CAS Fall Thanks ~ HSS302, PP417, FF0020

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for our new challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  It's a color challenge this time and uses Merry Merlot, Crushed Curry, and Pumpkin Pie.  To me, it says fall leaves.  I decided to take the clean and simple route by masking off a section of my Whisper White card front and sponging on each one of the challenge colors.  I then stamped leaves from Painted Harvest in the coordinating colors.

After removing the mask, I ran it through the Big Shot using the woodland embossing folder--first on one side of the masked image and then the other.  I laid two strips of Gold Foil paper on each side colored area to give it a little glitz.  I finished things off with a wooden button, a couple leaves punched with the leaf punch (snipped to be smaller), gold embossed sentiment banner, and a simple gold metallic cord tied into a bow.  

I thought this all fit nicely into the Paper Players Challenge #447, and Festive Friday #0020. 

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Jingle Bells Caroler ~ CCMC382

Hello!  Another Thursday has rolled around and that means another great Create with Connie and Mary challenge.  This week's challenge is a fabulous color trio.  I was stumped when I first looked at this trio and have been on a roll with Christmas cards....and these don't seem like Christmas colors...

And then I saw this little dude on Pinterest.  Hmmmm.  I thought he could look cute done up in the challenge trio.  Once I got going my little caroler came together fairly quickly!  I decided to use gold instead of Delightful Dijon on my card, too.

I made a little guide to show the punches and dies I used.  I'm sorry it's so crude, but I'm by no means computer savvy at all.  :)

You get the idea though!  His top hat was just a plain rectangle that I angled in slightly with my scissors.  His nose is the tiniest circle punch from the Owl Builder punch and his cheeks are a regular standard hole paper punch.  

The notes on his music sheet came from {Jingle All The Way}, as well as the sentiment.

For not loving this color combo to start out with, I think my creation turned out pretty well!  

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

Stamps: Jingle All the Way

Ink: Black, Island Indigo, White craft

Paper: Island Indigo, Elegant Eggplant, Gold Glimmer, Chocolate Chip, Black, White, Blushing Bride 

Accessories: Woodlands EF, Deco Labels Framelits, Snow Friends Framelits, 3/4", 1', 1/8" hole punches, Owl Builder punch, Dimensionals

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

A Little Foxy ~ HSS221 & PP263

Hey everyone!  It's time for another Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge!  Yay!  Challenge #221 is a sketch chosen by Ange.

  

I'm also entering this card in The Paper Players 263 - Fall scene.

I started this card off with by inking the Woodland EF with my brayer and Early Espresso ink.  Here's a link with pictures of this technique.  It adds such depth to the background.  

I colored the fox image from  {The Wilderness Awaits} with my blender pen and ink pads and cut it out with my oval framelits. Burlap and Early Espresso ribbon provide a nice background banners to mimic those in the sketch.  

The little acorn is from last year's holiday catalog, but there are some neat, similar wooden leaf and acorn embellishments in this years catalog too!  I swiped this one with Early Espresso and Baked Brown Sugar ink before attaching it to the card.

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

Stamps: The wilderness awaits

Ink: Tangerine Tango, Really Rust, Garden Green, Early Espresso, Baked Brown Sugar

Paper: Early Espresso, Garden Green, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Autumn Wooden Elements, Linen Thread, Burlap ribbon, Early Espresso seam binding, Woodland EF, Oval Framelits, dimensionals

Fall Frolicking Dog ~ CCMC372 & The Challenge 41

Hello!  It's another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  This week's color combo is really cool!  The only problem with my card is I used Daffodil Delight instead of So Saffron.  For some reason I had it in my head that the lightest color was Daffodil Delight.....maybe I got mixed up on the word delightful.....Delightful Dijon.  I don't know.  Anyway, one of my shades of yellow is just a bit off.  

I also used the sketch from The Challenge #41.  

I thought it would be fun to create a fallish night scene with these colors and the new Sleigh Ride Egdelits dies and {Jingle All the Way}.  I love the playful dog image that looks like it's frolicking along the hills!   The Woodland EF provides and extra fall feel for the background.

Make sure you hop on over the CCMC and check out all the other fabulous creations by the others on the DT!  

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
