Grateful For You

Hello and Happy Monday everyone.  Hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed some crafty time.

I am back on the blog today with a new card, which is inspired by the up coming Thanksgiving holiday.  Even though its just one day it’s always good to take time to think about all we are grateful for, and to let those we care about know just how special and appreciated they are.

I started but cutting down some Neehna desert storm and solar white card stock for both the card bases and the background panels. The bases are standard A2 5 1/2  X 4 1/4 and the background panels were 5 1/4 x 4 1/8. I end up layering the embossing panel onto some gold card stock slightly bigger then the panel itself.

I prepared the card panels with an antistatic powder tool and then stamped the leaf  and swirl background with Versa-Mark sticky ink.  I heat set that with Rangers gold embossing powder and fine detailed white powder.

Once the heat embossing cooled I pulled out my distress oxide, in barn door, candied apple, peeled paint, lucky clover and wild honey as well as carved pumpkin and using my blending tool went over the embossing.  I love how these colours showed up on the desert storm card stock.  Heck I just love my distress oxides!

 I die cut the sentiment using the MFT Grateful for You sentiment and matching die set.  I ran it through over ten times so I would be able to layer a few of them together for added dimension.  I added some interest and shine to the sentiment by adding foil.  I accomplished this by using my two way Zig glue pen, allowing it to dry and then bring the foil to the sentiment to rub it on.


I die cut numerous leaves out of desert storm card stock using the My Favourite things stitched leaves dies.  Once I cut them all out I went in with more distress oxides to colour the leaves.  I did a few different versions to get to the colour combinations I liked.  Once I had what I liked I spritzed with water and then with gold perfect Perl mist.

I used some Press-n-Seal to help me adhere the leaves into place.  I created a subtle background to layer them onto using some antique linen and a Tim Holtz stencil.

 

I layered the panel on to some more coordinating glitter card stock that was slightly bigger, just to frame it.

This was a fun card to create and play with the different colour an layout combinations.

I hope you found some inspiration and enjoyed the process!

Have a wonderful week.

Happy Tuesday!  I wish I could say that autumn is in the air… and maybe it is where you are, but for me it’s just a bunch of wind & rain (Thank you Hurricane Florence!).  There are some leaves changing and falling thanks to all the wind though, and since autumn is my favorite season I’m embracing it and dreaming of pumpkin spice and all that!  Today’s card is another one using a mixed media panel I created, this time with some autumn colors added into the mix. (Here’s some more cards I made with the same starter panel technique: a pink funky one, a softer mint one & a summery blue/green one)

I inked the edges with some Distress Oxide because I love the contrast of Peacock Feathers & rust together.  I then sprinkled some Color Burst in Burnt Orange onto the panel and misted very lightly with water so it would retail the variety of colored flecks in the bottle.  I also added a few touches of Liquid Metals in Copper.  Yum.  I love how it picks up on the embossing paste especially!

I finished off my card with a Rust panel which I embossed a pretty sentiment onto (from the MFT pretty poppies set) and adhered a leaf which I die cut from book paper to tie in with those elements on the mixed media panel.  A bit of teal twine finishes off the panel- I mounted it with foam tape so it would lay flat on the textured panel.

I hope you like my card!  If you’re a lover of autumn leaves like me, be sure to check back on Sunday Sept. 23  for our next blog hop!  It should be pretty fabulous!

 

Inky hugs,

Tara

Hello all! Kia here with you today to share this Halloween card I did using the delightfully sweet stamp set from My Favorite Things called Frightfully Sweet.

These little critters make me laugh with their costumes and masks. I coloured the animals using Chameleon Markers. On the fox I treated the upper face fur as a mask, colouring it in purple marker and covering with Wink of Stella for some glitter. I added white gel pen for highlighting on the hats, cape and pumpkins.

For the background I sponged using distress oxide in ripe persimmon and wilted violet, then splattered with water and die cut the panel using My Favorite Things die called Inside and Out Diagonal Stitched Die set. I then did the smaller panel using the same die, however I also cut the frame out, sponging the frame in the wilted violet and the inside panel using carved pumpkin. I also splattered water droplets on the inside panel. I then taped the two pieces together, and added foam tape to attach it to the card. I arraged the critters on foam squares like a group of kids coming to the door to fetch candy, then stamped the sentiment using Memento black ink and finished with a few Nuvo Jewel Drops in Orange Marmalade.

I hope you enjoy this card and thank you for visiting today.
