Fall Sweet Fall

 

I recently picked up Unity Stamp Company's Pumpkin Hearth stamp set during a sale, and the company was kind enough to include a sheet of ephemera in with my order. I just couldn't help myself. I had to create a card right away and enter it in a few fun challenges. I will be entering this in the Friends Of Unity Color Challenge, the Color Hues Challenge, and the latest Double D challenge. I started by stamping the background text image from the stamp set with Tim Holtz distress ink directly onto my orange card base from DCWV textured cards. I then stamped the maple leaves from a Cloud 9 stamp set using the same distress ink. I adhered some beautiful fall leaf patterned paper that I had in my stash from Hobby Lobby to a kraft tag. I stamped the pumpkin image on some Ranger heavyweight watercolor paper using Versafine onyx black ink and watercolored the image using more distress inks. I fussy cut the image out and adhered it to the bottom of the tag and cut off the remainder. I backed the tag on some early espresso cardstock from Stampin' UP. I adhered it directly to my card base and cut the top off. I cut out the ephemera and backed the smaller sentiment strip to brown cardstock. I adhered both to the card using thin foam tape. I few gorgeous espresso-colored sequins from The Ton finished off this card. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

Hello and Happy Halloween! Today's card was created for the latest If You Give A Crafter A Cookie card challenge. To create my card I started by selecting four inks from Gina K Designs that matched the color challenge and stamped the leaves from the Cloud 9 Leaves stamp set onto my white A2 card base in a random pattern. I then added the small splatters from the Stampendous Sunny Flowers stamp set. I die cut the sentiment using some espresso cardstock from Stampin' UP and a die from Lil' Inkers. I popped the sentiment up off of the card base using some foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesives. To complete my card I added some sequins from The Ton in coordinating colors. I hope you like my card and thank you for visiting my blog today!
