Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly - Kraft Card


During a recent Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp, I challenge everyone to make a card inspired by a picture of a Mince Tart.  I had no idea what cards everyone would create.  It was so much fun to see how everyone was inspired by the picture in different ways.  Have you ever looked at a picture or saw something when you were out and about that you have used as an inspiration for? 

First, here's the picture that I used as the challenge.  What would you have created?

Now, here' my card.  I used the colours and the layout as my inspiration.  What do you think?

It was fun to create a card using Kraft Paper.  I don't use it much.  Definitely a bit of a vintage feel to this card with the sponging and the colours.

Instructions

  1. Cut Early Espresso Cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".  Fold and burnish on scoreline with Bone Folder to form card base
  2. Cut Cherry Cobbler cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  3. Adhere to card base
  4. Cut Kraft Paper 3 3/4" x 5"
  5. Stamp sentiment on left side using Early Espresso ink
  6. Sponge edges using Early Espresso Ink
  7. Splatter using Stampin' Blend
  8. Adhere to card base
  9. Cut largest Stylish Shapes Circle from Kraft Paper
  10. Sponge edge using Early Espresso Ink
  11. Cut 2 leaves from Garden Green cardstock using Die
  12. Cut Berries from Cherry Cobbler cardstock using Die
  13. Adhere Leaves and dies to circle
  14. Wrap Linen Thread around palm of hand 4-5 times.  Pinch in middle and adhere to card base
  15. Adhere circle over Linen Thread with Dimensionals.
  16. Adhere Rhinestones
