Happy Sunday! It’s time for another CYCI color challenge:
Here’s what I came up with. The gold looks a bit dull in this photo…
…so here it is with the light reflecting off the gold embossing.
I’m so excited to get to use one of the brand new stamp sets from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. It’s called Moroccan Nights. It will be available in clear mount (#141718, $18) and in wood mount (#141715, $25) on June 1, when the new catalog goes live.
I think this medallion stamp is spectacular. I used the entire image in the center, then just a bit of it on each corner.
I cut Whisper White card stock to three sizes: 4″ x 5-1/4″, 3″ x 4-1/4″, and 2″ x 3-1/4″. I stacked them up, centering one on top of the other, and attaching them together with just a bit of Snail adhesive. I dusted them with my Embossing Buddy, stamped the image in Versamark ink, covered it in gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and melted the powder with my Heat Tool.
I pulled the card stock pieces apart, being careful not to tear them – that’s why I used Snail instead of something like Fast Fuse. I matted the two smaller pieces with Night of Navy card stock, used Stampin’ Dimensionals between the layers, and glued the whole thing to a Night of Navy card base.
I didn’t want to break up this gorgeous design, so I decided the sentiment should go on the inside. What I haven’t yet decided is who will receive this card, so I’ll select the sentiment when the time comes.
The new catalog will also have products to coordinate with the Moroccan Nights stamp set, including Moroccan Designer Series Paper and Moroccan Designer Washi Tape! I can’t wait!!!
Here are the current items I used:
