Box of Crayon Leaves

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  It alllllmost feels like fall here, because the mornings are just a tiny bit cooler and crisper than they have been over the past four months.  We are still in the 90's in the afternoons, so it's not quite there yet, but I do think there is some hope for some cool fall weather on the horizon.  So with that in mind, I had a lot of fun with today's card.  

I stamped the new Leaves background from Technique Junkies with a dark brown permanent ink onto some white cardstock and let it dry.  Then I had a blast watercoloring the leaves in various shades of yellow, orange, red, green, and magenta.  While this was drying, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn set (Technique Junkies) with the same dark brown ink I used for the background.  That sentiment says it all, and it really does look like I used all the crayons in the box to color those leaves, doesn't it?  LOL

Three is better than one... Who doesn't love the colors of Autumn? It is my favorite time of the year, and here in the Northeast, nature gifts us with a palette of beautiful colors.  Our tutorial today celebrates the colors, and the sentiments on them celebrate the gratefulness they evoke, by showing you how to make three cards with the supplies.  I created two kits for you so you can save a little money if you are interested. The kits may be found HERE.

A Gel Plate Autumn

My creation today was done by brayering some fall color acrylic paints onto the gel plate and then stamped the Leaves Background onto the plate. Next, I brayered a thin layer of white acrylic paint onto the gel plate. Lastly, I pulled the print using a piece of white card stock. I absolutely love the look I got! I stamped the Pumpkin Spice sentiment in a deep red and distressed the sentiment panel by sponging. Matted with the same color and put both on a white card base.

Is It Scary?

 

I used Circle - Happy Halloween for the verse.   Haunted House Silhouette is the main image.    It was heat embossed with clear embossing powder several times until the house was shiny and embossing was even.   The cloud edger stencil from A Colorful Life Designs was used to create the cloudy sunset.  

If you want nearly all of the stamps, it would be a very good deal to buy the "Gotta Have It All"  deal, AND you can have a discount of 10% off of everything else not on sale by using the code TJ10Judy.

 

Have a terrific day! I hope it is still warm for you. And don't forget to get inky!

Dotted Branches for Fall and Winter

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Is it fall where you live yet?  We are finally out of the 100's, but with the temps in the 90's here, it's not quite fall yet.  LOL  Hopefully we will see some cool temps before the end of the month!  

I love the new fall stamps from Technique Junkies that were released this month.  I paired the Dotted Branches with the Pumpkin Spice sentiment for this autumnal pumpkin-y card above.  Some dark brown ink brushed on the edges gives the sentiment and the background a warm glow.

While I was playing with the Dotted Branches, I started wondering how it would look on a winter card.  I stamped it with Versamark onto some gold paper and then covered it with gold embossing powder.  After I tapped off the excess and melted the powder with a heat tool, I set it aside to cool off.  I stamped the Joyeux Noel with a deep merlot ink and matted it with gold and merlot cardstocks.  The gold Dotted Branches panel was adhered to a merlot card base and then I adhered the sentiment to the background.

I love how this Dotted Branches looks on this gold cardstock!  Now I have a background stamp that is perfect for the fall season as well as the winter/holiday season.  If you'd like to shop at Technique Junkies and pick up this Dotted Branches stamp, you can use this code, TJ10Holly, to help you save 10% off your order.  You can also grab the Pumpkin Spice stamp and the Joyeux Noel stamp and make some quick cards to send to your friends and family.
