CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF945

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch. Since we are into November (!) now, I thought a Thanksgiving card would be appropriate.

The card measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and fits nicely in a regular A2 envelope, so you don't have to pay extra postage for a square envelope.

The glimmer paper is popped up on dimensionals, and I tapped the Golden Glow Shimmer brush over the white die cut before adhering it on top.  

I used a Water Painter to make a watercolor wash on Fluid 100 watercolor paper for the leaves and acorns. After it dried, they were cut with the Sweet Words & Labels dies and glued in place. The greeting was stamped in Early Espresso and fussy cut before being popped up below the leaves.

Measurements

• Card base: Basic Beige 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", scored/folded at 4 1/4"
• First layer: Early Espresso Glimmer 3"x 3"
• Second layer: Basic White 2 11/16" x 2 11/16" die cut

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Happy Halloween!

Since today is the day for Jack-o-lanterns, witches, spooks, and goblins, today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Happy Halloween!

Since we retired and bought a farm in a very rural area, we don't get any kids Trick or Treating. I miss seeing the little ones and their adorable costumes. I also miss having Halloween candy in the house, but that's probably for the best. 😆

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF944

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the colors Secret Sea, Pool Party, and Timid Tiger. Those colors felt a bit floral-y to me and I would have used Stampin' Blends to color the image, but the Secret Sea Blends are so dark that the details in the leaves would have been lost.

 

So I pulled out my trusty ol' Blender pens, because I can control how light or dark the ink is by how much I pick up with the tip. I haven't used them in a long time and forgot how fun it is to color with them!

 

I chose an image from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, colored it and cut it out. It was popped up on the Secret Sea scalloped die cut, with a few Pearl Adhesive-Backed Faceted Dots added. The strip of Pool Party was embossed with the Rustic Check 3D embossing folder for added texture. Those faceted dots will be available in the Online Exclusives starting Nov. 3rd.
