Happy Wednesday! I am back today with a couple more fall themed cards for
Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday challenge. There are some gorgeous entries already but still some time to join in if you haven't already, or maybe you'd like to share a second or third card?
If you would like to link up, simply scroll down - the linky tool is at the end of this post.
As a reminder this month's theme is "
Signs of Autumn". This can be anything fall related, fall flowers, fall colors, fall activities etc.
I played some more with the September
Hero Arts "My Monthly Hero" stamp kit, and the cards are perfect for this challenge. If you would like to see a couple other cards I made witht this kit, simply
click here.
I started out by masking the edges of my white card stock (I used
Xpress It Blending Card) with painters tape, then inked up the square using distress inks. Next I stamped the sentiment "Life is full of Beauty" which is part of the
Hero Arts MMH September Kit randomly onto the square, then removed the masking tape.
The flower was also stamped on Xpress it card using
Memento Tuxedo ink, then colored with copic markers. This stamp kit comes with matching dies and I used it to cut out the flower. It was then attached to the card with
pop up glue dots. A very CAS card, but I did add some paper piercing along the edges of the inked square for an extra detail. Framed with some Stampin Up card stock (sorry I don't remember the color name) to finish it off.
Challenges Card 1:
To make the card above, I heat embossed the branch using
Versamark Ink and
gold embossing powder on black card stock. The single leaves were also embossed and the matching leaf die from the
Hero Arts Kit was used to cut them out. I thought I would dig out my Pearl Ex powders for a change (haven't used them in ages!!) and simply added color to the leaves with a barely wet paint brush. I added a strip of matte gold paper from my stash to the side and stamped the sentiment on a white strip of paper. The single leaves were added with
pop up dots.
Challenges Card 2:
