A Pewter Merry Christmas

Greetings and happy December! The holidays are upon us and I thought I would share this simple creation. I used the gorgeous

Pumpkin Spice

Deb here with a Thanksgiving Day post celebrating my love of Pumpkin Spice. I wanted to share one of my favorite Technique Junkie stamps before Fall ends and Winter officially begins.. The Pumpkin Spice stamp is so much fun to create with .. I used mini ink pads and some highlighting tape - along with my MISTI - to create my colorful cards .. 

• I adhered patterned papers from the Newton's Nook "Autumn" paper pad to kraft card bases.
  
• The Pumpkin Spice image was stamped on cream cardstock with Memento Dew Drop Mini ink pads -  Rich Cocoa, Cottage Ivy, Morocco and Peanut Brittle . I covered the leaves and pumpkin with highlighter tape to stamp the sentiment . 
• My Mini Dew Drop ink pads were then perfect for stamping the other areas in different colors.
• I matted the top stamped panel with a dark green cardstock and used an etched square die on the other .
• A brown plaid strip of paper was placed across the center of the patterned paper on the top card . A green plaid border was adhered along the top of the other stamped panel.
• The stamped panels were placed using  foam tabs .
• I placed some autumn colored rhinestones on the patterned paper on the bottom card .

Happy 50th Anniversary

\

I had so much fun making this anniversary card using Oak Relief and Simple Sentiments 1a. I stamped the image in versamark and embossed it in copper. I then set about watercoloring. I matted the image with copper metallic card stock.

I made this for my SIL's 50th wedding anniversary. I had to wait until post anniversary to post it!

They were pretty tickled.
