(You may have seen these cards on the Splitcoast Faux Brad Tutorial which debuted 10/13/10.) For both of my cards, I used the Autumn Swirl set 410. Isn’t it lovely? For the first card, I used a rainbow ink pad for the tree, greeting and 1/2″ faux brads. I used a Spellbinders rectangle to cut it out and a petite oval for the greeting. On the horizontal mustard layer, I stamped another of the swirl images using part of the Autumn Leaves Kpad. The sentiment was die cut using a petite oval nestie. The faux brads were made using a scrap of the vanilla which I first stamped w/ the swirl images using the Kpads. These faux brads are 1/2 inch. Finished card measures 5.5 x 4.25 (A2).
Supplies:
stamps: Sparkle N Sprinkle – Autumn Swril set 410
paper: vanilla, mustard, grape
ink: Kaleidacolor Creole Spice & Autumn Leaves
accessories: Spellbinders petite ovals & rectangles, 1/2 inch hole punch (faux brads)
For this second card, I used the same images and layout, but “painted” my tree with 3 different embossing powders. The swirly tree image was stamped w/ VM and I used the 3 embossing powders and a technique I call “painting w/ ep”. I used a rectangle nestie to cut it out. Two very narrow mats, 1 mustard, 1 rust (spritzed w/ bleach), back it.
On the horizontal mustard layer, I stamped another of the swirl images using part of the Autumn Leaves Kpad. The sentiment was die cut using a petite oval nestie.

This card was made for two challenges at Splitcoast: yesterday’s Featured Stamper (FS192) and today’s Technique Lover’s Challenge (TLC294). For the FS challenge, I chose Jenn’s CAS Trees. I kept the 3 repeated images and horizontal layout, but used different images and offset them slightly. I also changed the colors. For the TLC challenge, I used damp water color paper but instead of stamping with ink, I scribbled water color crayons directly onto the stamp, misted it, then stamped onto the w/c paper.
All images are Innovative Stamp Creations. After I colored, misted and stamped the sunflower block individual sunflower 3 times, I used a lt brown gel pen to add a little definition and cross hatching to the images. I used deckle scissors to cut out the blocks and attached them to a piece of turquoise card stock. I stamped the greeting in the lower right then used a white gel pen to highlight and a dk orange pen to shadow the letters. It’s attached to a white, 5.5 x 4.25 (A2) card. The sunflowers were added and a cut out butterfly. I made 3 faux brads and attached them to the lower right card front.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Supplies:
stamps: ISC – Nesting, Flowers Watercolor Effect
paper: water color, turquoise
ink: Ancient Page turquoise
accessories: Caran d’ache water color crayons, white & dk orange gel pens, deckle scissors, mist sprayer
Hello and welcome to our September Release Blog Hop! Don’t you just love these new images? We’re also excited about the exclusive new dies ODBD is carrying now!
If you came here from Connie’s Blog, you’re in the right place. If not, you may want to go to the ODBD Blog in order to start from the beginning.
I love this new Brocade Background and the Never Thirst set is wonderful and I combined them for my card. A rainbow ink pad was used to brayer a piece of white card stock and the brocade was stamped over it with black ink. The well was stamped and colored with markers. After die cutting it (using the out of the box Nesite technique), I left the die in place and sponged some ink inside. Silver highlights were added with a metallic pen. I cut out an extra bucket to attach on the base image for a little dimension. After stamping the Proverb, I rounded the left corners and wrapped the right edge over the top two layers. I made a 1/2 inch faux brad out of some leftover background and attached it to a 5/8 inch mustard circle.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop will be Chris’ Blog and I know she’ll have something gorgeous to share.
