Concord & 9th | Contempo Alpha

Hello there, today I have a card to share using a few products from the Concord & 9th February 2024 release. I have to admit, I made this card a while ago for my uncle and (not so) cleverly didn't write down the colours of inks that I used! I am pretty certain that I got it right, but if it is wrong, I apologise!

I started off by stamping the Concord & 9th Contempo Turnabout Stamp onto white cardstock. I used the Altenew Stampwheel for this, which made the turning of the stamp very easy to do. However, I realised on my second turn that my cardstock was not cut perfectly straight so a few of the stamped images overlap, when they shouldn't be. I still thought it looked good though, so I continued with it! 

I used Concord & 9th Inks in Rainforest, Oceanside and Aqua Sky (this is the colour that I am not 100% certain on!). I only completed three turns of the stamp as I liked the white space. I took a US A2 sized white card base and added a sheet of Concord & 9th Oceanside Cardstock on top. I then cut the background piece down and adhered it on top using thin foam tape. 

I die cut the Concord & 9th All Together Alphabet Lowercase Die set so that I had two layers each of white cardstock for all the letters and then die cut it again using Concord & 9th Rainforest, Oceanside and Aqua Sky Cardstock. I stacked up the white cardstock layers first and adhered them to the card. I then adhered the colourful ones on top randomly. To finish the card, I added a few Concord & 9th White Enamel Dots.

Concord & 9th are my go-to company for creating cards for the men in my family! I love the modern feel of this background and although the card is a little busier than I would normally make, I think the alphabet set works well with the background! I am looking forward to using the Turnabout again but maybe in neutral tones for a subtle background! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!
