from the Clear & Simple Stamps Life Life set. I stamped the image in white pigment ink on a brown panel and instead of embossing, I dusted on some pearly chalks for a shimmery look. So pretty IRL! I re-used a used dryer sheet to wipe away the excess chalks--good thing my washer and dryer are so close to my craft room--LOL!

Instead of placing pearls along the bottom of the panel, I added a trio along the left side of the image panel. The panel is matted on coordinating cardstock and attached to the cardfront with foam tape.

I replaced the white card base in the original version with a Sahara Sand one that's an almost perfect match for the color of the chalk I used. The set's "live out loud" sentiment is stamped in matching brown ink beneath the image panel.

Materials Used:

Live Life stamp set (Clear & Simple Stamps); Fresh Snow and Dark Chocolate inks (Papertrey Ink); Chocolate Chip and Sahara Sand cardstock (Stampin' Up!); shimmer chalks (Pebbles inc.); self-adhesive pearls (KaiserCraft)
