Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge #262. Pamela, our host for this bi-weekly challenge, chose Coloring for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Here’s my Coneflower Celebration colored card:
As always with a fun fold card, I will be adding this to the Creative Creases Challenge where the theme is always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold.
Short & Sweet:
“I’m late. I’m late, for a very important date” (I forgot today is C4Galz). “No time to say hello, good-bye. I’m late, I’m late, I’m late. “
The Cheshire Cat
- The Pecan Pie base measures 4-1/4 by 11 inches, scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2 inches
- I used Petunia Pop for the cardstock mat, and it measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- The Country Woods DSP measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the inside
- Another piece of the Country Woods DSP was trimmed to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- I punched a 1-inch circle from a scrap piece of Petunia Pop 6 x 6 inch DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- I stamped all the Coneflower Celebration flower parts in Tuxedo Black ink
- Then, I colored the flower part with light and dark Bubble Bath blends
- I added layers of Dark Flirty Flamingo around the center part of the flower and to outline the petals
- The stem and leaves were colored using Mossy Meadow & Old Olive light and dark blends
- The sentiment was stamped in Pecan Pie ink and then cropped with a banner die from Stylish Shapes
- I stamped the inside sentiment using Petunia Pop ink
- I added some foam adhesive to the back of a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and cropped it with a banner die to use as the stopper
- The Petunia Pop loopy loop bow is adhered to the DSP using glue dots
- Then, I added dimensionals to the back of the flower, stem, leaves, and sentiment banner pieces and adhered them to the DSP
- The rest of the parts of the card were adhered using multipurpose liquid glue
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
