Season of Blessings

Season of Blessings...

   Hello Friends and welcome!  Sharing this project today which features an absolutely adorable set from Hello bluebird (Fall Banner Buddies), Copic coloring, and Ink Blending using Distress Inks (forest moss and gathered twigs).

   To begin, I stamped several images from this set onto X-press it blending card using Memento Rich Cocoa dye ink.  Once images where stamped, I die cut these using the coordinating die set.  Next, I Copic colored each image.

   After the images where colored, I began working on my background.  I chose the Knitted Sweater BG stamp from MyFavoriteThings using Ripe Avocado dye ink from Paper Trey Ink onto a piece of coordinating cardstock.  I then die cut a piece of Cream cardstock from SimonSaysStamp using Lawn Fawn’s small stitched squares die set.  I ink blended the bottom portion of the square using the above mentioned inks.  

   To finish, I assembled the elements then adhered to a SimonSaysStamp Cream cardstock card base.  The finished card measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 square card.

   Thanks so much for stopping by today...Happy Thanksgiving! 

 

Many Thanks

Many Thanks...

   Hello Friends and welcome!  Fall has fully arrived in my neck of the woods and I find myself moving away from bright and bold colors of summer to more jewel and/or muted tones for my cards.  Today’s card features just that idea where with Copics, I chose a more rustic feel and wanted the colors to evoke the feeling of a crisp Fall day.  

Today’s card features this super cute set from Avery Elle (Aw, Nuts) and Copic coloring.  Isn’t the tiny coffee cup just the cutest?!  To start, I stamped the squirrel/nut house and several leaves from the set and die cut using the coordinating die.  I thought having the nut house hang from a tree branch would add a little more interest to the card without taking away from the CAS (Clean and Simple) feel of the card.  I dug through my Avery Elle stash and found a tree branch from another cutie set (O Tiny Tree).  I masked part of the “tree” off and stamped, then die cut using the coordinating die then fussy cutting the bottom portion.  

After the images where die cut, I then Copic colored images.  Next, I die cut a piece of Lawn Fawn’s white woodgrain cardstock and die cut a stitched circle from kraft cardstock.

To finish, I stamped sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock and white heat embossed.  I trimmed the sentiment then assembled elements before adhering to a kraft cardstock card base.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!
