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

Spring Flowers in August

Another week has flown by and August has come in with its normal heatwave.  I keep wishing for rain as the clouds part on their way through town.  Sigh, I'll go get the hose.... Today I have 2 cards to share with you. The first card starts with a base of Stampin' Up Terracotta Tile.  I love the mellow hue that it sets for the daffodils, and it reminded me of an unusual color combination that I have seen in a newer variety of the flower.  Just to clear the air... daffodils bloom in February in north Texas and are one of our first signs of spring.  So it isn't really a summer flower here, though I know other areas of the country/world it would bloom much later and might be considered an early summer flower.   I used a retired SU mask with SU Sparkle embossing paste mixed with a little terracotta ink to create the trellis pattern.  While that was drying I stamped the flowers with Altenew Paint-a-Flower Daffodils set in Versamark black and clear embossing powder.  I water color

Tonight was craft Zoom night, so I have 3 more cards for challenges completed.  I am really loving the time together when we can't be together! The first card is for Global Design Project and the Papercraft Card Challenge.   I started with Stampin' Up Whisper White card stock with Concord & 9th Feathered stamp set in SU Dapper Denim (because I don't have Misty Moonlight yet), Pool Party and Petal Pink.  I masked the floral feather and stamped the upright one.  The washi tape is retired SU and the sentiment is from  set and is cut with an SU die, not sure what set it came from.  This is layered on a Petal Pink card stock base.
