I Brake for Fall Bouquets!

Hello from design team member, Heidi.  I hope you are having a great Autumn so far.  Today, I am sharing a card with a bouquet of flowers that I colored for this season.  

I decided to stamp my sentiment right over top of the card front.  I used my stamping platform so that I could stamp it repeatedly, and get a nice bold look.  Then, I thought I would use a bit of white pencil to highlight the right side of the words to make sure it stood out well.  I thought that did the trick, and my card is nice and flat for mailing!

The floral stamp is part of a lovely stamp set called Florals Sheet, and the sentiment can be found in the I Brake for Stamps store HERE.

Thank you for visiting the blog today!  Come back again soon!

I Brake for Covered Bridges!

I love writing this post, because I really do brake for covered bridges!  I have happy memories of driving through one every year with my family, on our way to our summer vacation.  We always slowed down and tried to see if someone was coming through the other way, and when the coast was clear, drove on.   It is painted red, so I decided to color this stamped scene in red.

I used alcohol markers to color the scene.  I randomly decided where the clumps of different colored leaves would be and am happy how it turned out!  I added accents of die cut leaves around my oval frame, and finished it with this lovely plaid paper that I have been saving for a special project.  

This stamp is simply called Covered Bridge and you can purchase it in the I Brake for Stamps store.  If you like covered bridges, there are a few others to choose from HERE.

Thanks for visiting the blog today!

I Brake for Pumpkins & Fall

 Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!
Today I'm sharing a card I created for I Brake For Stamps and Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge. On my card I used the super beautiful pumpkins from the I Brake for Stamps "Fall Half Sheet'! I am LOVING all the beautiful fall stamps on this sheet! I will post a photo and another link below to the sheet :)

 

While I love fall, I am going to miss our hot summer :( I have to be honest I LOVE the heat verses the cold. I do love all the colors for fall, so I will enjoy that :)

 

 So my card for today measures 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"
Layer 1- black cut at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" then orange pumpkin patch design paper at 5 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Layer 2-( border layer) cut at 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" orange, then the design paper is cut at 2 1/2" x 5 1/4", next I cut borders and placed them behind. Also added some gem strips I cut from a thick trim.
Layer 3- 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" black, then dp is cut at 4" x 3".

I Brake for Stamps Fall Stamps were stamped in tim holtz distress ink black soot, and then colored with copics YR16,YR68 , YG05 YG13, and E31 I then fussy cut them out.

Next the Oh Bountiful Season was stamped again in Black Soot, and then cut out. I dusted with Black soot, and spiced marmalade distressed inks. I used the Judikins dusters to do this.

Branches were punch out and hot glued on with the handmade flowers. I do have a video tutorial on this here on my blog. Ribbon is Satin , and shimmer satin.

 

I really enjoyed creating my card for today, and for the challenge over at SCS! Hope you enjoyed my post!!!

Here is the darling Fall 1/2 sheet!

 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
