5th Anniversary Card

Today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary, and I made this card for my dh. I used the challenge at Splitcoaststampers to use embellishments we are thankful for - F4A90. Well, I don't know if everyone would consider embossing folders embellishments, but they are one of my favorite things to use on cards. They just add so much texture and interest. I did the embossing and used chalks and copics for coloring. tfl

Autumn Thanks TLC350

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Technique Lovers Challenge - TLC 350 - No Stamps Allowed. I used my new embossing folder by Darice...LOVE this ef! Embossed it onto Core'dinations cs and sanded, then colored the leaves with watercolor markers. Printed the thank you and did some more dry embossing and chalking. Oh, and the leaf is from a beautiful weeping birch we have out front. tfl

Autumn Thanks

This card was inspired by the above picture from Week 1 inspiration challenge from http://justinspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com/.

I've also drawn inspiration from
Challenge #22 - Embossing and/or 3 or More Layers at http://heartsonginspirations.blogspot.com/. I heat embossed my image and then used watercolor crayons and an aquapainter on them. Stamped the THANKS on the side, added a cute little glittery leaf button with some raffia, and Voila! tfl

Priscillastyles' Flash the Cat Sugar Crash

I just had to make this card with a new digi stamp from priscillastyles-store! His name is Flash, and he is just too funny! I think he ate too many chocolate mice from his Halloween Trick or Treating. hehe
Priscilla has made another of these with an uncolored mask, and also one

that is not for Halloween. And there is even an "Angel Not" cat. She's also got lots of other new digis on her site, so check it out. I made the sentiment on my computer.

The color scheme is from Papercrafts Connection - Color Inspiration Challenge#9.

Autumn Thank You FTL158 C4C105

This card was inspired by this week's challenge - C4C105 - at http://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/, to create a card or project with a pumpkin on it. The sketch is this week's sketch -FTL158 - at http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/. I stamped the little leaf stamp from Inkadinkadoo all over my crumb cake cs with gold ink, heat embossed with detail gold embossing powder, and colored in with chalks and a q-tip. Did pumpkin the same way on some dp. The dp behind the pumpkin panel is recycled wallpaper sample. Hope you like it. tfl
