CCMC 223 Sketch

Good morning! It’s Thursday and we know what that means… tomorrow is Friday! I’m feeling a little better than I have, hopefully that means I’m nearing the end of the cold. I have a meeting out east tonight and a busy weekend ahead of me. I hope that the cold is almost over!

Today’s post is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week the lovely ladies have given us this sketch…

I decided that I wanted to try something a little different. In the latest issue of the Demonstrator magazine, Stampin’ Success, they stamped on a Window Sheet with White Staz-On so I decided I would give that a try with a little twist. The base of my card is Naturals White Card Stock. I cut a smaller piece of the same card stock and used some Twitterpated Designer Series Paper for the diagonal strip and some Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon across the top of that. The greeting is stamped in Midnight Muse and is from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set. A Vintage Faceted Designer Button with a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper in the center completes that layer. The window that I created to the left is Midnight Muse. The base layer is stamped with the Illuminate Glimmer Pad using the Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set. I stamped images from the same set in White Staz-On on a piece of Window Sheet and cut out a frame of Midnight Muse to go over the top. I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the framed piece. I love the way the snowflakes look stamped in the Illuminate Glimmer and White Staz-On layered on top of one another. You can see the effect a little better in the second picture. I hope that you enjoyed my Guest Designer card for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge.

  2. this is such a pretty card – i have the illuminate pad but haven’t used it yet. (I know…bad of me) I hope your cold is better – i have the same thing right now…just want it gone. Feel better.

    1. Thank you very much MaryJo! I haven’t used it as much because I find it takes a long time to dry. When you use yours, let me know how it goes. My cold is getting better, I hope that yours is too. Have a great day!

  3. This is such a cool technique!! Love the stamped window sheet! Such depth and dimension! The button is the perfect accent!

  4. I’ve got a bad cold too, Jason – 11 days and I’m SO sick of it! Anyway, how did you cut out your frame? I’m exacto-knife challenged…. LOVE your card and your blog is so inspirational!!

    1. Thanks Susan! I guess it’s cold season. ;-(

      I used my Paper Trimmer to cut out the frame, I’ll a little exacto knife challenged too. So glad you enjoy my posts. Have a great day. šŸ˜‰

  8. Wow Justin, what a great card! I absolutely love the effect you’ve created with the window sheets! Maybe I’ll be brave enough and give it a try!
