of projects today to show you! I received these "falling leaves" sentiment RAKs from Caryl and thought now, being the first day of fall, would be a good time to use them!
I actually made three of these! This is very loosely based on the CAS sketch at SCS for Monday; cardstock base is Dusty Durango and DP is Basic Grey's Recess. The leaves were made by inking the leaf from Best Wishes & More in a lighter color of your choice (these are More Mustard and Cameo Coral), then daubering the edges of the stamp itself with a darker color (Really Rust & Ruby Red). Huff, then stamp. Cut out the leaf, fold it in half along the center and run it through a crimper at an angle. That's what makes the fun texture! Here's the inside, using a sentiment from CHF's Scripture Essentials 1, also stamped on Recess:
Changing gears a bit, here is the swap that I made for my downline meeting:
This uses a Taken with Teal card base and the ornaments from Tree Trimmings stamped in Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry and Versamark embossed with Gold Glory EP. The larger ornament is cut out & popped up, and "tied" with gold cord. Sentiment is from Many Merry Messages. And here is a little notebook I made as a gift for our guest at our meeting:
It is covered with Night & Day DP which was sponged a little with Melon Mambo; the images from Define Your Life, DYL Alphabet and Pocket Silhouettes are stamped in Melon Mambo and Stazon Black. Accent was a Jumbo Grommet and MM Polka Dot ribbon flipped to the plain side. I also stamped some swirls from Baroque Motifs on the DP. I think she liked it!
Thanks for visiting today, and be sure to check back tomorrow for the Diva Challenge. See you then!
Great stuff today! Love the cards and the notebook. ~chris
