Triple Challenge Thank You
I made this simple, elegant card for three different challenges: this week's SCS clean and simple challenge (sketch), this week's Curtain Call Color Challenge (Kraft, Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi), and the Moxie Fab Card Style challenge to make a classy and elegant card. The floral silhouette image from the Kind Deeds set from Clear and Simple Stamps made combining these three challenges so easy! This card took 20 minutes from start to finish (partly due to some interruptions from Chloe the cutie puppy, still wrapped up in her big, protective cone . . .).
Since I didn't have any Wild Wasabi ink or paper, I had to do just a little substituting. I stamped the floral silhouette image in CSS's Kraft Like a Rockstar Green on a panel of some retired SU! designer paper. The set's "thank you" sentiment is stamped alongside the image in SU!'s Soft Suede ink, stamped off once to get a softer, more kraft-like look. The stamped panel was attached to a kraft card base.
For an accent, I pulled a single thread from a piece of white taffeta ribbon, gathering up the length as I pulled for a ruffled look. The ruffled piece is attached to the bottom of the cardfront and accented with a button tied with a twine bow.
Materials Used:
Kind Deeds stamp set, Kraft Like a Rockstar Green ink, Kraft Like a Rockstar cardstock, Dish All the Dirt Brown button (Clear and Simple Stamps); Soft Suede Classic ink, Spring Fling designer series paper, white taffeta ribbon (Stampin' Up!); twine (Papertrey Ink)
