Krafty Chicks Challenge #587: All Occasions

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Welcome to another great challenge week from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. All Occasions is the theme, so pretty much anything thing goes. Here's my card:

 Stampin' Up! recently hosted a virtual On Stage Event. This is where demonstrators around the world gather (usually locally and in person) to learn new business tips, strategies, and class ideas. We also see lots of sample projects using new products from the up coming catalogue and create a few Make & Take cards. In this case it's the new Mini January-June 2022 catalogue and the first Sale-A-Bration brochure. We can also purchase a Swag box, which this stamp set was included. I used what I had on had (because I didn't buy the whole collection at the time). So this is my CASE (Copy And Share Elements) of one of the Make & Takes.

At first I tried stamping the image in White Craft ink, using the heat tool to speed up the drying process and then coloured with the white watercolor pencil to highlight her comfy set up.

It seemed faded or washed out to me so I wanted to see if I could brighten the outline.
 

 

 

 Then I used the White Craft ink again for the image but used white embossing powder to brighten the outline. Using the watercolor pencils again for the comfy set up, leaving her, the book, the puppy and the coffee mug untouched.

This I liked much better.

 

 

I didn't have any of the sparkly, glittery ribbon so I used the Wink of Stella pen to make my glitter element, just by painting a piece of card stock. I also paper pieced the book to make it stand out and add another focal element.

 

Supplies I used:

• In The Moment stamp set: 157987 (coming January 2022)
  
• Craft White ink pad: 147277
• Evening Evergreen ink pad: 155576
  
• Evening Evergreen card stock: 155574
• Soft Succulent card stock: 155776
• Basic White card stock: 159276
• In Good Taste Designer Series Paper: 152494
  
• White Embossing powder: 155554
• Heat Tool: 129053
• Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1: 141709
• Wink of Stella (clear): 141897
• Paper Snips Scissors: 103579
  
• Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
  

I kept the inside of the card simple with a band of glitter card stock and DSP. Just a stamped image on the envelope front and DSP on the flap completed the set.
