Avery Elle April Guest Designer Search + Card Concept #3 + CASology: Bold

I love when a few different challenges help pull a card together. This card started as a submission for the Avery Elle April Guest Designer Search and, based on the dies and stamps I wanted to work with,  is also perfect for incorporating the elements of The Card Concept #3: Use Monochromatic Pink and CASology Week 82: Bold challenges.




I cut three rectangles with the Avery Elle Pinked Dies from white cardstock and used a Fill in the Blank stamp to heat emboss on two of them. These panels were then inked with Picked Rasberry Distress Ink. The third panel is inked with Spun Sugar Distress Ink and the pinked circle and heart die cut layered on top.




A sheer ribbon is wrapped around the flags and they are all adhered to the card base with foam squares.

The heart was a little flat, so clear Wink of Stella is brushed on - now it has a similar finish to the embossed letters.








I always have a little trouble determing which category I fit in with the Card Concept challenge - Clean & Simple or Clean & Graphic? What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

    I love the three panels Jacquie, your treatment of them is so eye catching. I have never heard of a 'fill in the blank' stamp, what a great idea! Thank you so much for joining us at The Card Concept.
