    Today’s Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast (IC409) is Barnes & Noble. Do they ever have a lot of pretty things. Who knew? I was inspired by this Decanter. Love all the falling leaves on it.

    The images I used are from  DRS Designs. Except for the card itself, it was made entirely of left over pieces and scraps.  I used a fine pattern woodgrain embossing folder on the rusty brown piece and on the long narrow white strip, I inked up the silhouette leaf with a few colors of ink then stamped them twice each time, without reinking. On the lighter versions, I stamped the open leaf on top with the clay ink. I also stamped a couple of extra leaves (open leaf stamped over the silhouette) and a fall leaf w/ acorn on another scrap then added a bit more color w/ Copics.

    I used the clay ink and splatter bg on top of the leaf strip for a little more interest. The greeting was stamped below directly on the 5.50 x 4.25 card front.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    There are some fab challenges on Splitcoast today! I’m combining 3 with this card…Free For All (F4A189) Autumn Textures..Mixability (MIX36) anything goes…and HYCCT1301B ..Courage & Strength, use orange or red.

    The image is from DRS Designs. The triple image block and greeting are actually all one stamp…I just separated the greeting and stamped it directly on the card front. The blocks were colored, cut out and layered on a black deckled long rectangle.

    The bottom looked really empty and I had this big layered leaf punch (it does a whole leaf, the stem, the inside and the border) so I punched a bunch of them, colored them w/ Copics then arranged them as you see w/ a few sequin accents. The card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

    Welcome to a new challenge for Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is Watercolor!  

    While I love to water color, I also love to make water color backgrounds…just free form swaths of color…then stamp on top of them. I love the random patterns of color I get and how they look with the images on top. A lot of times when I’m making water color backgrounds, I’ll make an extra, or two, and stash them away. This is one of those extras. I don’t even remember when I did it. It’s basically just large bands in different colors. After I decided where I wanted the image and stamped it, and added some highlights with a white gel pen.

    The frame was die cut with a large oval then I used a Japanese screw punch with the smallest bit I have to punch the holes all around the edge. The greeting was stamped underneath to finish my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

    Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out all of the Watercolored Wonders from the Serendipity Design Team!
