Every leaf is a flower

I have made this card for the current challenge at Clearly Besotted, you can either use the colour palette or make an autumn themed card.

I have used my Autumn Flowers stamp set to make this very clean and simple card - I think this is the first card I have every made that just involves stamping and distress inks.

My inspiration came from a card created by Nancy Ferb that I saw on Pinterest.  I used one of my acrylic blocks to stamp the base, the text section is one corner of a Hero Arts stamp, the leaves and sentiment are both from the Clearly Besotted Autumn Flowers stamp set.  I only used two Tim Holtz distress inks - Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy, I  inked the leaf stamp once, stamping the second leaf without re-inking.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Such fun ....

When I saw the challenge theme over at the CD Sunday Challenge blog this week I knew I had to make a card and I knew exactly what I wanted to make.  I have had the Nursery Rhymes Papercrafting CD for ages and have never used it, so it was time I made a card with it.

The theme for the challenge is 'To the Moon and Back', so I thought the nursery rhyme 'Hey Diddle Diddle' would be ideal:

I have layered the image onto a Spellbinders Deckled Rectangle and then onto green card stock, the gingham papers are from Pink Petticoat and I computer generated the sentiment and then stamped the blank LOTV sentiment tag over it before fussy cutting them.  The ribbon, buttons and twine are from my stash.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The CD Sunday Challenge - To the Moon and Back

Spooky Treats

I thought I would make something special for our Trick or Treat visitors this year, we don't get that many - most of the children in our area have grown up now.

Here are the first two, made using my Clearly Besotted Boo to You and Fright Night stamps.  I have the matching die for the Pumpkin but the set to go with the Ghost were sold out so I fussy cut my ghost.

Here is a close up of them both individually:

The papers are My Minds Eye and Dovecraft Back to Basics - I coloured the orange stripes with ProMarkers.  I added some black corrugated card, punched the small stars and added some 3D Crystal Lacquer to them.  The sentiments are from Pink Petticoat.

Inside there is a little pocket just the right size for a small packet of sweets.

The older I get ...

I noticed that the new challenge over at Totally Papercrafts was Bring Humour to your Creation and decided that I would make a card using one of my Bugaboo Gus images.

I coloured Gus with a combination of ProMarkers and FlexMarkers and used Distress inks to create the sky and grass.  The burgundy panel has been embossed with my Cuttlebug Diamonds in the Rough embossing folder and I framed the sentiment with a disc cut using two Spellbinders circle dies.
