My Convention Swaps Card 2, Stampin’ Up! Convention

Okee dokee – i hope you are enjoying my swap cards and a little more about them.

This ones was my digital remake of a card in the 2011-2012 Idea book and Catalog. I loved it, and knew I could do it justice. What I didn't realize when I started was how detailed this on would really be!

So, at first glance it seems like a fairly simple card. the background in Calypso Coral – LOVE this color. I made the white scallop square using like 8 or 9 scallop square punches. I layered them on top of each other rather than enlarging it so that I didn't mess up the size of the scallops. Then I layered a Lucky Limeade square punch on top, and being as the grid stamp wasn't available yet, I used the lines stamp also in Lucky Limeade with a drop shadow, then another one, rotated. Being as the flowers are stamps, the background shows through, so…behind the Wisteria Wonder flower from the Printed Petals set is a bunch of white filled ovals. Then behind the Riding Hood Red (?) flower is the scallop oval punch, then more white oval punches, then the Calypso Coral flower, then a white circle, then the Lucky Limeade Flower….whew….still reading? Make sense?

The saying is from Messages from Mom, but is a "one line" stamp. Being as I wanted a two line sentiment, I "stamped" it twice, lined it up and then cropped out what I didn't want with a Calypso Coral square punch. Whew….

It was fun to think outside the box a little to make a traditional card come to life digitally.

Hope you enjoy – remember that there will be new downloads available tomorrow morning! I live for Tuesdays! I will post the link to them here in the morning…..

Have a great day,

Jeanna
