Stay Golden

September 13, 2016

As my daughter commented when she saw this card, “Mom, you finally came out of your flowerbox!”  I did have to sneak a few of them in tho!!  This month our fantastic sponsor is:

and our challenge theme is:

And I am delighted to be designing with Julie Ebersole’s new release stamps, Stay Golden.

My pineapple was stamped repeatedly with Versamark on a scrap of dark yellow cs and gold embossed until there was a nice thick layer.  The top (or crown) was stamped on a scrap of green with Versamark and clear embossed – again until there was a thick layer.  I did the same with the little flowers leaves and sentiment except they were stamped with regular ink.  Even tho there are matching dies for these stamps, I fussy cut them because I didn’t want the white edges.  The base of the card is white with the striped washi tape from Target and the grey stripe from Michaels.  Added a couple of sequins for added texture and done!  All the repeated stamping was done with my MISTI.

This month you can win a prize from Ellen Hutson with your entry in our “Texture” challenge – so many ways to add texture – layering, dry and heat embossing, texture paste, embellishments, fabric, velveteen stamping – just to name a few.  Our ABNH designers will have ideas for you all month long also.  So join in here.

    Your pineapple is amazing, Betty! I love all the texture that you created with embossing, and how you added a few blooms to this card…perfectly placed, too 🙂
