A Challenge Card with an Old Friend

June 28, 2009 by Robin

Aloha, all!

One of my very favorite stamp sets, and one that’s been around a long time, is Voila!  I’ve used it inumerable times to decorate bottles of wine to give as hostess gifts, and I just love using Designer Series Paper to make something other than a white cloak for the cook in the set.

Today I used two stamps from the set for a Challenge Card.  The Challenge Sketch was posted on the blog, Stamping 411. 

My take on the sketch uses one of the new 2009-2010 In Colors, Rich Razzleberry, along with standard colors, Garden Green, Apricot Appeal, and Whisper White.  I used the Scallop Edge Punch for the strip of Garden Green behind the Rich Razzleberry, and the Scallop Circle Punch for the piece behind the stamped image.  Finally, I added a strip of the Rich Razzleberry 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, which comes in all of the 2009-2010 In Colors.  I think that the polka dots are a nice accent for the Whisper White card stock on which the image is stamped.  On the Apricot Appeal card base, I stamped one of the images from the Itty Bitty Backgrounds set in VersaMark.

I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color in the stamped image:  Rich Razzleberry, Garden Green, Apricot Appeal, and just a teensy bit of Real Red to make the Italian style bistro table cloth.  There’s also just a touch of Creamy Caramel and Sahara Sand for the final accents.

Mmmm.  I may have to go have some wine and cheese!! 

And nothing in this card is retiring this year!  If you’d like anything that’s a part of this card, you can order online any time, or just call (808.854.6145) or e-mail me, and I’ll help you place an order.

Bon Appetit!!

I have been stamping and paper crafting for over 30 years, and have been an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 14 years.

My favorite part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is teaching others to enjoy crafting themselves. Not only do I conduct classes in person, I write tutorials for teaching anyone who has internet access. No matter if you're in my area in The Villages in Florida or anywhere else in the world, let me know if there's something you'd like to learn! Read More…
