Happy Fall

                             
                                                             For this cute fall card I used      
a few cricut oak leaves and a cute digi scarecrow that I colored with pencils and mineral oil. I used a linen look paper for my background color and fussy cut the scarecrow to fit.  I also used some green stickles and glossy accents for a finishing touch.

Triple Time Stamping





                                                  
Card measurements....
2" x 3 1/4" .... mat 2 1/4" x 3 1/2"
3" x 4 1/4" .... mat 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
4" x 5 1/4" .... base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" fold base in half
An easy card to do if your good with measurements. It requires two co-ordinating ink colors plus black for your sentiment, two floral stamps, a sentiment stamp, card stock paper in white and brown, cording, pop dots for the middle piece and an embellishment.
You'll need to stack the white card stock with a little adhesive in the center of each piece while your stamping them so that your pieces don't shift. First stamp the sentiment, then the lighter background color and finally the darker flower. Separate the pieces and secure the mats with adhesive wrapping the middle card with cord and adding an embellishment. The middle card also gets pop dots to raise for interest. Finally secure the layers to the folded base and your completed. Hope you have fun doing pretty toile.

Crystal SNOWFLAKES               

I used the Darice Snowflake to emboss my card and then used crystal Sickles,glossy Accents and just a few rhinestones to embellish.

Youre Sweet

This card was inspired by my
 three beautiful grand-daughters. Ages 8, 6 & 5 yrs. I've given them each their own special name.
Sugar Plum, Apple Dumpling and Honey Bun.




I used this fun Digi cupcake and coloured it to compliment my paper. Then, because I love Glossy Accents, I highlighted the flowers. I accented a light brown linen base with a hounds tooth, polka dot and warm orange faux paper ribbon. Then just for fun I used sequin flowers secured with tiny brads.  I raised the digi with pop dots and I had a tag in yellow so I just added my warm orange paper and stamped in black the sentiment 
"Youre Sweet"

                                       Autumn

                                                            Nature's Second Spring

                                          

I decorated this Digi Autumn heart with fourteen crystal rhinestones and three larger in black on the side using the imaginisce heat tool.   Some faux stitching, a double mat to compliment the wreaths colors and Earthly Ores ink from Color Box on the edge of the ivory card stock.  I used black ink for my sentiment.
