Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Encouragement Card

Welcome to Technique Tuesday! This is the Joseph's Coat Technique, which I did here. That one was a CASE and this one is an original! I'm entering my card in the Try it on Tuesday Challenge - Emboss It. 

Here are the deets in a nutshell!

Very Vanilla Base – 4 ¼ x 11, scored and folded at 5 ½

Early Espresso Mat – 3 ½” x 4 ¼”

Crushed Curry Mat – 3 ¼” x 4 1/8”

Very Vanilla Art Panel – 3 1/8” x 4”

Sponge Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie on Very Vanilla art panel

Stamp maple leaf and keys in VersaMark ink. Sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set

Sponge Early Espresso all over art panel until it is shaded to your taste

Wipe ink off with clean paper towel

Adhere image to Crushed Curry Mat and that to the Early Espresso Mat

Stamp the little maple leaf from the retired Colorful Seasons Stamp Set randomly in Crushed Curry, first and second generation on the card front. Then adhere image panel/mats to the card base.

The tag is cut with the Tailored Tags Die Set and sponged with Early Espresso. The “Hello” is from the Forever Fern Stamp Set. I tied a piece of Faux Suede Ribbon through it and added 3 Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. The sentiment tag is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals as is the framed image

For the inside...

The sentiment from the Through it Together Stamp Set is a little off kilter but so is my friend's life. Since I made this for a male friend who is going through a bit of a rough time, I am entering it in The Male Room Challenge #166 - Song Title. Mine is Autumn Leaves. So many people sang it but my favorite is Tony Bennett. My favorite instrumental version is Roger Williams. Oh, this brings back memories!

In keeping with the fall theme, I'm also playing at Make The Cards Challenge #63

Last, but not least, I'm entering my card in the SUOC #310: Autumn/Fall. If you have made a fall card, think about entering it there. They need 15 cards submitted in order to pick a top 3. I'm #7 so we have 8 more to go!

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a terrific Tuesday.
