Leaves Fall card... More days Like This

 Hello I have a Leaves Fall card to share.  I was so inspired by the Inspired by...Leaves Challenge that I knew I had to join the challenge.  

Without further ado here is my card.

On my card, I wanted to use the inspiration photo and sketch.  I started out with die-cutting leaves from a older Spellbinders die set called Autumn Leaves.  I used Mix Media Arches paper in 140 pounds.  I then inked my leaves around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink and Rusty Hinge distress Oxide ink.  Next, I painted them with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors in Red Gold using a paint brush and water.

I then ran a older Spellbinders Falling Leaves embossing folder through my die cutting machine. My embossing folder was inked with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink on cream colored cardstock 110 pounds.  I cut out some brown heavy weight cardstock 110 pounds using my paper trimmer trying to mimic the sketch design.  

I cut a printed sentiment out from a Unity Stamp Co. freebie using my paper trimmer. I made it a fishtail banner using my scissors.  I then glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  My embossed panel is 4 x 5 1/4.  I pinched my leaves before gluing them to my squares, I like this look.  I love how this card came out it was so fun and I just love Fall leaves, so thank you to Inspired by for this fun challenge.  I hope I inspired you to participate!  Hugs!!

Uniquely Unity And A Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited about my card today it's using Unity Stamp Co. and my colors are inspired by the Color Hues Challenge #112 Cobalt and Peach.  Without further ado here is my card.

On my card today I'm using Uniquely Unity Membership for June 2025 called Enduring Connection.  I stamped this rubber stamp on a Manilla ranger tag #8 with Versafine Onyx ink.  Opps I cut the kitty this time but I did get the flowers.  I colored with Karin markers, Altenew size 0 Paint brush, and water.  I also used a Tombow Marker.  After I was done with watercoloring,  I had ink and water on my glass board so I ink smooshed that on my background and I also used my paint brush to color around my image.

When my tag was dry, I noticed my tag was too big for my A2 card so I cut it.  I then wanted the top part of the tag so I cut and glued it on and now it fit the way I wanted it.  I used a Mosaic Flower 6x6 Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs for my background(use VonFan10 to save).  I then used Pinkfresh Studio Peach Fuzz ink cube and a small blending brush on a white 4 x 51/4 cardstock panel.  I stamped a sentiment from the Enduring Connection stamp set with black ink on a strip of cardstock.  I inked it with the same peach fuzz ink as well as a white flower embellishment.

I found some vellum paper in my stash and I decided to use a Tim Holtz distresser cutter and I ripped the edges of my vellum and stenciled background with it. Finally it was time to put my card together.  I popped up my tag with foam tape and the flower had a foam square already in back of it and everything was glued to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I love how this card came out I had so much fun with this challenge.  I hope I inspired you.  Hugs.

Sympathy Cards For Woodblock Wednesday

 Hello I have some Sympathy Cards today using some woodblock stamps from my stash for the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge.

Here are my Woodblock Stamps for my project today.  A Hero Arts Sentiment Stamp and others from Garage Sales 

Here is the first card I made, I used Canson 140 pounds watercolor paper.  I first started stamping in Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink, Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink, Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink, and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink.  I would just stamp and spray with water directly on the stamp or I would spray my paper.  I had a lot of fun.  I did stamp the sentiment with Versafine Onyx ink in the center.

I cut my stamped background with a Lawn Fawn Large Mini Slimline Stackables die.  I added foam to the back layered it some Indigo colored cardstock and glued it to a card base.  I then embellished with some blue sequins.

Since I had some watercolor paper on my desk, I decided to make another card.  Stamping the same way except less water sprayed on my paper for a cleaner look.  I then cut this one out with a MFT Stamps rectangle die and layered it also on the same Indigo cardstock with foam tape and with sequins.  

And here is another Look at my cards.  I had so much fun playing with these woodblock stamps and now I have 2 cards added to my stash. Thank you for taking a look! And Thank you Amy for this fun Challenge.

Card Sketch For Inky Paws Challenge

 Hello I'm so happy to participate in the Inky Paws Challenge 237 over on the Newtons's Nook Designs Blog.  I love challenges they are a great way to motivate you to use your stash and possibly pick a sketch or color combo you wouldn't necessary choose.

I thought I would use Newton's Bubble Tea Stamp for this challenge.  My inspiration was this Bubble Tea pattern paper I had in my stash that's 12 x 12 and from Michaels from a old paper pad.  I stamped and heat embossed Newton on watercolor paper Canson 140 pound with versafine black onyx ink and clear embossing powder.  I chose to use water color pencils like Derwent Intense and Prismacolor Premiere and a water brush.  It was a lot of fun.  

I also cut out some gingham pattern paper and colored paper.  I cut Newton and drew a line to ground him on my paper with a gray water color pencil.  I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the same stamp set.

Everything was glued to a A2 card base.  I think it came out cute.  I haven't had a tea like this for many years and I wasn't that fond of it.  I feel like I need to re-try one.  Let me know which flavor is your favorite. 

I also will be entering my card in the Simon says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Cute Cuddly Featuring Newton's Nook Designs and the Simon Says Stamp IG Challenge Watercolor.

Christmas in July Linky Party Extra Christmas Card

 Hello everyone.  I have another card for the BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party Day 7.  Today is almost the last day and I may still be able to get another one finished.  I hope you were able to achieve some Holiday cards for the Linky Party.  Use hashtag #christmasinjuly2024byshclp

I used Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs for my card as well as a square die from New Sponsor Waffle Flower.  I had the Joyful Christmas Ride Digital Kit printed out for me already probably from the previous Linky Party or a previous sale.  It was printed on watercolor paper so I colored it in with a Altenew paint pan set.  I had fun watercoloring.  I then cut it out with a square die from Waffle Flower Nesting Additional Square Dies 

I found some pattern paper in my stash and glued everything to a A2 card base.  I tied a  twine bow and glued some sequins.  It was pretty easy and fun.  And another card to add to my stash.

I chose to use Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs, Unity Stamps Co, and A Colorful Life Designs for my Holiday Card.  

Angie Blom Digital Designs is having a Holiday Sale so I picked up a couple of kits that were on my wish list.  This digital kit that I used is called A Gift Just For You.  I love snowmen.  Angie Blom always has a sheet that you can print out and all stamps are perfectly sized with sentiments so I chose one of those to print.  I printed it on canson watercolor 140lb.  I colored with Zig Real Brush Markers, Arteza Markers, and Tombow markers.  I then cut out my snowman with a tag die from Sponsor Unity Stamps Co.

Next, I ink blended the Rocky Path Stencil 6x6 from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs with residue ink from my blue and purple brushes.  Use my code VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchases.  I cut out my background using a paper trimmer smaller than A2 size. About 4 x 5 1/4. I then glued my tag with craft foam onto my background and and then glued them to a A2 card base.  I added some liquid glue for the ground and a few drops on my tag and poured white glitter onto it for fun.  That finishes my card I hope you like it.  I had a lot of fun making it.

Big Love Valentine Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Valentine card to share today using a New Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Big Love.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

I love this stencil.  Big Love is perfect for all occasions not just for Valentine's Day.  I first started out with watercolor paper.  I painted my paper purple using a Altenew paint pan set.  I used a purple paint pan and I painted it a few layers until I liked the look.  I then placed the Big Love Stencil over my background and I painted with a Yellow, pink, blue, and purple watercolor paint pans.  I went over it with lots of layers.  Some paints bled through but I still liked my results.

When my background was dry I cut it to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 A2 size.  I stamped a sentiment from the Oodles Stamp set in black ink onto my panel as well as some hearts from the same stamp set.  Next, I glued my panel to a Pink A2 card base and glued some yellow clay embellishments to match.  I hope you like my card.  This is a great stencil to have in your stash and I hope you grab it.  

Thank you for stopping by!

I used the New Jagged Love Stencil.  It's really a pretty stencil.  I chose to use Black watercolor paper.  I painted through my stencil with Starry Colors paint from Gansai Tambi. I also ink blended a little Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink.

After my background was dry.  I cut it to be 4 x 5 1/4.  I then glued it to a matte gold paper that was A2 size.  I glued it to a white A2 card base.  I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment in gold embossing powder on black cardstock.  The sentiment is from a older STAMPtember Collab. with Pinkfresh Studio and Simon Says Stamp. It says "Some People Just Make Life Better" and that's you! I glued it with some foam tape to my card. Next,  I embellished with some Pinkfresh Studio Metallic Champagne pearls.  I hope you like my card.  I had so much fun making it.  A Colorful Life Designs now offers Card Bling, check it out here
