happy Autumn…


You may look at this card and wonder…mask?
So I have a couple more photos to show you how it fits the code word.

I recently purchased this stencil from a clearance rack.
It is a wall stencil but all I saw was the tree.
So I prepped the stencil like so…

Applied it to an A2 size white card  and used my very old small stencil brushes with Distress inks rusty hinge, cracklin’ campfire, wild honey and gathered twigs.
Next I removed the stencil and stamped the sentiment, Hero Arts “Autumn Messages”, using Distress Oxide gathered twigs.

Next i might try the acorns and pinecone at the top of the stencil, after all Christmas is coming!







candy corn…


This plaid paper was just perfect for the sentiment!!!
The base card is white card stock with a layer of black card stock.
The next layer of plaid paper has the sentiment from Newton’s Nook Designs “Candy Corn Newton”.
On white card stock I stamped the Newton from the set and colored him in with Copic markers before cutting him out and foam taping him to the card front.


Autumn…


Dried flowers in a basket are a wonderful Autumn look!
The base card is white card stock with a layer of brown card stock.
The main piece is water color paper that I created a water color image with Art Impressions stamps and Tombow markers.
I stamped the sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh “Sentiment Strips : Fall” with Memento rich cocoa ink.


grow…


For this tic-tac-toe I chose the diagonal from lower left to upper right.
The base card is white card stock with a layer of dark brown card stock.
On water color paper I painted a tree.
Once dry I stamped the sentiment from Inkadinkadoo (2007) with StazOn timber brown ink and attached the piece to the card front.


from the lake…


The canoe caught my eye for this challenge and the lake!
The base card is white card stock.
Using My Favorite Things “Drifts & Hills” stencil with Distress inks tumbled glass, mermaid lagoon and gathered twigs I created the background.
Next I stamped with sentiment and images from Newton’s Nook Designs “Lake Advice”.
On more white card stock I stamped more images from the set and colored them with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.
These I trimmed out and glued to the card front.
