Make Today Amazing ~ HSS447, TTTC256


Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments photo inspiration challenge #447. 
I was inspired by the watercolored maple leaves.  I used the Changing Leaves EF and dies and brushed the color onto watercolor paper.  The background was a cast off from a previous project. It's a peice of Basic Beige that I had embossed with my Distessed Tile EF and sponged a bit of color on.   I added some more stamping using Notes of Nature stamped in Pebbled Path. I used a blending brush to add more ink to the edges.
I'm also playing along with Tic Tac Toe Challenge again and this time I using the vertical center inspiration of Gems, Free, and Die Cut.

 
After I watercolored the ink onto the leaves, I sponged the edges with more Pebbled Path ink.
My gems come in the form of Opal Rounds.  I finished this card off with some Vanilla Gingham ribbon and a bit of Linen Thread.


Here's a list of my supplies.....
stamps: Changing Leaves, You are Beautiful, Notes of Nature
ink: Pebbled Path, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
paper: Basic Beige, watercolor, Very Vanilla
accessories: Linen Thread, Vanilla Gingham ribbon, Distressed Tile EF, Changing Leaves EF, Changing Leaves Dies

Fall Wedding Foliage ~ CTD810, TTTC256


I created this card for a wedding we are attending this weekend.  I was inspired by this card on Instagram made by Sandra Strobel.  Her cards are real works of art!

I used Color Throwdown's color combination this week of brick red, terracotta, and green.  The colors I used were Copper Clay, Pecan Pie, and Old Olive.
And because I always like to see if I can combine challenges, I found Tic Tac Toe Challenge #256 and I used the vertical left column of Spring/Fall, Embossing, and Layers.

I was also inspired by a video by Karen Titus where she demonstrated how to make an exploding or busted canvas card.  My exploding canvas is kind of covered up, by all the foliage, but I like it like that!







Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: Changing Leaves, Everyday Greetings, Happiness Abounds
Ink: Pecan Pie
Paper: Pecan Pie, Copper Clay, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Country Woods DSP
Accessories: Tasteful Textiles EF, Changing Leaves EF and dies, Woven Golden Leaves, Craft Rope, Druzy Embellishments

Latte Thanks ~ HSS446, SSC343, TTTC255


Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments latest sketch challenge.  It's a trio of something sketch!  I don't know why, but I've always seemed to shy away from sketches like this.  Sometimes it's good to step out of your comfort zone.  That's why I love these challenges!  It forces me to use colors, sketches and themes I might not usually gravitate towards!
Anyway, I used my Latte Love set to mimic the three circles from the sketch.  I played with the color combo from Sunday Stamps Challenge and also used the down column of Leaves, Ink Blending, and Multiples at Tic Tac Toe Challenge.
to start out with, I stamped my three images with Crumb Cake ink on white cardstock.  I used Pecan Pie ink to stamp the heart design coffee.  I then colored all three images with blends:  Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Copper Clay.  I like the no line look the Crumb Cake ink gives after the whole image is colored.  
Next, I cut out a stitched rectangle from watercolor paper and put a Boho Blue watercolor wash on it.  I pulled out my Changing Leaves dies and but leaves from vellum and Crushed Curry cardstock.  
For the background, I stamped the coffee ring and coffee splatter stains on Copper Clay cardstock and then ran it though the Cut and Emboss machine with my Brick and Mortar EF.  I sponged the cardstock lightly with Pecan Pie ink to give the bricks a bit more definition.  The card was finished off with a cute sentiment from a retired coffee set called Press On and a few Dots for Days embellishments.




 Here's a list of my supplies...….

Stamps: Latte Love, Press On

Ink: Crumb Cake, Boho Blue, Pecan Pie

Blends Colors: Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Copper Clay

Paper: Copper Clay, watercolor, Boho Blue, Vellum, White

Accessories: Changing Leaves dies, Brick and Mortar EF, Stitched Rectangles dies, Dots for Days

Rich Berry Sympathy ~ HSS445, AHS591

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge #445.  This time we are using three fabulous colors and I can't wait to see what everyone does with them!  They are so rich and regal!
I also used the sketch challenge from Atlantic Hearts Challenge #591


I really love to work with florals, so I chose to use the Country Flowers set again.  I know that I will be reaching for this set over and over again!  I love all the cute pots the flowers can sit in.
Anyway, I didn't have any Moody Mauve DSP, So I made my own from a very, very old background stamp called Well Worn Words.  I still love the look this old stamp gives.  For the embossed background, I rubbed some Wild Wheat ink onto my Distressed Tile EF and pressed it onto Crumb Cake cardstock.  For the sentiments, I went with Quiet Reflections.  I love this bible verse.




Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: Quiet Reflections, Country Flowers, Well Worn Words
Ink: Black Memento, Wild Wheat (pad and blends), Blackberry Bliss (pad and blends), Moody Mauve Blends, Bronze Blend
Accessories: Distressed Tile EF, Tinsel Gems, Linen Thread, Stitched So Sweetly Dies
