Craft Roulette #270 - You're Stellar

 

After watching the Craft Roulette Challenge #270, I was so excited about two of the parameters, that I jumped in again this week.  The parameters that inspired me were A7 and Arch.  

A few weeks ago, I was shopping the JoAnn's Closeout Sale and came across the Tim Holtz Big Shot Switch Plus Machine marked down to $100.  I had been wanting one of those for a long time, but just couldn't justify the cost when I already had two Big Shot Machines.  Plus I would probably miss burning off all those calories cranking on the Big Shot - Ha! Ha!.  I am not one to walk away from a good deal so of course it went home with me.  One of the most exciting things about my purchase is that I was finally able to make the A7 arched card using the Trinity Stamps Arched Shaped Card Die.  I have used a lot of the dies that come with the set, but never the card.  

Back to Craft Roulette, so then the wheel landed on A7 and Arch, it was a no brainer!  The other two parameters were 1980's colors and Interjection.  The 1980's colors were easy, but I don't really have any "interjection" die cuts, so the word Love had to work.  

Trinity Stamps came out with a fun stamp set this past spring called, You're Stellar, that reminded me of the Lisa Frank/My Little Pony things, so I felt that it would work perfect with the 1980's colors.  Plus it has a really nice sentiment that I could use inside the card.

The heart from the You're Stellar Stamp set was colored with Copic Markers in the following colors:

V000, V01, V04

RV10, RV21, RV04

B00, BG15, BG53

Y11, Y06, Y18

YR07

I cut my card from black cardstock and then used the dies on the right side of the set to cut out my other arches.  For my final arch layer, I used the Time Warp Letterpress Plate with some silver glimmer foil.  That plate reminds me of Star Wars which also helped with the vibe I was looking for.  

I cut the work "love" was cut from black cardstock using the Simply Sentimental: Love Die.  For the letters, I used the same cardstock that the arches were cut from.

This was a super fast card to make.  I was worried that it was going to be difficult to cover such a large area, but I let the dies and the paper do all the work.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a stellar day!
