Autumn Leaves

Posted on September 24, 2016 10:29 PM by Julie 2 Comments

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper (FS503) challenge over on Splitcoast. A big congrats to Penni, the newest FS! I chose THIS to case because I really liked the colors. So I kept the colors, but used a water color background instead of designer paper & changed it from a birthday card to a fall card.
The w/c bg was made by lightly misting the w/c paper, sprinkling the Brushos, then misting again, a little more heavily. When dry, I die cut the whole panel w/ a large rectangle then die cut the Reverse Leaves die down the side. I lined this panel up on a die cut orange panel & put the leaves die back in place to cut through the orange panel. I wanted the leaf detail to show up when I put the orange leaves back in place. A stacked die cut Autumn was added & the other half of the greeting was stamped below it. One stamped maple leaf was fussy cut & 2 orange leaves added.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Fall Leaf Frame

Posted on September 10, 2016 3:22 PM by Julie Comment

I was out of town for Marg’s Featured Stamper (FS500) gallery last Sunday, so today I have a quick little fall card. THIS is the card I chose to case. I kept the colors (love them!) but I used different images, a slightly different layout (since her’s was for a sketch) & made mine a fall card.

This card was really quick..I already had the white stitched frame w/ the window cut out so I stamped the woodgrain onto the teal bg & attached it underneath the frame. The big leaf frame was die cut out of another piece of white. I carefully placed a not so sticky piece of scotch tape behind all the cut out pieces of the leaves, lifted them as one from the frame, then sponged on the yellows & oranges & put them back. The greeting flag was added along w/ a few sequins & done!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Autumn Pumpkins

Today’s Color Challenge (CC598) is perfect for a fall card…cajun orange, curry yellow, chocolate & garden green. The dessert is to make a fall themed project.

For my autumn/Thanksgiving themed card, I started w/ the cute little pumpkins. Yeah, I know just stamping & coloring would be the normal way to go. Sigh…but I remembered seeing some pumpkins w/ another image on top & that stuck in my head. Once stuck, it’s there until I try it. So just in case you’re interested, here’s my practice sheet. I practice on copy paper all the time & usually save these for masks later on.

I did some doodling, masking, etc, but finally decided on masking the bottom & stamping the solid leaf (on the mid right) w/ brown ink on top of the pumpkin. After coloring a few to see how they’d look, I noticed that since it was copy paper, some of the color bled out when I added the shadow underneath & I liked it! It kind of looked like a reflection so I also tried to recreate that on the “good” version (upper left, above the watermark). The brown stamped leaf on the top of the pumpkin didn’t work out so well, so I went over it w/ a white gel pen & added the dots.

For the background, I stamped the sunflowers in the upper corner & the leaves in the lower left. I had to do a little out of the box to keep them intact. And while I was at it, I also cut around the parts that went into the main image so I could lift them on top. Sigh…I know it would be simpler to just do them separately & glue on top. But apparently I like to choose the road less traveled. Or the one that needs a machete to get through, lol.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
