SCS Challenge - I

This card was created for one of the SCS Challenges where we were supposed to use Flock on a card... I thought it would be fun to use the Flock with a stamp that has a large design so I decided to go with the Baroque background stamp. It was pretty late last night, so I ended up cutting my card base with the wrong dimensions, and as a result my Baroque background ended up being sideways. LOL

Anyhoo... The Basic Black card base is 4 3/4" x 5 1/4", the Whisper White layer is 4 1/2" x 5", and the Soft Sky layer is 4 1/4" x 4 3/4". I used my Tsukineko Glue Pad with my Baroque background stamp, and gooped it up enough to give the stamped image some tackiness. For me personally, I found the best way to get good coverage with Flock is to allow the glue to set for 2-3 seconds after you pull the stamp off of the paper and add the Flock. The glue just seems a little more tacky when you let it sit for an extra moment or two.

I really like the look of Flock, but I'm not so sure how often I'll be using it going forward... This stuff is MESSY! There were about a million and one little black fibers all over the place by the time I was finished. :)

Before I assembled the layers, I used my Aqua Painter and my Soft Sky ink pad to color the two Pretties flowers I wanted to put on the card. While the flowers were drying, I went ahead and taped down my layers. Then I stamped my sentiment on Whisper White, and used my 3/4" punch. I then layered that off center on top of a 1" circle punch of Basic Black, and attached it to the flowers. Pop dots were used to attached the flowers to the card.
