Color Inspired Slimline Card

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Welcome also to our first challenge of the year at Incy Wincy Designs. We have cut back to a monthly challenge to give our friends more time to participate. We are also continuing the two themes monthly challenge. You can choose one theme or use both themes on your project.

For my card, I created a mostly pink and red slimline card using an image from Alex Syberia Design, one of our two sponsors for the challenge. The other theme for the challenge is Valentines. My card can also be a Valentine's card.

I printed the image on Arches watercolor paper. I colored the images with different brands and mediums of red and/or pink watercolor markers, crayons and pencils. I also used different pens for adding accents. I encourage you to look at your stash and color away. I fussy cut the image leaving a white border around it.

I die cut several stitched squares from a red & pink paper 6x6 paper pad. The die I used to cut the squares is from Lawn Fawn Stitched Square die set. I lay out the die cuts. Once I was happy with the pattern, I adhered this to the white paper panel cut at 8 1/2" x 3 1/2", the size of a slimline card.

I added stitching accents to the top and bottom of the panel. I created the stitching holes using the We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Stitch Piercer. I used DMC floss for the stitching.

For the sentiment, I die cut two hearts on a pink vellum. The heart die I used is from the Trinity Stamps Frame and Fold Die Set. I heat embossed the sentiment on one of this vellum hearts. The sentiment is from Ellen Hutson Totally Random Sayings Vol. 1 stamp set. The embossing powder I used is a Simon Says Stamp Rose Gold embossing powder. I adhered the other heart vellum on the back to make the heart less translucent. I die cut a white crepe paper using the Ellen Hutson Never Ending Fringe die. I adhered this to the back of the vellum heart. I shortened the fringes by trimming it. I adhered this to the panel. I adhered the digital image with foam tape. I added more details to the digital image using Nuvo drops and Ranger Glossy Accents.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you join us in our monthlong challenge. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
