*********************TODAY’S POST ***********************

I was supposed to make this card and post it last week…but with my classes, and other obligations, I just couldn’t get it photographed and posted. So here it is a little late.  Colors we had to use were So Saffron (a light yellow),  More Mustard (a warm mustard color), and Riding Hood Red ( a warm red tone). I chose to use flowers of several kinds, plus the lacy border punch.

Here’s a few more close ups.

Supplies: Simply Soft Hostess  & Circle Circus ss; Cardstock: More mustard, ridinghood red, whisper white, Soft Suede; Inks: So Saffron, More Mustard, Ridinghood Red;

Accessories: DSP, Paper daisies, Triple Blossom punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Lacy border punch, sponges, Polka dot mustard ribbon, round fired rhinestones, Vanilla shimmer smooch spray ,  EKSuccess border punch. (a new one someone loaned me to try out:)

Technique: Used some distressing and sponging, spritzing.. to jazz it up a bit. Triple bow using Magic bow maker from Lee Conrey.

This week on Creative-Sketches there is a COLOR challenge using Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, and Basic Black.

I love these colors… they remind me of FALL!! So I made some fall leaves!! We used to have some kind of grasses in the woods where I used to live back east that had little curly q things on the ends of them.. so I added a few of them too. Here’s my card… all leafy and spritzed up!

I’ve included some other views of my card showing a close up of the leaves (stamped in soft suede and cajun craze), the butterfly (all dazzled up with our new dazzling details), and I took some black cardstock to mat and ground the picture. I also added some ruffled ribbon (Organdy heated and shriveled up then scrunched up with some sticky tape) to add a finishing touch. I had to spray on some smooch.. used the vanilla this time to add a little bling. The DSP is from the Well Worn set, since it has all the colors we needed for this card.

Supplies used: French Foliage, Creative Elements stamp sets; Well Worn DSP, Carstocks: Basic Black, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake; Inks : Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede; Accessories: Vanilla smooch spray, dazzling details, black organdy ribbon (ret);

Techniques: Fussy cutting, stamping, spritzing, paper rolling/distressing, ruffled ribbon

Take time to stamp some today… give yourself a break and have some fun!!
