Repost and two new fall cards

-

So, I posted a card late last week and completely forgot to put it in the challenges listed. And then I saw comments on it after I reposted. So... Here it is again, followed by a couple new ones.


 The base is Stratmore Bristol watercolor paper.  The flowers are from Altenew Flower Garden stamped in Versamark and embossed with Smokey Slate embossing powder.  They were water colored with Stampin Up Misty Moonlight, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather and Smokey Slate Classic inks. The sentiment is from Altenew Beautiful day, also embossed with Smokey Slate embossing powder.


This is being entered into Global Design Project and Clean and Simple  Colors and Sketches challenges. (well, it would have been IF I had been paying attention.  Ug)

 

 

For the first NEW card,  I started with a base of heavy weight Stampin' Up Whisper White card stock.  I stamped the figure from the Simon Says Stamp Pumpkin Spice Season stamp set in Versamark black and embossed with clear. I colored the image with SU Stampin' Blends Cajun Craze, BlackBerry Bliss and Pretty Peacock.  The sentiment is from the same set and was stamped in Versamark watermark and embossed with white on Blackberry Bliss card stock.


This card will be entered into CAS(e) this Sketch and  Paper Players Challenges.

The second card also features images from the SSS Pumpkin Spice Season stamp set (can you tell I love this set??!!) I cut the strips and stamped with Versamark Black and embossed clear.  They were colored with Mango Melody, Cherry Cobbler and Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends.  The sentiment (from the same set) was stamped in Cherry Cobbler.  The coffee cup (from SU Merry Cafe stamped in Cinnamon Cider) was thrown in to use some empty space.

 


Challenges: Global Design Project, CAS Colours and Sketches

 

 

That's all for now.  Have a great weekend!

Gettin' Beachy

School is back in session, virtally, of course and I want to go to the beach.  So.... Two challenge cards to post today. The first card is for CAS on Friday (Nature) (which I missed the linkup to), The Card Concept , Just Add Ink , Time Out Challenge and Sunday Stamps (which I ALSO missed the linkup to, grrrrr). I did this card twice, well actually 3 times, but twice that I liked :).  The card on the right was first.  I stamped Hero Arts Layering Waves on Stratmore Bristol watercolor paper with Stampin' Up ink: Seashore Spray, Misty Moonlight and Sahara Sand.  Then I brushed the sky with Soft Sky, Baja Breeze, Fresh Fig and Pale Plum.  I stamped the sentiments in Versamark and embossed with Hero Arts Sand embossing powder.  The sailboat is from OLLLDDD retired SU Toy Box stamped in Versamark Obsidian Black and colored with Whisper White craft ink.  Last, I made foam with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ivory Seashell.  I thought the sunset purple was a lot overdone, so I decided to try

First Christmas card of the year

Oh yes, a Christmas card in April.  But I just couldn't help it.  See there is a lovely challenge from Merry Monday Christmas Challenge to build a snowman and then Mojo Monday had some lovely circles to play with and look what happened!!!  Frozen is so HOT right now that I just had to do it!   I don't do such intricate punching very often.  In fact this is the 2nd face I did because the first one looked maniacal.  This one the glue dried too quickly and messed up the paper before the eyes were placed correctly.  Sigh... I'll be playing with this one again to see if I can expidite the process and get a better result.  The arms and hair are hand cut, the eyes, nose and charcoal were punched with the mini circle punch and trimmed.  The colors are not your ordinary combo for Christmas, but I just love Baha Breeze (I miss it so!) and Island Indigo and Raspberry Ripple look great with it.  I used a bit of retired Sale-a-Bration Indigo ribbon to accent.
