Fall Color Twist

This is a fall leaves card with a little twist to the colors. I thought the vibrant colors on the french foliage set were fun against the pink pirouhette background panel embossed with the woodgrain EF. I first stamped the french foliage leaves in stazon black on watercolor paper; colored with a blender pen using calypso coral, elegant eggplant and melon mambo. Easy peasy!

Acrylic Block Leaves

 

I tried the acrylic block technique and didn't like the image on the paper so I decided to diecut the leaves out of it and add some color spritzing and brayering to them.

I stamped pumpkin pie and cajun craze on my acrylic block, sprayed with water, then stamped on whisper white. I then diecut all of the leaves; used SU's color spritzer tool and added cherry cobbler, more mustard and crumb cake. Brayered edges with soft suede on some leaves and cajun craze on the others. Background panels are embossed with wood grain folder. Cardstock: espresso, so saffron, whisper white. Happy Thanksgiving from TEENY TINY WISHES set. Leaves are spellbinders nested maple leaves. Ribbon is daffodil delight. I used popup dots on a few of the leaves.

Just Ducky

This is another simple format, easy to demonstrate as a make and take. This is similar to the earlier posting labeled butterfly trio. The ducks are from the wonderful winterland set. Best wishes is from the old sincere salutations set. Background embossing is chevron EF.

I am Blessed!

       We made a card today at the Hayden Library class that said "give thanks for the simple things in life" (see previous post). So I feel like I need to live what I stamp :) I have been so privileged to teach these card workshops at our local Hayden Library. In addition, I've been able to branch out and teach some card classes at Wildcat Pizza as well. I am thankful for each and every one of you that I've met during these classes. It is rare to meet such a great group of people that are so pleasant and encouraging to be around - thanks for your positive attitudes and smiling faces! I always look forward to the next class on the schedule and each time I leave feeling blessed. So I give thanks today for this opportunity, and for the great people I've met. I look forward to more :)

Simple Things

This card is a CASE originally posted by Joni Seith on stampin connection. The gals and gent at my card class this morning loved making this card!

The white cardstock is embossed with the framed tulips EF. The leaves are the shapeabilities nested maple leaves. Sentiment from an old SU set .
