Try it on Tuesday #33 - Forever Young

The other day I ran across this Blog - Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  They have some great sketches, so if you like sketches, than you should add this blog to your blog list.  I used this week's sketch #33 (below) and decided to use it to create the card above. 

I wanted to break out the Forever Young Stamp Set from the Idea Book & Catalog.  I just love the image of that big tree with the girl on the swing.  The color combo is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight.

I first cut out a Naturals White 3-1/2" circle with the Originals Die.  I lightly sponged the circle with the color combos (starting on the bottom) of Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze and Night of Navy (sponge in a lightly circular pattern).  I finished the circle by light sponging the edge with the Soft Suede Ink.  Using my Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler Marker, I color the image of the stamp.  After stamping the image, I realized the image was not a dark as I wanted it.  So I used my markers to color in the image some more.  After the I happy with the results, I spritzer the circle with the Frost White Homemade Shimmer Mist.   

Next I worked on the Cherry Cobbler card base.  I inked up my Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate with Early Espresso Craft ink (I just inked an area the size of my card piece).  Next, I ran my piece of Cherry Cobbler - 4" x 5-1/4" through the big shot with the inked letter press.  I attached this piece to my Card Base.  My 2" x 4-1/2" piece of Early Espresso was ran through the big shot with the Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder.  I used my Lace Ribbon Border Punch to a punch a border of Daffodil Delight.  I wove my Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon through the lace border and attached a bow with an Antique Brad.  

Hope you like the card and I hae inspired you to get stamping.  :o)  Leave a comment and let me know what you think. 

Next week I am going to try to do a week worth of Halloween Cards & Projects, so make sure you come back. 

Thanks for stopping by,
