TSOL: Happy Fall!

Hello! It feels like fall around here, so I thought it fitting to share this card today.  I used the thanks2fall set from The Stamps Of Life and the matching die for this card.  I splattered some Old Paper distress ink over the card with a wet paint brush and added some baker's twine at the top. I also inked the edges with the Old Paper distress ink.  I stamped the sentiment in chocolate ink three times. To get the variation in tone, I simply kept stamping without inking the stamp back up. 
A quick and easy card to celebrate my favorite season!

Heartfelt Creations: Raspberries and Pumpkins!

Hello!  I have a couple of Heartfelt Creations cards to share today. The first features beautiful raspberries on the vine. I love picking fresh raspberries in Michigan each summer. There is nothing better!  I love the deep reds with just a hint of pink.  Delicious!

This next card features a pumpkin on the vine.  I recently harvested a bunch of pumpkins from our garden.  I did not plant them, but they came up from last year.  I boiled them and canned them to use in my fall recipes.  I added a touch of glitter to the pumpkin and flower on this card.
You can find the instructions and supply lists for both of these cards below. Make sure to check out what the rest of the design team has been up to on the Heartfelt Creations blog.

Thanksgiving Pumpkins and a sketch....

H

Hello!  I made the card above for the sketch challenge over on SCS HERE.  I used a set from Kitchen Sink Stamps called Turkey Trot.  This set is so much fun to layer all of the images.  I love the look you get.  I decided to emboss the green panel with a Sizzix folder that mimics the vine swirls behind my pumpkins.  You can see the sketch below:

Hope you can play along with the sketch over on SCS!
