Autumn Colors



I am embarrassed to admit I don't know who makes the stamps I used for the tree and the leaves.  I picked it up a few years ago at my LSS's annual garage sale and it was unmarked!  But it is such a lovely little set!  I used various colors of ink to stamp the leaves and trees.  I then colored in the leaves using my Prismacolor Pencils.  I inked, sanded and distressed the image and the other pieces of my card.  I adhered my image to brown cardstock for matting and then the card base.  I used a strip of olive cardstock and layered it with three autumn colored fibers.  I stamped the sentiments from Paper Trey Ink (Wishing you a wonderful) and the Target Dollar Spot (Autumn)and added a red button with a little jute bow.  Finally I added Crystal Stickles to the leaves for added dimension!

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges:

You're a Star Card



So it's no secret that I love the Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!  I was literally giddy with excitement when I received my first two KK stamps last week.  I purchased Snow White because I thought she would be versatile and I just love her hair!  (I also got Zelda the Zombie because how freakin' cool is a Zombie stamp??!!)

I thought Snow White would work well for my first KK challenge.  Doesn't she look like she could be on the red carpet at a Hollywood premiere?!

I colored my image using my Copic Sketch Markers (V01/12/17, E000/00/11/53/55/57, and R20/22).  It's hard to see in the photo but I added some sparkle to her bow, her puffy sleeves and the lines of her dress with a clear spica pen.  I stamped the sentiment from hero arts at the bottom of my image.  I used Bazzill cardstock as my card base and I used my fiskars edge punch on a matching scrap.  I cut a star from gold paper and embossed the same gold paper with a texture fade embossing folder from Tim Holtz and then cut out a rectangle.  Using the sketch above I assembled the card, inking and distressing most of the pieces.  I used sequined ribbon to make a border for the image and I popped the star up using foam adhesive.
