Dyed Handmade Flower and Ribbon

 Since today is such a rainy cool day, I thought I would brighten things up with this card.  I used Papertrey Ink new stamp set, stamped on avocado cardstock with white ink and then used the Cuttlebug to die cut the leaves.  The sentiment is stamped in brown ink and is astamp from Papertrey Ink.  I used spun sugar distress ink to color the ribbon and all of the flower petals.  The flower was cut out using Sizzix tattered flowers die with burlap, crinolinie, and net.  I used a fabric brad to hold the flower together.  Back to my creative room to make some cards for SparkleNSprinkle!

Vellum Daisy

My friend and I were playing around one day the other week and decided to try using vellum for some flowers. She had her set of daisies and the matching dies from Heartfelt Creations so I started stamping in white ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder.  I used pink and light green vellum.  Sonnie did the labor part by using the Grand Calibur from Spellbinderspaperarts and die cutting all of the flowers and leaves.  We then shared what we had and later that n ight I made this cute card.  I colored the vellum flowers with a marker to get a deeper pink. The background is embossed using the Cuttlebug and the larger dot folder.  I'm not sure what company makes the sentiment -- have had it for ages!  I also used Tim Holtz Sizzix die for the flourish.  Enjoy.

In Style

I finally got my hands on the Sizzix dress form and couldn't wait to use it!  All paper is from Stampin Up with shads of Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake.  The sentiment is from a real old Stampin Up set.  I used glossy accents on the cardstock button.  I can see many more cards made with this dress form.  Enjoy!

Fall pumpkins

This image turned into a wall hanging which I  just love!  I had some really sturdy cardboard and covered it with pattern paper from Papertrey Ink.  I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils blended with Gamsol and also Copic Markers.  I stamped the pumkins the second time on orange cardstock and used my pumpkin die cuts to cut them out.   I highlighted these with Prismacolor pencils and used pop dots to give them dimension.  I then used my Grand Calibur machine from Spellbinders to die cut the image.  I layered the image onto chocolate and orage cardstock.  I tied some chocolate and white twinery into a bow for an added embellishment.  I also used silk chocolate ribbon to make the hanger.  The image is from Heartfelt Creations.

Sweet Angels

My sweet friend, Amy, gave me this pic of her two girls to play with.  I used supplies from Melissa Frances.  The cardstock is pink and chocolate from SU and the flower is from SU.  The lace is from my stash.  The picture of the girls was taken on the day their parents were married.  Congratulations Amy and John!  You have two sweet angels!

When I think of autumn, I always think of pumpkins, so I decided to make a card with some pumpkin stamps from SNS http://sparklensprinkle.com/o/index.php?cPath=82_93. Aren't these pumpkins just darling?  They can be used in so many ways!  Plus the autumn stamps are on sale!!  Yay!!  I stamped the pumpkins on orange cardstock and shaded them with Prismacolor pencils.  I then cut them out.  The background is done with burlap material and covered with dark chocolate cardstock which I die cut with my Grand Calibur die cutting machine.  The sentiment is also from SNS and can be found at http://sparklensprinkle.com/o/index.php?cPath=82_84.  You can read a more detailed description of my card at  http://sparklensprinkle.com/g/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Thanksgiving&id=adl
