Tree of Many Colors

At a time when my yard is full of many many leaves waiting to be raked up, I am having fun with this tree set, Good Timber, instead of raking by putting different colors to it. Just a few things to say before getting to today’s card…. Check out the TAC specials Tab at the top to see new Stamp of The Month and Stamp-A-Palooza that brings double hostess benefits! (If you are viewing via email you have to go to my blog to see this tab).

I made this card for my hubby, he had his catechism for Mason’s Entered Apprentice last night and wanted a Thank You card for his instructor. This one has green and tan inks in the leaves with Burnt Umber on the trunk. I used blue prisma pencils and gamsol for the sky and sponged more burnt umber on the ground. The background is Brown CS, Willoughby PP and the tree grain was done by inking up a fiskar texture plate with Burnt Umber and running kraft CS through the Wizard. I tied my little tag on with twine.



On the inside I layered white on kraft, snipped the corners and sponged them with Burnt Umber.

TAC Flavor of Fall Blog Hop

Hi all! It’s time for another TAC blog hop, this one is for the flavor of fall! I made two cards to share. The first is using one of my new favorite sets, Damask backgrounder. I colored direct to stamp with yellow, orange and red Impress markers and then highlighted with a white gel pen. The Sentiment is from Wonder and Joy. I popped it up and covered the … with pearls and put the second part of the saying “is filled with blessings!” on the inside.



The next card uses the set Good Timber. I stamped it in Versa Mark and colored it with chalk. The background I smeared Versa Mark on and chalked. Then I decided it needed a bit more so I stamped another tree and popped it up! I tore the edges, inked and wet them to roll it up a bit.



I love the effect the chalking gave the tree. I love the change of leaves in the fall and the blending of yellow, orange and red just hit the spot. I looked out at the many, many leaves in my yard that need raked up and decided to add some color around it on the ground for the fallen leaves, just wish I could send my leaves away as easy as sending a card!



Now it is your turn! Take out those TAC stamps and show us your Flavor of Fall! Swing by the Savvy Projects Blog for more details and to add your link by Saturday evening! A few lucky winners will be getting some blog candy sent their way from Mischelle. Also how about hopping around and sharing some love!
