I hope you have had a fun Friday and planning a fun weekend.  Seems I was just saying that. Has it been that long between posts?

 

I am using the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Stamp Set to create the card I am sharing today.  This is a wonderful stamp set but it will be retiring in a few days so I want to use it before it retires.

This is a new challenge for me.  I think this is the first time I have seen it but I always love Tic Tac Toe Challenges and so happy I found the Creative Knockout Challenge.

The design for this challenge comes from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

I started with a Basic White card stock base, adding a panel of the same embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder, retiring May 4, but this is one embossing folder I will continue to use.  It is the best, in my opinion, embossing folder Stampin’ Up! has ever offered.  It may retire, but I will be using it for years to come.  This embossed panel is matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.

A circle of Basic White card stock is cropped using the next to largest die from the Stitched Layering Dies.  A flower garland from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set is stamped at the top of the circle in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  This garland is colored using Dark & Light Rococo Rose and Dark & Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers.

A greeting from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set is stamped inside the cropped circle using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  A circle is cropped  using a die from the Layering Circle Dies and used to mat the art piece circle.

A garland from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set is stamped at the top and bottom of the Basic White sentiment panel, colored with the same Markers as the art piece for the card front.

The Basic White medium envelope gets a garland of the flowers stamped on the envelope flap.

f you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!
