How's a little Fall for ya?

As promised yesterday, or very early this morning, I would post some Fall cards for you.  Well, here they are.

As you know Fall is my favorite time of year and I love all the colors on this card.  The image is a digi image from Meljen's Designs that I colored with my pencils, gamsol and accented with my markers and gel pens.  The base card is More Mustard that I layered with Really Rust, Creamy Caramel and some DP by Paper Pizzaz.  I stamped the leaves from an old Stampin' Up! set called Happy Fall Ya'll in Really Rust, Pumpkin Pie and Ruby Red inks and lightly colored them in with my pencils then I applied Versamark and UTEE to them.  I did this process about 3 times, let them cool then cracked them.  The image panel and the one behind it are cut out with my small scallop rectangle nesties and my large rectangle nestie.   

This next card just cracks me up!  Evey time I see this turkey he makes me laugh!  If I was a turkey I'd probably be doing the same thing he is, but with a huge sign too!  This is a very old stamp, one of my first that I purchased years ago.  He is from Stamps by Judith and yes, he is still available!  He is stamp number R-30 and the sentiment is H-111 just in case you'd like to know.  The base card is Chocolate Chip that I layered with Basic Black and more DP by Paper Pizzaz.  I stamped the image and colored it with pencils, gamsol and markers.  As I layered the card I added a length of black ribbon down to add a little to the card besides just paper.  The sentiment you can see is one stamp that I stamped and cut into two separate panels.  Actually for a lot of layers the card went pretty quickly.

Not too much yakety yack today - I'm sure that your happy for that Ü  But I will be back tomorrow with more for you.  Have a super great rest of your day!!

One Cool Cat

Well, I was not sure if I should be posting this or not today ~ but what the heck!

I wanted to make a birthday card for a special girl who's turning 12 this weekend and I wanted something kinda girly so I had to pull out this set. My DD got this set when she was about that age so I thought that it had to work. And yes, if you notice I did not use pencils. I'm so proud of me!

The set is called Cool Cat and I colored it with my SU markers directly on the rubber. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure that everything would work out just right. Of course I had to go to my LSS and buy some paper for the occasion too, I mean I could not use any paper that was just laying around you know. The paper is from Creative Imaginations, and I just loved the colors.

I started with a Gable Green card and I layered on the DP to the base. The next piece I sponged Pink Passion ink around it first then tied a length of white ribbon around it. I took the main image and lightly sponged Pink Passion in around that then layered it on to a piece of Pixie Pink cs then on to another piece of Gable Green cs. I then stamped the word birthday from the Happy Everything set in Pink Passion ink and punched it out with my tab punch and adhered it to the top right corner behind the image panel. I layered that whole panel on to the card with pop dots for some dimension.

I made some photo corners with the scraps and placed those on to the card. On top of the photo corners I glued a couple of buttons to give it some more umph. Once I finished I added some stickles for a bit of a punch ~ what young girl does not like glitter? Heck, what older girl does not like glitter!!

And now it's in the mail! I hope she likes it ~ I hope you all like it!!
