Pumpkin Patch

Happy Friday! It was my turn today to share something on the "Just For Fun - Rubberstamps" blog today, and you can see my creation below.

All stamps on today's card are by JFF. I had exactly this card in mind when I sent in my stamp selection. And I am really happy how it turned out :-)

I started out by inking the background using broken china and peeled paint distress inks. Next I stamped the fence using walnut stain ink, and then stamped the dried flower stalks using so saffron ink. The pumpkin image was stamped onto copic blending card and then colored with my copic markers. As you can see I fussy cut the image and then adhered it onto the background using dimensionals. Thought a little bit of twine would look cute so I tied a bow onto the sign.

Products used:

Pumpkin patch, dried flower stalks, old fence (all by JFF)

recollections 110 white card stock, SU brown card stock

copic blending card for pumpkin image

distress inks, SU ink, memento ink

ink applicator, twine

"Jungle" Bells Three - Giraffe

Did you see the adorable new "Jungle Bells" Christmas stamp designs by Crissy Armstrong yet? They were just released by Whimsy Stamps last week!

Today I am showing you a card made with Jungle Bells Three- Giraffe.

There are a few other cuties in the "Jungle Bells" line, and you can see them all HERE.

Nesting Christmas lights dies (also NEW from Whimsy)

papers from stash, copic blending card for image

The word "Christmas" was masked off from another sentiment set by Whimsy. I am sorry but I didn't write the name of the set down and I don't remember the name of the set.

Trick or Treat

Today's card was made using one of the cute stamps from Whiff of Joy's Fall Stamp Kit (Stamp kit No. 3). I don't think this stamp kit is available for purchase anymore (as it is only available through pre-order.) But do keep an eye open for the next stamp kit, the winter stamp kit. I am sure it is going to be just as cute as the the first 3 stamp kits of the year.

 

It has been along time since I used my Derwent coloursoft pencils, and also a long time since I colored on kraft card stock, so I decided to use them again on today's card. These pencils used to be my favorite coloring medium at some point, and I very much enjoyed  using them again!

The sentiment is part of the stamp kit. Designer paper from my stash, I believe it is by Basic Grey. Simply embellished with some twine.

Happy Friday!

Finally found some time  to share a card made with one of my favorite stamps from Just For Fun Rubberstamps. Can't believe I haven't used it yet before, but that's what happens when you get a huge amount of amazing new rubber stamps, you just don't know what to use first. 

A quick to create card, I simply stamped the floral silhoutte in black archival ink. Without re-inking I stamped the image twice again to create lighter images. 

Next I added some ink using a chickenwire stencil and distress inks. Edges were inked using darker shades of colors and finally I used the silhouette stamp around the edges too.

Matted onto black card stock and then added to my card base. 

Product list:

Queen Ann's Lace stamp, Enjoy Life sentiment (both by JFF rubberstamps)

yellow, orange and brick red distress inks

black archival ink

twine
