Thankful For Pretty Pumpkins

 

I did a little casing of a card from fellow demo Angela Meyer over at wildvioletsart.com for the water color card today. You can see her card here. I thought these were so soft and pretty in these shades of Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, Gray Granite.  I used the white base and added Petal Pink card stock and then a piece of Soft Succulent ran through the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. I then cut a white Stitched So Softly die to pop up after stamping the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkin set. I stamped the pumpkins and the extra leaves in Stazon Black ink on water color paper and then used my water painter brush to color the pumpkins and leaves. I used the matching Detailed Pumpkins dies to cut them out and pop up on the rectangle die. I finished off with genial gems in Pale Papaya. 

Hope you have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friend In Welcoming Woods

 

I did some more of the baby wipe technique for this card with the leaves and the sentiment. I started with a Crumb Cake base and added a piece of Early Espresso ran through the Bark 3D folder. I then cut  piece of white card stock and stamped the trees from Welcoming Woods set in Early Espresso ink. I then used my blending brush to do a circle of Pumpkin Pie ink blended in the middle of the trees. I then used another blending brush with Misty Moonlight ink to blend on the bottom. I made my own ink pad with the baby wipes by adding drops of Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive inks. I used it to stamp my leaves several times over my leaves and then for my sentiment from the same set on a Crumb Cake banner Tasteful Labels die. I wrapped some Night of Navy twine around and added a bow to finish off. 

I love how it looks like a fall day in the woods!

Have a awesome day and thanks for stopping by!

Much Gratitude With Gorgeous Leaves

 

So many beautiful prints in the Blackberry Beauty DSP pack. I cut one fav for the bottom of this card and used those colors for my card using the Gorgeous Leaves bundle. I have a Blackberry Bliss base and layered on a piece of Basic White card stock and then a piece of Cinnamon Cider which is stamped with the background stamps in the Gorgeous Leaves set in Blackberry Bliss ink. I then added the DSP strip to the bottom and stamped the sentiment on a white strip from the Heartfelt Wishes set in Blackberry Bliss ink for the center. I stamped the leaves in Bliss and Cinnamon Cider inks on white card stock and cut them along with the gold foil leaf from the Intricate Leaves dies. I finished it off with a gold 1/4" shimmer ribbon bow. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a lovely day full of beauty!

FMS502 & PP558 May The Good You Do

 

I cut into more of the lovely Blackberry Beauty DSP and paired it with the Shaded Summer set and the  matching dies for the sketch challenge over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com  and used gold for my fourth color for Ann's color challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com   

I used a Blackberry Bliss base and added the DSP on and then cut a stitched rectangle in Blackberry card stock. I stamped the image from Shaded Summer in Blackberry Bliss ink on white card stock and then cut it with the matching died called Summer Shadows dies. I also cut it again in Polished Pink plus a few leaves to add behind like a shadow. I also grabbed some gold stems and leaves from the Blackberry Beauty ephemera pack to add. I got the strip for the sentiment from the same pack and stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink from the Shaded Summer set. I finished it off with a few gold dots and the tie of Blackberry Bliss striped ribbon-retired. 

Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

FF0092 Ornate Thanks

 

I made another card for the challenge over at festivefridaychallenge.com this week picking white, pearls, leaves, die cuts and non rectangle cards. I cut a 4" by 8" piece of white card stock and scored at 4" to make a 4" square card. I cut the white leaves twice from the Forever Flourishing dies and added them to the white base. I then stamped the sentiment from Ornate Thanks in Gorgeous Grape and cut tit out with the Rectangle Stitched dies. I added some Gorgeous Grape pearls to finish it off. 

Simple card to throw in a package I was mailing this week. 

Hoe you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PP557 & FF092 Happy 75th Birthday!

 

I immediately thought of my mom who has a big birthday coming up in October! The big 75 and it worked perfect for the number challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week and I used some elements from the pick challenge over at festivefridaychallenge.com   I picked white, pearls, die cuts, and leaves. I really wanted some bling and there were several sheets of the retired Blushing Bride glimmer paper (at least I think it is Blushing Bride). I decided to pair it with Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot card stock and a white base. I ran the piece of Blushing bride card stock through the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. I cut a white Encircled In beauty large die and popped it on the background. I cut the glitter paper with the retired  Large Numbers dies and the Artistic dies. I cut apart the leaves and did not punch out the detail on the leaves. I liked them solid. I also cut some white small leaves from the Nature's Thoughts dies to add. I stamped the 'th' and the sentiments on white card stock from the retired Number of Years set in Merry Merlot ink. I cut them with the Floral Gallery scallop label dies. I finished it off with some pastel pearls. 

Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!
