Delicate Pine Edge ~ HSS473, CI196, TO298

Hello!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge #473.  I also used the color challenge of Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, Gray Granite, and Early Espresso from Colour Inkspiration #196.  I'm also playing along with Time Out Challenges #298.  I chose to use the words "Season" and "Edge". 

My card today uses the new set Delicate Pines.  I knew I'd love this set as soon as I saw it in the seasonal catalog.  I love snowflakes and I also love pine boughs, so this set is perfect!  I thought the Need For Tweed DSP would go nicely with the warmest winter wishes sentiment.  They both evoke coziness!  I cut two stitched circles, one in Shy Shamrock and one in Summer Splash and then offset the layer to add a little more interest.  I did brush some coordinating ink on the edges with my blending brushes too.  I like the depth it gives! I cut a bunch of foliage with the Delicate Pines dies and tucked it all behind the circles.  The white branches are cut from Seasonal Branches dies.  

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Delicate Pines

Ink: Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock, Gray Granite, Early Espresso, Versamark

Paper: Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, Gray Granite, Early Espresso, White, Need for Tweed DSP

Accessories: Delicate Pines dies, Seasonal Branches dies, Tinsel gems, White EP

Grateful Watercolor Leaf Trio ~ HSS472, TTTC279

Hello!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments new color challenge using Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, and Pretty Peacock.  These are fall-ish colors, but still fun and bright. I'm also playing along with Tic Tac Toe challenge using Rectangle/Three or more colors/Embossing.  

I chose to watercolor the colors onto watercolor paper and then die cut all my elements.  I love the variation of colors you can get by using this technique.  Everything on the main panel of the card is from the Label Me Grateful bundle.  For the background I used the Sunflower 3-D folder, adding texture and a fall feel.  I also added a Z-fold vanilla satin ribbon behind the main panel for a little extra something.  The yellow dot embellishments are from Dots for Days.
