Back again and yes I know this is the 2nd post in one day but I want to get this card posted before Friday. Hopefully you all don't mind the extra post.
I'm joining in on the Paper Players Challenge #546 - Fruit and Berries.I've wanted to use up some of the gorgeous designer paper from Stampin'Up! that they had as part of the Celebration catalog this year.
So here is what I created for this challenge.
Stamps: Berry Blessings (SU) - Which sadly did not make the current catalog nor did the super cool paper, Berry Delightful.
For this card I stamped the berry with Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss inks on watercolor card stock (Tim Holtz)
I used a water brush to give the berry a water color look. I stamped the stem and leaves the same way using Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green ink and then fussy cut them out.
Next I stamped just the outline of the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink stamping it off once and then onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. I cut that out with a circle die and layered onto another circle die of Whisper White. The berry was mounted with foam tape.
I did a small piece of rick-rack using a punch (Ek Success) and layered it over the piece of designer paper which was then mounted on a piece of Whisper White card stock and layered to the card base.
Finally I highlighted the berry with a hint of clear glitter to give it a bit of sparkle.
Have a great day & thanks for stopping by.
I was sad this set didn't get in the catalog either!! But we can still use it and you've made it shine with that yummy paper and cool rickrack! Bright and fruity for sure! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Players this week!
