Roses in Fall?

No silly, Roses in Winter.

This is one of my all time favorite set's that SU! has ever made. I love the versatility of this set. And yes, pink and brown being my favorite colors it was perfect for this card.
I used my watercolor crayons and watercolor paper for this card. The base card is Chocolate Chip and I layered it with Pink Pirouette. First I used my CB and border folders from Just my Type and added the squiggle at the far right of the card. I then tore the Pink Pirouette and watercolor papers so you could see the embossed border. I colored the stamps themselves with my crayons and spritzed them with water then stamped the image onto the paper. Once that was done I stamped the sentiment with Rose Red ink at the lower right of the paper. I also saved the torn off pink piece to add to the inside with a white piece of cs.

Here is an up close of the image. I think that it is really delicate looking.

I made another "wallet box" to package these up with. The envelopes are also stamped using the same stamps and technique so they match.

I thought that these were nice all boxed up together. They'd make a nice gift.

Here's to hoping that you've got some inspiration out of me today. I'd love to see what you'd come up with ~ post a link and I'll go take a peek!

Have a great evening!!! I'll see you tomorrow!

It's back to school Monday!

Woo-Hoo!!
Danielle is off to school. Her last school year in high school. Of course yesterday I teased her most of the day, and she was saying "Mommmm" me all day long! And when she was off this morning I said "woo-hoo" to her again ~ and I think she was tired of it because she did not respond... No she knows how I felt the past few months with the "I'm bored", but she loves school anyway. She says no, but she's such a social butterfly that I'm sure by the end of the day she'll be glad she's back. Why else would she want to go to school to be a teacher??

Ok ~ enough. And how was your weekend? Great I hope! It's been super hot here. I told hubby that I'm playing turtle and he looked at me like I'm crazy. I told him "yes, turtle. That's where I don't stick my head outdoors til it's no longer hot!" Yes, I'm crazy!!

So, while playing "turtle" I created this. I wanted a simple card to make and this came to mind. I want to get the new SU! medallion stamp, but I had to order some other "essentials" first. And I thought of my Fancy Pants Pollen Dust stamp set that I have. It is not the medallion stamp, but it will have to do. And I am sorry for the picture - I tried to fix it, but it was just too bright.

I stamped the stamp from my Fancy Pants set with So Saffron ink on to a piece of So Saffron cs. I then added a length of sheer brown ribbon to the panel and attached it to a Creamy Caramel card base. I punched out the Chocolate Chip piece with my nesties scallop oval and stamped the frame and sentiment with Versamark ink and then attached it to the card. The inside I just layered a piece of Chocolate Chip and white cs and left it blank for the recipient to write on.

I then stamped the same swirl image on the envelopes with So Saffron ink so they would match.

I wanted to package them up so you could see them so I made a box with an acetate lid so they will show thru. While I was adding the cording to keep the package closed it reminded me of the boxes that wallets come in, doesn't it?

There's what I have for you this morning. I will show you more later!
