Stampin' Up! - Color Coach Challenge #130 - Layered Letters Alphabet

Basic Black #3

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

You are not going to believe this but this is my FINAL Color Coach Challenge card...yes....I have actually blogged my way through the Color Coach and finished!!!

So what better card to celebrate that this YAY card! :)

(except I've just realised that I forgot to add an apostrophe with a white gel pen to the IT'S) Ack! I shall write it in now. 

The Color Coach combination is Basic Black and Basic Gray. I was inspired by this sketch at Freshly Made Sketches  I loved that the large Layered Letters Alphabet greeting could take centre stage.

I white heat embossed the Alphabet Rotary Stamp greeting onto Basic Gray card stock and snipped them into banners. I did the very trendy thing of coiled metallic thread and staplers as embellishments.

I also made an envelope with the Envelope Punch Board out of black paper. When it comes time to address it, I will use a chalk pen as it gives a wonderful chalkboard effect on a black envelope. 

I hope you like my card. If you have been inspired by it and would like to support my creative business, all the supplies may be found by clicking through the links below which will take you to my store.

Stampin' Up! Australia - Bokeh Card and the Alphabet Rotary Stamp

Hi

I made this card for the TGIF Challenge - watercolour + a sketch....I took a bit of artistic licence with the sketch and skewed it a bit.

I did something different and made a collage card....a piece of watercolour bokeh, some All Abloom Designer Series Paper, a metallic doily, some sequins, and a piece of glittery foam from a craft project.

I put them all together on some Kraft card stock and added a Naturals Expressions Wooden embellishment. :)

I recently watched a beautiful documentary called Making Mail which showcases a truly incredible art. It has inspired me to start making some more of my own mail art to accompany my handmade cards.

This card is going out as a surprise to a fellow blogger. I hope she likes it. :)

I made my own envelope from Kraft card stock with the Envelope Punch Board, did some bokeh technique on it, and then stamped the address (blotched out here for privacy) with the Alphabet Rotary Stamp. :)

I also stamped a fun message inside with the Alphabet Rotary stamp.....I didn't worry too much about the boo-boo...I just stamped it again. :)

Here is the challenge theme and the sketch...

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Flower Patch

Hi

Welcome to another Artful Stampers blog hop!

With the influx of any new catalogue comes the neglect of stamps on the shelf...so I pulled out trusty Flower Patch for this card.

I used the sketch from CASE This Sketch as a guide, but I couldn't get the sentiment to work on its side, so I flipped them horizontally. I used the Alphabet Rotary Stamp for the sentiment - a fun vintage typography look.

I had a heap of fun stamping my envelope too....you should stamp your envelopes if you don't already...it's another blank canvas waiting to be adorned! :)

Here are our colours for the challenge...
