So
excited that Jen and I had time for anther “Card Off Challenge”.
The
card I had created was featured in my “Create With Kathe” Class week.
So
as I taught my Class, Jen tweaked the card, but still used the same base of Stampin’
Up! products.
I
always love to see the outcome of Jen’s tweaking, as she is a master of colour!
As
you can see from the two cards, the original was Portrait, and Jen’s switched hers
up to Landscape
The
stamp sets featured are “Birthday Blooms” and “Timeless Elegance”, these two are
my absolute favourites from the new
Occasions Catalogue.
The
pretty flower on the original card was is soft tones of Pink Pirouette,
Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Mint Macaroon and Pear Pizzazz.
Jen’s
flower was in deepening colours, perhaps with a touch of Rich Razzleberry, and she
coloured the background of the flower, by adding a wash of Tempting Turquoise.
Both
cards have faux stitching, created using the “Updated Essentials” Paper
Piercing Pack, and the Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker.
If
you look super close at the “Sahara Sand” layer, you will also find heaps of
stamping using the “Timeless Textures” stamp set and Soft Suede and Early
Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pads.
Jen’s
card was framed in Blackberry Bliss and a cute sparkly embellishment added to
the top right-hand corner, and some gorgeous pleated ruffled ribbon {Venetian
Crochet Trim and Seam Binding}.
I
always love a touch of shabby chic, so in my card I added a Doily, fabric rose,
ruffled ribbon {Venetian Crochet Trim and Seam Binding}, and a beautiful Brad,
from the “Antique Brads” collection.
At
the end of the day {or night as it had become}, it was a draw!!!
