SUOC223 - FALL/AUTUMN

I think I've mentioned that I love this time of year.  I also love it as a theme for crafting and love having the chance to make autumn cards.  Our theme this week at SU Only Challenge is Fall/Autumn.  

I used a piece of DSP and embossed it with the Basket embossing folder.  Now the eagle-eyed among you will notice my weave is back to front so that's something I'll have to make sure I'm aware of next time.  I think it still works though!  I used a label punch to punch out the three labels and used some images from Painted Seasons - the fir cone and the leaf - and Nature's Perfection - the little flower int he middle.  The Thank You sentiment came from Background Bits and I used a label framelit to cut it out.

I edged the labels with some Soft Suede lightly sponged.  I used some retired Washi Tape and then layered some Old Olive twine and tied an extra bow.  There is a touch of Wink of Stella on the images just to give them a bit of sparkle.


 

HAND STAMPED SENTIMENTS #316

We have a great image challenge for you this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #316.

I chose to do a 'W' card which I had seen being done on You Tube by various SU Demos.  I don't often use purples so I was inspired by the slight purple of the flower in the image.  I used some  of the Tranquil Textures DSP, together with some Perfect Plum cardstock.  The flowers on the front are from the retired set Painted Seasons - inked in Perfect Plum and a very old SU ink called Ballet Blue.  These inks are quite old so it really helps to have a stamp positioner to be able to over stamp them more than once - I have a Tim Holtz one.

I decorated the inside with the dots from Painted Seasons in Perfect Plum.  The W Fold was also layered with the DSP - the sentiment is from another retired set. Apple of My Eye.  I added some of the Whisper White Flax ribbon to tie the card shut.
