Leaves of a Tree on page 43(right at the back) of the Holiday Mini, so much detail.
Simple 4 x 4 cards,
done in Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Peach Parfait and Pear Pizzazz show this tree is beautiful in any colour. Only available until January 3 this a la carte stamp for $11.95 is one you will definitely want to get.
And don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack, still some fabulous deals on punches and other goodies.
Happy Stamping,
Autumn is really here and winter, is knocking at the door! I am not a winter person, but I love the fact that spring follows winter and then summer! Now our Spice Cake DSP just may make new like the fall colours, Soft Suede, More Mustard, River Rock because they added some lively colours to the mix, Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party. Those colours have life!
The Leaves of a Tree stamp from the Holiday Mini is such a gorgeous stamp, so much detail with lots of different types of leaves on the one tree. As you know a gardener I am not, but I do recognize a maple leaf, an Oak leaf in the tree and that is the limit of my leaf knowledge.
Happy Stamping,
Glad it is Friday and looking forward to a relaxing weekend after a busy week. To start the relaxation how about a calming card
Leaves of a Tree again, that beautiful A la Carte stamp in the Holiday Mini but this time I have stamped it with Versamark and Gold embossed it. So pretty. The Designer Series paper is Mocha Morning Speciality and it uses Metallic inks in the pattern so it looks so pretty with the gold embossing. And then to add some punch I used Early Expresso to mat the image and the Designer Series paper. Simple but elegant.
Happy Stamping,
comfort zone and it is amazing what can happen! My challenge to myself was to make a Fall card, now those I have difficulty with as I just have trouble working with those "fallish" colours. I don't mind early fall, you know the days are still warm and sunny but once the leaves start to fall with vengence I am sad. So get out my Color Coach, a fabulous tool that does make your life easier and what could be a more fall colour than More Mustard.
Hmmm, Cajun Craze (that goes with the Well Worn pack) and Night of Navy, now that is a colour I love.
My stamp of choice for the card was Leaves of a Tree, now that is definitely a fall stamp! I first inked it up with More Mustard and then using the thumping technique (take your marker and using the brush tip thump around the stamp to add extra pops of colour) with Old Olive and Cajun Craze and then I used my Early Expresso marker to colour in the trunk. A little huff and onto a 3 x 3 square of Very Vanilla
And the completed card
Iused Autumn Splendor stamp set for the envelope and inside the card using the Rock N' Roll techique
Moral of the story: Fall cards don't have to be dark and dismal!
Happy Stamping,
