Tropical Sunset

Tropical Sunset

This is my card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Freshly Made Sketches

This card was designed by my daughter Sara. When she saw the sketch challenge she envisioned this card! She wanted a sunset peeking out from the window with lots of bright colours behind a Basic Black foreground.

The card base is Magenta Madness 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2".

The Basic Black panel is 4" x 51/4" with a 2" circle "window" punched out near the top. 

On a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of Whisper White Card Stock, sponge the sunset background. Sara used: Bumble Bee, Terra Cotta Tile, Magenta Madness, Rich Razzleberry and Misty Moonlight. She then stamped the sun from the June Paper Pumpkin Kit using Pumpkin Pie Ink. Attach the sunset art piece to the card base (watch placement of the sunset so it shows through the window) and then attach the Basic Black C/S layer using Dimensionals around the perimeter and around the window. 

Die cut a Palm Tree using Basic Black C/S. Die cut 5 small flowers and the word "Aloha" using the Rainbow Glimmer Paper. Sponge some Champagne Shimmer Paint onto the edges of the trees.

The Palm Tree is attached using Dimensionals. The flowers and Aloha are attached using Multi-purpose Glue. 

I love her choice of colours!! The colours POP on this card! Awesome card Sara!! Thanks for your creativity and assistance!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Arlene and Sara!

Our Friendship Is Timeless

This is such an important message right now! All of my family and friends are so important to me. I worry about everyone, I want to go back to "normal", I want everyone to be well. Stay safe, stay well, and stamp your worries away!!!!

I designed this card for the weekly sketch challenge at Freshly made Sketches.
Check out their Blog: https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

Having challenges to do and designing card kits to mail out and creating tutorials is not only keeping me busy, but very good for my well being.

If you live in Canada and would like to place an order and receive a card kit with tutorial contact me! I would love to be your Demonstrator!! 

It's amazing how striking a black and white card is!! 

This card came together very quickly. The card base is Whisper White with a Basic Black layer. The top layer is Whisper White, embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder, it is a stunning embossing folder!! I stamped the palm trees in Memento Black Ink (make sure your ink pad is very well re-inked) and immediately sprinkled on Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. As an alternative you could use Black Embossing Powder. The sentiment is stamped in VersaMark on a strip of Basic Black Card Stock and embossed with White Embossing Powder. The trees are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals and I added some Rhinestones to finish it off. 

Stay safe everyone,
Hugs,
Arlene
