It's time for another Craft Roulette challenge! If you've never watched, Craft Roulette is a live YouTube show where four random parameters are revealed, and card makers have just two days, (unless you're a member), to create a project that fits them all. I absolutely love how these unexpected combinations push me to try new ideas, and this week's card is one of my favorites!
Episode 325 Parameters
- Project: Flip Fold Card
- Colors: Tartan
- Element: Time or Clock
- Random: Add a Bow
For my project, I created a Flip Fold Card following a wonderful YouTube tutorial by Gina K. I chose a Golden Glowcard base and paired it with the gorgeous Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper. The rich gold and green tones fit the Tartan color challenge beautifully.
To meet the Time or Clock parameter, I used a sentiment featuring the word "Timeless." I finished the sentiment with a delicate gold bow to satisfy the random parameter of adding a bow.
One of my favorite features of this card is the stunning butterflies from the new Gilded Wings Accents pack. This 12" x 12" sheet of gold foil includes an assortment of beautifully detailed butterflies in a variety of sizes and styles. They'll be available beginning July 1 in the Online Exclusives section of my Stampin' Up! store for just $10, and I have a feeling they're going to become a favorite embellishment!
I also added touches of sparkle with the new Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush. The tiny flecks of shimmering green were exactly what this card needed to bring everything together.
On the inside, I lightly blended Golden Glow Ink across the writing panel, then used the negative portion of a leaf stencil to blend Old Olive Ink, creating a soft leafy background. A small gold butterfly finishes the inside perfectly.
I truly love how this card turned out! It's a design I probably never would have imagined on my own, and that's exactly why I enjoy participating in Craft Roulette each week. The crazy parameters inspire creativity in the best possible way.
Be sure to join the fun by watching Craft Roulette live every Friday evening at 6:10 PM Central on YouTube. Whether you create along or simply enjoy watching everyone's interpretations, it's always an inspiring time!
