Mornin' y'all, and happy Saturday! Our pre-Halloween snow is still sticking around in the backyard, though it was completely gone in the front yard by the time trick-or-treating started on Halloween night. Just goes to show how much colder it is in constant shade! But I'm all nice and toasty in my house and thinking about starting the kettle for my first cuppa tea today : )
But first, a couple of copper cards!
I have been having lots of fun playing with Copper Clay lately, love this color. For this card, I paired it with Old Olive and a little bit of Peach Pie on the bird--I did regular masking and reverse masking to sponge Peach Pie on the bird and Old Olive on the background. Then I used a marker to isolate just the single word from a greeting stamp (the whole thing says "Sending a bit of love your way") and added some retired Chocolate Chip ribbon.
Still having fun with this Atlantic Hearts sketch and the Sweet Days of Autumn DSP so I made another card:
I kinda wish the animals were all facing one direction on this paper, not gonna lie. That deer looks a little past tense if you know what I mean ; ) Still, it's super cute paper and this time I used a greeting from Latte Love and some leaves from Autumn to Remember. The ribbon is retired; I almost never buy ribbon anymore because I don't use it a whole lot, but lately I've been dipping into the retired ribbon stash. Soft Suede taffeta worked pretty well on this card I thought.
Here's the
Just Add Ink inspiration challenge that I started with:
I took the colors Old Olive, Copper Clay, and Peach Pie from the picture, plus the nature images and cozy feel and that's what I started with for my cards. And like I said, I'm just having too much fun with the
Atlantic Hearts sketch:
This time I tried to stay very close to the sketch instead of making it more CAS, so I've got lots of layers and patterns happening on both my cards. Here they are together:
I do love me some fall cards : ) That's all I've got for today, peeps. Have a great weekend! I'm planning to make a chai spice swirl bundt cake today and call it coffee cake so we can have it for breakfast tomorrow. Cheers!
