Well Dressed

The 2nd Release of SAB is coming!  Starting March 3 through March 31.  With a purchase of $50 or $100 in products from any current catalog, choose from the free items in SAB catalogs.  I'm highlighting the stamp set from this 2nd Release, called WELL DRESSED.  It's a great set for making a masculine card.

CARD #1

Colors for this first card:

• Sahara Sand card stock for the card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded at 4 1/4"
• Tropical Oasis DSP for layer 4" x 5 1/4"  (item 151252)
• Whisper White CS 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
• Tuxedo Black Memento ink
• Soft Suede ink
• Gray Granite ink
• Stamp sets:  Well Dressed (152300), Parisian Beauty - for the sentiment (item 151466)

Stamp a "smudge" of Gray Granite in two diagonal spots - (I used an old stamp set Happy Watercolor);  Artisan Textures (item 151278) set would be great here.

On top of this, using Memento, stamp the tie-and-collar image and the pen, keys, watch images.

Using the Soft Suede, stamp hat image, and stamp the shoe.  To get the 2nd shoe - place a mask over the first shoe, then stamp the 2nd shoe slightly above & behind.  

(To do a mask, stamp the shoe image on a sticky pad like Post-It; cut out the shoe; stick on top of the first shoe image on the card; stamp 2nd image.)
Finally, stamp the sentiment in Memento in upper corner.

CARD #2:

Colors for the 2nd card:

• Blueberry Bushel card stock as the base 11" x 4 1/4", folded at 5 1/2"
• Whisper White layer 4" x 5 1/4"
• Blueberry Bushel side panel 5 1/8" x 2 3/8"
• Pleased As Punch DSP layer (raindrops) 2 1/4" x 5"  (153558)
• Whisper White piece - cut a tag from Bonanza Dies (item 151566, or Bundle 153815)
•  Inks:  Blueberry Bushel and Balmy Blue
• Stamp sets: Well Dressed (152300), Under My Umbrella (151518)
• Dies:  Bonanza Dies, Stitched Rectangles (item 148551)

On the larger white panel, randomly stamp the hat from Well Dressed and the boots from Under My Umbrella, alternating ink colors.   On a piece of white, stamp the umbrellas from Well Dressed, one in each color.  Cut out using the tag die from Bonanza Dies. On another piece of white, stamp the sentiment from Under My Umbrella set in Balmy Blue & cut out with Stitched Rectangle die. 

Adhere the layers using snail adhesive except the sentiment - adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
