I used the Stampin’ Up! Antique Tags Host Exclusive stamp set to create my card for the Happy Stampers blog hop.  We’ve got a color challenge to play along with this week and this is what I created:

Here are the colors that we’re playing along with this week:

I started by stamping the flourish image from the First Sight stamp set (available Jan 5) in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic Black card stock.  I sprinkled the images with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed them.

I wrapped a strand of the Gold 5/8″ Satin Ribbon around the stamped panel and I adhered it with SNAIL, then adhered the panel to a Basic Black card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the image from the Antique Tags stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  I colored the sleeves in the image with my Black Stampin’ Write Marker, then cut the image out with matching Chalk Talk Framelits die and I adhered it with SNAIL to a panel from the Gold Foil Sheets that I’d punched on both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

I adhered the layered sentiment panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then tied a bow from Gold Satin 5/8″ Ribbon and adhered it next to the sentiment with a Glue Dot.

I stamped the flourish image from the First Sight stamp set in Basic Black Archival ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.
