Autumn Days

There is a crispness in the air, leaves are turning color and falling to the ground, and it's time for Terrific Tuesday at One Crazy Stamper.  The challenge this month is to make a project with clear/acetate elements.

 

 

 

This is High Hopes "Hay Ride", which I colored with Copics, fussy cut and then mounted on a raised shaker box.  The shaker box is filled with glitter and beads to represent the changing autumn colors.  Both the frame and the background dp is from Simple Stories Harvest Lane collection pack.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Autumn Letter Seals, which I also purchased at One Crazy Stamper.

 

Hop on over to the challenge blog and take a peek at all of the wonderful inspiration the design team brings to you every day, and while you are there check out the details of the current Design team call!

Something different for me today - a clean and simple card, on kraft paper, and colored with Copics.  Simply fun to make and I think quite a cute card.

 

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends, family and followers!!!

Fairytale Challenges - #51 - 1/3 Cards

BOO to You

 I seem to have totally skipped the Halloween season, and gone straight to Christmas cards, so it's time to step back to one of my favorite times of year!

 

This adorable little puppy is "Mummy Dog" from Whimsy Stamps artist Meljen, and is available to purchase at One Crazy Stamper.  I've colored the image with Copics, punched one edge of the cropped image with a Martha Stewart border punch, matted, and then layered the finished dog on cheesecloth and dp from Carta Bella All Hallows Eve collection. The sentiment is from Recollections Halloween Sayings stamp set.

Happy Boo to You All!!!!

The Kid in all of Us

I'm still working on the kickin' the last of those nasty airline germs, so here's another card that I did prior to getting sick.

 

 

This is "Present Bear" from Nellie Snellen available at One Crazy Stamper.  I have colored the image with Copics, cut the image out with a Spellbinders Eyelets Circles die, embossed and inked the die shape, and popped up the result on dp from My Mind's Eye Merry paper pad.  The lace is from my favorite local fabric store, who carries an awesome stock of lace and ribbon ( so much stock that I can only go once or twice a year, cause it's hard to stop shopping ).

The Paper Shelter Challenge #84

Time for Team B to host the challenge at The Paper Shelter and this week we would love to see your project with the theme of "DISTRESSING".

 

 

I wanted to try a little bit of layering along with the distressing that I included on this card, so I printed two of the same digital papers from The Paper Shelter, and then fussy cut certain images to add dimension.  The paper is part of the "Arizona Fantasy" digital paper pack available here.  The card celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness month.  To add more texture and dimension I've crumbled the paper then inked and sanded it, and added pearl swirls for the final touch.

 

 
The winner of this challenge will receive a $30 Voucher for The Paper Shelter if their project includes a TPS image, or if you use another image you will still win 3 images of your choice.

October has arrived and with it the beautiful colors of the changing leaves.  This month at One Crazy Stamper the challenge theme is Acetate/Clear card or elements, so to celebrate the fall season I've created this all clear card.
