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!

Thanks for stopping by, let me know what you think! Have a safe and wonderful Halloween weekend!

Fishing for a Cupcake

This little guy was fun! I made it for my son's classmate... I'm so digging having classmates to add to my recipients since the kid images are what I love!

I colored with copics and popped up the cupcake. Is it just me or does sponging the edges add that little something you need!



On another note, I've been using Iridescent Medium on projects for some sparkle and shine. So in response to many questions, take a look at Winsor & Newton to see what I'm talking about. I got mine at my local Michael's with a coupon and it will last me FOREVER since you only use a teeny bit. You can mix it in or paint it on top of different coloring mediums.

Stamps: Cupcake Cuties, Wonder and Joy

I love flowers...

I love flowers, may not be too good at keeping them alive, but I love them. So I find it strange that the plants I have the best luck with are African Violets... they are so picky, need lots of water but the leaves and flowers die if you touch them. Along comes the specific pot for them, where you put water in the bottom and an insert in it with the plant... easy peasy! My son, aka Pickle, and I each picked one out last year and they are blooming again now. He says his is "beautiful" and that mine isn't as pretty... I say if it has blooms and is thriving it is all good! It was so nice to look at them with the snow out the window behind them, but now the snow is melted and I can't wait for more flowers... just grown by someone else!

Along those lines here is the cute little flower girl again from the Wonder and Joy set. I played along with a few challenges... it makes it sooo much fun!

Bring on the Green!

This cutie is from the Wonder and Joy stamp set. I colored her in with copics. Went for an auburn hair and dark hair look, still trying to figure out hair coloring techniques though so don't laugh!

On the inside I continued the Greens and added a little shamrock from the Celtic Images set.


Edit--- The border punch is by Fiskars and is called A Tisket A Tasket then I cut off the outer ring of each. Thanks to all the wonderful comments!!!

Altered Frames

So nothing ventured nothing gained! I am joining the Etsy world and setting out to share my crafty things with others! Here is a preview of some wooden frames that I am going to be putting out there soon. I hope you like them!







Have a wonderful week! Let me know what you think!

Bring on Spring!

Winter has been rough this year, I am so tired of shoveling snow. Although I do love the fresh clean look of new fallen snow covering everything. So with spring in mind, I made this flower pot girl card. The Wonder and Joy set is so adorable. The expressions on their faces are great. Visit the Paper Wings Gallery to view more examples of them.

The next two cards I made ten of each for a fellow Angel Maria. She is doing a Thank You booth at a Health Fair where people can sign thank you cards to send overseas to soldiers.

Hope that you like them, let me know what you think and have a wonderful day!
