Autumn Blessings

With fall in the air, I decide to make an autumn themed card last night. I used the sketch challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges. This is a great group of stampers with lots of inspiration!

My stamp image is from Papertrey Ink. I colored the image with Copics and added a little Spica gold glitter pen to the gold leaves. This pretty fall paper is also from Papertrey. I cut the four squares and sponged the edges with Tim Holtz Distressing Ink in Vintage Photo. Yes, I am hooked on these distress inks. I like the soft edge it give to my paper. I added some sheer ribbon, pearls in the corner, and pearl flower accent, and a sentiment from the Autumn Abundance stamp set.

Have a good day,

Autumn Blessings

Thank You Card

I love my new Autumn Blessing stamp set from PaperTrey Ink. I love the elegance of the set and the sentiments that can be used year round. I am working on a set of thank you notes so I will be posting a few more cards with this set. I used the Get Sketchy layout for week three. I am really enjoying their sketches!

The mums are colored with copics, cut out with nestibilities, and I added some distressing ink around the edges. I used my labels die cut for the red background. I rounded all the corners, and added lace, ribbon, and a sentiment tied on with a little twine. The final touch was a few pearls at the corners.

Hope you had a good weekend. I has been nice to have some stamping time!

Thank You Card

A Sweet Thank You

I have a few new PTI stamps I have been so wanting to have time to play with. There is never enough time is there! I made a couple of cards this week, one of which was with my new PTI Everyday Button Bits. I also played around with the Jen Del Muro's Sketch For You to Try.

I stampes the leaves in SU Old Olive and then cut out a little hill. I threaded the buttons with PTI twine and used glue dots to attach them. The border is two border punches in Old Olive and PTI Vintage Cream layered together. I added ribbon and lace, sponged the edges with Distressing Ink and some machine stitching around the edges. The DP is October Afternoon.

The flower is from Heidi Swapp and the sentiment is from the stamp set.

Thanks for Stopping By,

Happy Harvest

Two posts in one day! That hardly ever happens!

Although I will be sad to see summer come to an end, I have admit that fall is my favorite season. A couple of weeks ago the challenge at Our Creative Corner was an inspiration challenge, In rural communities, it’s almost time for harvest. Don't you just love the colors in this picture.

This was the perfect opportunity to use my new PTI set, Vintage Picnic. I stamped and colored the basket and pumpkins with my Copics. I cut out the napkin, added a little lace and popped it up on the basket. I love this image!

The DP is from Fooh La La. I added zig zag stitch around the edges with my sewing machine, brads in the corner, lace, ribbon, and the leaf charm. Just makes you feel like putting on a sweater!

Have a good day,

Melody
