Stampin Up Touches of Texture

Hi Stampers, today I’m playing with my #1 pick from the catalog; Stampin Up Touches of Texture.  Why is it my #1 pick?  First of all it’s artistic, also, it has a great selection of elements, therefore I have many choices in my card creating and here are just two for you today.

Today’s layout is for our Weekly Happy Stampers challenge:

 

This week it’s a sketch:  I love sketches they give you such a great starting point for your projects.

Sandi’s Tips & Tricks:

• So I started by stamping the flower on the right side of the art piece
• then I added some Delightful Dijon splatter,
• Then I stamped the bee and coloured him a bit with Delightful Dijon as well.
• For my torn piece across the top, I stamped it with the long design stamp first, tore the edge and rolled it back a bit before attaching it to the art piece.
• Next I used my Banners Framelits to die cut some of the Moroccan Designer Paper to add a bit of colour to the top
• Once the card was all put together, I added some Linen Thread for some texture.
• The sentiment is White Heat Embossed onto a scrap of Basic Black and is from the Helping me Grow stamp set.  I tucked a scrap of the designer paper under it to help balance out the colour in the card.
• Finally I embellished with a few gold sequins just to add some light…

Here is a stepped down version of the card. basically the same, without the banner designer paper and I used the dragonfly this time.  I LOVE dragonflies and this one I coloured, cut out and glued to the card.

One other thing I did with this card, the flower is a two – step stamping process.  You have an outline and then a separate stamp to add the colour, before I stamped the second one; I used a baby wipe to take the colour out of the center so that I could add some Dijon into it.  I like that little addition – what do you think?
Now it’s time to go and see what the rest of the Happy Stampers Designers have come up with for this week’s challenge.
