RHSSC8 - Autumn Splendor

It's Sunday and that means it's time for another Red Hot Stamper's sketch challenge! Yesterday as I was driving to the bank I couldn't help but notice how all the fall colors were still putting on a beautiful show.  It gets to be a little less each day, but it was still so amazing to look at.  That's where I got my inspiration for today's card.  That and the fact that I used the embossing and sponging technique on one of the cards that I'll be doing for my next stamp a stack.  Guess I liked it so much I had to make another card with it. ;)  You really can't tell from the pictures, but I sprayed the leaves with shimmer paint...I love how it looks!  Probably not the greatest to add it if you're doing a masculine card though. lol






Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Fall Leaves

Today's card is one that I was going to use in last month's stamp a stack, but forgot that I needed a sympathy card and not another birthday one...that and the fact that I wasn't sure I wanted to cut out a bunch of maple leaves because I was so far behind getting ready.  One of the things I wanted the ladies to try their hands at was using the blender pens and this was an easy card to give it a try on.  I guess that will have to wait for another class.  Hmm...maybe in November.  



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Autumn Splendor Birthday

I must say it wasn't super sunny this morning when I took the dogs out, but it sure was nice to open the back door and be greeted by a bunch of beautiful morning glories!  


After taking a picture of what's right out my back door, I had to go check out the morning glories that grow up my apple tree.  A few years ago I started planting these flowers under my tree to see if they would grow up into it...well they did!  Now every year they self seed so I don't have to buy any plants.  This year I had so many growing I had to pull a lot out like they were a bunch of weeds!  Actually I took some of the larger plants and replanted them by my fence.  That's why I get the beautiful view every morning. :)  Thanks for letting me share a little bit of my garden with you...


Now on to today's card.  For starters, I did get this design from someone else and thought I had her bookmarked so I could acknowledge her.  Sorry, but I can't find it...and I have looked every where! :(  So...continuing on, this was for a stamp a stack from a couple of months ago, but I wanted to wait to post it until it was getting closer to fall...and it's coming faster than I'd like it to!  Anyway, I had fifteen people come to this stamp a stack so I needed two baskets and two cards so we wouldn't be making card all night!  One thing I pointed out with this card is that no two cards are alike, so don't worry if your card doesn't look exactly like mine.  Each card is unique. :)  


This is the first one...the sponging is nice and light...


...with words and a couple leaves on the inside.




Now the second card where the sponging is much darker.  I really liked the light one when I made it, but after I made the darker one I think I liked it a little better. ;)




Thanks for looking and have a great day!
