Craft Roulette Challenge #162 - Matchbook Card

Another late night!  I finished my Fabric video earlier, ate dinner, and then had to get this card finished for Craft Roulette so I could post it in time.  Whew!

Find Craft Roulette on YouTube @CraftRoulette and play along when you can!   I have enjoyed being a Patron.  We get an extra few days to submit our cards for the week, plus a few extra videos each week, and sometimes some digital artwork from Mary Gunn herself.  It's great!  So back to this week's card..

Episode #162 parameters, and how I met them:
  • Project:  Matchbook card
  • Colors:  Flowering Fields.  I took mine right from my designer papers - Purples and beige
  • Element: Bird
  • Random: Wood grain - it's on the branch

Paper Measurements:
  • Highland Heather:  4 1/4" x 11".  I actually scored  it at 1", folded that up and stapled twice.  Then fold the rest of the card in, so it tucks under the flap.  Matchbook.  Tada!
  • Highland Heather:  4" x 4"
  • Hand-Penned Designer Series paper:  3 7/8" x 3 7/8"
  • Basic White:  scrap to stamp/punch/cut out bird, branch and greeting
  • Highland Heather:  scrap to punch out scalloped oval layer
I also attempted a quick "no line coloring" technique on the bird.  Stamped in Crumb Cake, then colored in with Stampin' Blends markers.  I then colored over the bird body and wings with Clear Wink of Stella.

Stamp the branch in Early Espresso, then color all over with a Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend marker.

Hand-cut the bird and branch.    Greeting is stamped in the NEW Pecan Pie color, which I LOVE.   

Finish off with some Opaque Gems, which I just now found out - they are retired.  :(

Stamps:  Perched in a Tree, Botanical Layers
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Pecan Pie
Paper: Highland Heather, Basic White, Penned Petals designer series papers
Other:  Double Oval punch, Opaque Gems, Clear Wink of Stella marker

We'll see what tomorrow night brings us, as far as interesting parameters and a new Guest stamper!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
