Anything Goes- Autumn Blessings

Hi- Shelly here for the Anything Goes challenge this week.  I inked up the new AF4622 Leaves set, and the Pumpkins & sentiment from the AF4821 Fall Owls set for my card.
  I used a Technique Junkies Technique called K-Flip.  I wanted to use fall colors- and used spots and just rolled the color onto the brayer one at a time until the brayer was loaded with the colors. I used: Butterscotch, Orange, Rustic and Peapod. I colored the images with Copic Sketch Markers.
  The Braided border is a Piccolo Accent and is embossed with Brownstone Enamel EP.

Products from the store :


The Braided Border Piccolo is found HERE

WE would love to have you join us for the challenge- any projects- Mixed Media, cards, ATC's, Scrapbook pages are allowed

We also have a Monthly challenge 10/15-11/14- Pop Up Box cards HERE

Have a Great Day!
Shelly


Happy Birthday



Good Morning Everyone- turns out that October is full of Birthdays in my family. So I sat down and made a pile of simple cards.

These are quite simple and easy ----

I had these blank cards (by the Paper Studio) - So I used these and added simple embellishments.

I used the following GlobeCraft and Piccolo products.
- Glastique (as the adhesive)
- Embossing Powder Adhesive
- Gilded Rose Gold Embossing Powder 
- ATC sized Frame from a Piccolo Set - (several sets have the frame, I simply bag all of these together as I punch out my shapes)

From SweetStamps I used
- Birthday Elegant Stamp
- Rustic Ink From the Earth Ink Spots Kit
- legless brads from the Chocolate and Marshmallow set 

- ombre toned embroidery floss

Easy. Quick. Beautiful.

Emboss the corners of the frame with the Gilded Rose Gold. Adhere floss to the back side of the frame and tightly and smoothly wrap the frame with the floss. (a dot of glastique is all you need to hold the floss in place. Glue frame to card to accent the area you like. Stamp with a sentiment. I added the Candi Legless Brads to further accent the corner.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Leaves

This is my card (Roxie) for the Anything Goes challenge this week.  The leaves are from a newly released SweetStamps, set, you can check out all the other new sets and products on the store site - right index.

I love the fall leaves that are multi colored and had to create one of my own using Copic markers for coloring.  The background panel is a stencil design from SweetStamps and the sponging was done with Ranger Distress Inks.

The decorative edges and circles were cut with Spellbinder dies and the straight 1/16" and 1/8" borders were cut with Perfect Layers mini from Perfect Paper Crafting.  The regular sized rulers will do the same job and you can find them here at SweetStamps.

Paper: AC Cardstock - off white textured, unknown deep purple textured, Basic Grey - orange designer cardstock, Beckett Expressions - Radiance for images
Copic colors: R59,56,85, BV08 on top of R59, YR18,16,15, G99,94,85,82, W4,3,0
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink - Aged Mahogany, Spiced Marmalade, Dried Marigold, Dusty Concord, Mowed Lawn

The Midway!


Happy Monday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a layout using the midway rides chipboard. My husband and daughter recently attended the State Fair of Texas and took some fabulous photos at the midway that I knew would be perfect with the midway chipboard. I created an 8×8" layout and layered the "rides" along the bottom. Deep Blue and Ruby Red Slippers EP were the perfect powders to coordinate with the red and blue neon of the midway! I hope you enjoy my layout!
