Fall foliage birthday

 Hello and happy Tuesday to you!

Here's a card that I made using a fun embossing

folder technique by Gina K.

I made one panel, and I loved how it came out,

so I made four more. This is the 4th panel

finally being used:

I didn't want to cover up this gorgeous panel, so

I triple die cut the happy birthday sentiment,

stacked and glued together, then went over the top

with glitter glue for some sparkle.

A simple sentiment finishes the inside:

We've been having a lovely stretch of cooler weather here

in North Carolina, so I think I'm going to go enjoy it!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #254 A is for Autumn

 

Hello and welcome!

Can you believe that it's already September!?

I swear that it was just June yesterday. 😦

Well, since it's getting to be that time of year,

this month's challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

is A for Autumn. What does that mean for you?

Cooler weather? Colorful leaves? Sweater weather?

Pumpkin Spice? Let's see it!

For me, as always, Autumn means Halloween,

so of course I created a Halloween card:

The background panel was created by smooshing mixed media paper

into water spritzed Distress Inks, drying, then selectively adding more

inks with some cellophane packaging smooshed into the inks.

This was repeated until I liked the look of it. I did also

blend more black soot ink around the edges.

I spritzed some water droplets onto the panel then

blotted with a paper towel for more blotches.

Mr. Bones was stamped, fussy cut, and then I blended

Vintage Photo DI around the edges.

Lastly, I cracked open a vial of Aged Black embossing powder and

used for the first time. Holy Wow! It looks amazing IRL!

A mix of silver, black and gold. It really looks like

aged metal! Of course, it was impossible for me

to photograph, as usual. LOL!

Here's the finished inside:

Since I had all the materials out, I created a second card:

I hope that you'll join in our Autumn challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.
