Happy Thursday Crafty Friends! It's Carly here and I'm so excited to be bringing you day 4 of the Winnie & Walter Share the Love Week featuring Essentials by Ellen! Today is the transparent challenge so I started by searching for inspiration in The Classroom archives. I found this awesome article by Julie:
I love the dreamy quality the vellum give Julie's card so I tried to create a similar effect with a stamped & embossed vellum overlay. Here's my card:
I started by die cutting a to-go cup mask with the Essentials by Ellen Designer Dies Oh Frappe set and Inkadinkado Stamping Mask paper. I applied my cup mask to a piece of Bristol cardstock and used a blending tool & Abandoned Coral Distress ink to add color.
I stamped a solid flower from the Winnie & Walter The Big The Bold and Extras in Avery Elle Strawberry ink (the perfect shade of summery red that also goes perfectly with Distress Ink Abandoned Coral).
Next I created a vellum overlay, 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 and folded in half.
I stamped the banner for the Winnie & Walter The Big The Bold and The Extras set in white and embossed. Then I created my sentiment with "have a" from Essentials by Ellen Totally Awesome set and "latte" from the Essentials by Ellen Oh Frappe set. To use just the "latte" from the "thanks a latte" set, I used a Versamark pen just on "latte", stamped it and embossed.
I placed my vellum overlay over my stamped & inked card so I would know where to stamp my flower outlines.
I added a little circle to my cup, inked with Lucky Clover Distress Ink and secured my vellum overlay with twine.
Finally I added a little message on the inside of my card.
Happy Thursday!
xo, Carly
P.S. Don't forget that Ellen is giving away another $25 store certificate day!
