One More Fall

I wanted to use some digital stamps from my friend, Bonnie at Pretties by Bonnie.  She has some great Fall ones so, of course, I decided to stay with my current theme.  I promise I will move on to something else soon.

I printed the digital pumpkin on cream cardstock and colored with Tombow markers.  I tore out the image and inked the edges with Distress Ink.  I layered this on some green decorative paper that I embossed with a leaf background and used the direct to paper technique using a green Adirondack ink pad.  Then I scrunched up the paper, spread it out, and rubbed on some dark brown Adirondack ink. 

This was layered onto a brown cardstock that was embossed with a Fall Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sanded to bring out the yellow core color.  This was layered on green cardstock, then layered onto a rust base.



I added two bling Fall leaves that I picked up on clearance at Michael's, along with a few jewels on the pumpkin's vine. I finished this off with a homemade "prima" rose that I inked up with various distress inks in Fall colors.

Thank you, Bonnie, for the great digital image that inspired this card.

Challenges I am entering:
The Cuttlebug Spot - Fall Theme
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC90 - Anything goes but buttons and bows.

JustRite Challenge

This is my very first challenge and my first real posting to my new blog.  I apologize if it doesn't look exactly like it should.  I am very much in the learning process here.  To create this card I used JustRite stamps for the message in the center and the decorative round cream border.  The message in the center is from their Hope Set, which is actually squares, but I punched it out using a circle punch.  I layered it on red and black layers cut out with Nestabilities.  The decorative circle border is from JustRites Decorative Borders set and was also cut out with a round Nestability.  I then layered all of this on top of  black, cut out with my brand new Beaded Circles Nestability.  For the butterfly border on the top and the decorative scalloped border on the bottom I used Martha Stewart border punches.  The red background was embossed with a cuttlebug folder.  I couldn't just do one challenge with this card.  My friend, Bonnie, talked me into actually creating a card that could go into 5 different challenges.  To meet these challenges I added two black buttons, a handmade mini Prima flower, and a small butterfly on the bow (also cut out with a Spellbinder Die).  The butterfly is actually double layered but I couldn't get it to show in the picture.  Thanks a lot Bonnie. (I will add her link, along with some of my other favorites, as soon as I figure out how.)  I decided my card needed a little sparkle so I added a bit of red glitter.

For the Just Rite Challenge I used the colors red, black, and cream with a handmade flower and butterfly and their stamps, of course.
