Here's my inspired card...Happy Halloween!



This may be the last time (until next Fall) I use this adorable stamp set, Twick or Tweet, from the Holiday Mini. How stinkin' cute is this skeleton and mutt pair? I stamped the image with Black Stazon on Whisper White cardstock and colored the doggie in with Pumpkin Pie. I mounted the image on a larger piece of Pumpkin Pie and then adhered it over a strip of Night & Day DSP (also from the Holiday Mini) with a hint of a Basic Black scalloped edge. The card base is also Pumpkin Pie and wrapped around with Basic Black 5/8" Grosgrain tied into a centered square knot.

Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 6

I have been decorating the house a little for fall and have been looking online for some ideas. As I was searching, I found this beautiful autumn centerpiece called Silk Cone Hydrangea Centerpiece at Silkflowers.com. I love the rich tones in this earthy bouquet. The colors in the centerpiece look like Stampin' Up!'s Dusty Durango, Ruby Red, Mellow Moss & So Saffron. These colors will work wonderfully with a little Very Vanilla, don't you think? I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

I was inspired by the centerpiece to use my Autumn Splendor stamp set once again...I'm loving this set and am using it a TON! My card base is Dusty Durango layered with Mellow Moss and the Very Vanilla adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. I used the two-step stamping technique with the leaves using Ruby Red, Mellow Moss and So Saffron ink. The main leaf panel was wrapped with a Very Vanilla 5/8" Grosgrain square knot. Finally, I used one of the greetings from the Grateful Greetings stamp set inked up with Dusty Durango ink.

Autumn Splendor Meadows

My friend, Katie from KB Stamps, invited me to participate in a Holiday Mini Swap. Thanks, Katie! Head on over to see Katie...she's got some BLOG CANDY up for grabs:) My swap card encorporates two new products from the Holiday Mini, the Autumn Splendor stamp set and the Autumn Meadows Designer Series Paper. I also used a new technique that I recently learned called Rainbow Embossing from the Workshop Wow DVD that I got at Convention. Basically, you just use more than one color of embossing powder...I used Black and Gold Embossing Powder.

Paper: Taken With Teal, Really Rust, Whisper White CS, Autumn Meadows DSP
Ink: Versamark, Chocolate Chip
