Oh Nuts! - The Greetery

 Hello!  I hope you are doing well today.   It's time again for another Inspired By Challenge!   This week's inspiration is Acorns - there is an inspiration photo and a sketch, you can use one or both!   I used some of my new The Greetery August release products that I just bought.  I used the Jumbo Curiosity: Acorns Die, Fall Foodie stamp set and the Herringbone Parquet die. 

I added a previously released die called Big Branches: Ruscus die.  I used two die cuts and then trimmed one and popped it up in various places to surround the acorns.   I love the pop of orange against the dark browns!  I splattered the leaves with some dark ink.  

To finish off the card, I added some gold pearls from Pink Fresh.  I hope that you get an opportunity to play along!  Check out the blog post here! 

I used Distress Oxide inks to add details to my die cuts in rich browns, oranges and greens.   To add details to the panel, I used some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink.  I embossed the sentiments with gold embossing powder onto some dark brown cardstock.     Thanks for stopping by! 

Stamptember - Hello Pumpkin

I finally got to ink up this stamp set that I got back in Simon Says Stamptember.    I loved this collaboration set from Neat and Tangled.   Fall is almost over and I had not inked it up!    I am joining in the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Furry Friends.  

I stamped and colored my images with Copic Markers.   I think I stamped every image in the set and almost used every single one of them for the card :-)

I created a scene using some Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Fall paper and inked around the edges.   I die cut a frame using the My Favorite Things Single Stitched Line Oval frames using SU Early Espresso cardstock.    I then cut another oval frame from Primitive White card stock and some Kraft. I inked with Tumbled Glass on the Primitive white and inked the edges of the Kraft and stamped my sentiment.   

I then added my images flat to the card and added some clear Pico Embellisher to the pumpkin and apple.   

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Case this Sketch - Reverse Confetti Nuts About You

I decided to play along this week with the Case This Sketch challenge.   I used the new Reverse Confetti Nuts About You stamp set and the sketch to make a fall card.   I stamped my images on Kraft cardstock and colored with my Copic markers.    I cut them out with the matching Confetti Cuts.   I also stamped a trimmed out piece of Stone cardstock and stamped with two of the smaller images from the stamp set in Stone ink.   

I then trimmed down several of the patterned papers from the new 6x6 paper pad, Every Little Bit, and started building my card based upon this weeks sketch.   I trimmed a piece of Dark Roast cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment from Nuts About You in Liquid Platinum embossing powder.  

To finish it off, I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the leaves.

Lawnscaping Challenge Geometric - Jump for Joy

 This weeks challenge is Geometric shapes.   I incorporated rectangle frame for the card to tie to the challenge.   The panel was sponged with Distress inks and then splattered with water and distress ink markers.   The images were colored with Copic markers and popped up on the card with dimensional tape.
