This card is for the challenge over at JUGS I wasn’t too sure of the stamp set I wanted to use, but knew I wanted to used the DSP – Lap of Luxury. I have ony cut into this paper & it is just stunning!

For my card –
Cut base card using Concord Crush Cardstock, score in half
Cut smaller piece of Basic Gray Cardstock & adhere to base card
Cut smaller piece of DSP – Lap of Luxury & adhere to Basic Gray Cardstock
Cut piece of Cardstock in Concord Crush – 2.5″ x 4″
Cut piece of DSP – Lap of Luxury – 2 3/8″ x 3 7/8″
Adhere DSP to top of Concord Crush
Cut piece of Basic Gray Cardstock – 4″ x .75″ & adhere to top of DSP

Cut piece of Concord Crush Cardstock – 4 5/8″ x 2 1/8″

Cut piece of DSP – 4 1/2″ x 2″

Using Shimmer Paint – Frost White, randomly spread over DSP & let dry

Ink image with Versamark & then with Concord Crush ink, stamp image directly over top of DSP
Apply Clear Embossing Powder & using Heat Tool, heat stamped image

TIP – This will not give you a raised image, but will allow parts of the Shimmer Paint to come through onto your image

Adhere DSP to top of Concord Crush Cardstock & apply to card

TIP – I sometimes leave the sentiment until such time as I am looking for a particular card, then I will include a sentiment. It allows you to be more flexible with your cards, while at the same time not having to make another card

Stamp Set – Inspired by Nature

Ink – Concord Crush, Versamark

Cardstock – Basic Gray, Concord Crush

DSP– Lap of Luxury

Ribbon – 1/2″ Stitched- Poly – Concord Crush
