I was selected by Stampin' Up! to make 20 card samples in total using the new colours for the demonstrator only OnStage event held in Sydney on 16 April and my brief was to highlight the new colour. Below are the four Dapper Denim coloured cards that I created for #OnStage2016.
Colour #3 Dapper Denim
This card features Dapper Denim card stock, 2016-18 In-Color DSP stack and classic ink along with the Party Popup thinlets. I used the inlaid diecut technique for the 'Hip Hip Hooray' focal piece. This required diecutting the Hip Hip Hooray thinlet twice, once in Dapper Denim and again in Calypso Coral. I adhered the Dapper Denim diecut onto the card base then inlaid the words and confetti using the Calypso Coral pieces into the diecut. I stamped the balloons from the Balloon Celebration stamp set and punched them out using the Balloon Bouquet punch and adhered them to the card. Some strands of thick Calypso Coral twine were added to the balloons too.
This card is for a special man in my life and features Dapper Denim card stock, 2016-18 In-Color DSP stack and classic ink along with the Guys Greetings and Crazy About You stamp sets. I stamped the anchors on the vertical banner in Smoky Slate. I then layered circles over the banner and interlocked the horizontal banner into the circle. Some linen thread wrapped around both banners and the top of the anchor gives the card a rustic touch. I've long admired Becca Feekan's cards and she has over the years created some cards using interlocking circles and this is what inspired me to adapt that concept and create the interlocking circle and banner. You could adapt this card's design to any occasion.
