For my card I've gone with Clearly Besotted stamp and die sets.
I've used a 5" base card and cut some card slightly smaller than the front. I used my Stampin Up scoreboard to score two lines about a quarter the way up from the bottom so I could "ground" my elements. I stamped the sofa twice using Stampin Up Not Quite Navy and die cut them both. I then cut one of the sofa's so I had the separate seat cushions, shaped them and popped them up on the other sofa using Pinflair Glue Gel. The base of the standard lamp was inked using SU Close to Cocoa and clear embossed. I stamped two lampshades using Not Quite Navy and die cut them both. The bottom one was laid over the base of the lamp and the other was shaped and popped up using Pinflair again. The two sentiments were inked with Close to Cocoa - I shaped the longer sentiment on my acrylic block to give it more interest.
Thanks for popping by. I love reading all your comments and can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge. Don't forget to go over to Addicted to CAS to see the great cards the Design Team have come up with.
Have a great weekend. Happy crafting.
