Congrats On Your New Home FUSION

November 10, 2017

I finally had a few minutes to myself and wanted to play along with the Fusion Card Challenge.


The sketch was just perfect for a card that I wanted to create for my SIL and BIL's new home.  

I took the liberty of turning the sketch on the side.  

My card is created on a white card base.  I used distress inks to create the background.  The new home sign is from Neat and Tangled stamps--Welcome Home.  I stamped and colored it with Copic Markers and used the matching dies to cut it out.  The leaves were stamped using the SugarPea Designs Lovely Leaves and the matching dies.  The pumpkins are from a retired Stampin' Up! set Fall Fest and the dies.  Wink of Stella was added for shine on the leaves and leaves.  

I hope this will make them smile as they are getting settled in their new home.  Just in time for Thanksgiving!

Have a fantastic weekend!  Thanks for stopping by!  

HUGS!

I had a few extra minutes so, I wanted to play along with the lovely ladies at Freshly Made Sketches. I love the sketch this week because I am all about "square" cards.  

A few weeks ago, I was driving through Alabama on the way back from the beach with girlfriends.  All along the way we saw beautiful fields of cotton.  I knew that I had to buy this stamp from Altenew.  It is called Cotton Comfort.  I stamped and then shaded the cotton with Copic Markers and cut is out using the matching dies.  Wink of Stella was added for shine.  I used a white card base, Early Expresso background and Crumb Cake for my top layer.  I stenciled the top portion using Memento Cocoa ink.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  A few sequins were added to complete my card.  I think this card will be comforting to the recipient.  

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

A huge THANK YOU to all the Veterans!  SO proud to be an American!

HUGS!

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year--PP369

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!


The lovely LeAnne is our hostess this week and she has a festive theme challenge for all of us!  Holiday Pines---oh so many ideas on this one!  Have fun and hope you will play along with us!

I bought this set a few years ago and never used it, so this was the perfect challenge to pull it out.  I stamped the frame using Rubbernecker's Free Hand Border in Memento ink. I stamped the Rubbernecker's Christmas Branch set in black and then re-stamped the pine boughs in green.  The Misti came in handy for re-stamping.  I then masked off the ornaments and stamped them in red and purple. The sentiment is stamped in black ink.  Glossy Accents were added to the ornament for shine.  A few sequins were added to complete my card.
