Dancing Branchlets

Hello again everyone!

Next up today is my entry for the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and  Sketches.

Despite the ridiculous heatwave that we have right now, I decided to create another autumnal card with Penny Black products. I’ve had the beautiful Dancing Branchlets die (51-247) for a while and although I’ve played with it a few times, I’ve never used it on a card. Until now!

For my very CAS take on the sketch, I masked off a rectangle and blended four distress oxide inks (Dusty Concord, Fired Brick, Crackling Campfire and Wild Honey). Then I cut the branchlets from some brown glitter card and adhered it to the card base. Finally I added a sentiment from the Autumn is Calling stamp set (30-863)

Repurposed Christmas in July Berry Card

Hello everyone!

One month ago, on the 10th Day of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022, I shared this card. At the time, I felt it was more of a card for autumn rather than for Christmas because of the colour combo that I was working with. As time went on, I knew that there was no way that I would send it as a Christmas card so I knew I had to repurpose it at some point and today was the day! All products are by Penny Black.

I had made the slimline card using the Slimline Medley die set (51-718) cut from white cardstock. I removed the sentiment and the Berries die cut (51-712) from the centre circle and added a sentiment from the Autumn is Calling stamp set (30-863). I then cut up the berry branch and popped it around the sentiment.

I feel much happier about this card now! I guess I should make a replacement Christmas in July card… maybe with the same supplies, but using different colours of course!!!

Golden pumpkins

Hello everyone!

First up today I’m playing along with this week’s Color Throwdown challenge which has a combo of brown, rust, gold and blue.

I’ve been wanting to ink up and colour the beautiful Autumn Vibes clings stamp by Penny Black (40-786) for a while now and I thought this week’s combo would be perfect for the stamp. I coloured the image with my Twinkling H2O paints, but didn’t like how my gold paint looked… So, I turned to some glitzy golden paper, stamped and cut out the pumpkins and did some paper piecing! the sentiment is from Penny Black’s Pumpkin Stack mini set (30-855).

Autumn Happiness Wreath

Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the challenge at the Four Seasons challenge using Penny Black products.

I absolutely love the new Golden cling stamp (40-782) and was so excited to ink it up. I haven’t been doing much stamping and colouring recently and I really enjoyed using my beloved Twinkling H2O paints again! Can you see the shimmer in the second photo? So difficult to photograph!

To complete my card, I added a sentiment from the Autumn is Calling set (30-863) and also softly sponged some distress ink to the background to create a layered effect without adding too many physical layers.

Fall Mason Jars

Hi again everyone!

Next up today I’m playing along with this week’s Color Throwdown challenge which has a fabulous  autumnal combo of orange, kraft and brown.

To start, I adhered a frame from Penny Black’s Framed die set (51-622) and then cut images from the wonderful Autumn Decor set (51-653) which I coloured with distress inks and distress oxides. I decided I wanted to have larger stem as a focal point so I added an image from the Garden Greens set (51-652).  Finally I added a sentiment from the Autumn is Calling set (30-863).

Autumnal Monterey Vine

Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Following the sketch, I blended a strip using Salvaged Patina distress ink, making sure I blended more heavily at the bottom of my card so that there would be a subtle ombre effect. I embossed a panel using the Spellbinders Falling Leaves embossing folder and then coloured the beautiful Poppystamps Monterey Vine die using regular distress inks and adhered it to my card. Finally I stamped a Hero Arts sentiment to complete my take.
