Good Day!

Well here it's Sunday and I haven't gotten my house hold chores done, so no rest for me!  The rain has come back to make for a dreary wet day and the leaves are continually falling.......anyone up for a raking beside me??  LOL

I've best be telling you about the Challenge over at Come And Get It,  Cindy is playing hostess this week and she lives in Canada and they are getting ready for Thanksgiving.  So our theme is Thanks, Gratitude or Thanksgiving.

The background technique for my card is direct ink to paper, leaves stamped with craft white, clear emboss over entire sheet.  I then sprinkled embossing Opals for added golden tones.

Flourishes/Swirls A and T Challenge

 A and T Challenge Blog  is all about Flourishes & Swirls this round and I am stuck on the Autumn theme with all the blustery weather we've been having here in Alaska.  I've used Emerald Faery "Ebony" mounted with 2 different oval die-cuts and added some swirling leaves with punched leaves.

  

Here's my card

 You can find Ebony here at Emerald Faery online shop

Falling Leaves

A Breezy Hello!

We have been having some tremendous down pours of rain lately and the winds kick up and the leaves go swirling in the breeze........lots of yellow and orange colors are in the trees.  I really miss seeing the reds tho!

Aren't you just loving all the awesome colors that are coming out in the trees right now?  It's one of my favorite times of year especially for creating Fall cards.

I've taking some SU leaves and alphabet stamps, made a collage type 8x11 page.  Dry brushed color into the leaves and then sprayed Radiant Rains Gold onto top for a sparkle finish.

 I then placed die-cut trees that I distressed onto my collage leaves and final touch is the ribbon.

Gently Falling

Wow can you believe that Fall is right around the corner......The leaves at my house are turning colors and dropping already!  This weeks Color Challenge over at "Come and Get It" is using Red, Brown and Orange.         

I started out with the Top Note die-cut from Stampin'Up! and leaf stamps called "Gently Falling" (which is in the new Holiday Mini Catalog) so many possibilities for this set!

The sentiment is also SU which just happens to be a Hostess set called "Faith in Nature" thought it would go perfectly with the falling gently card.......Be sure to stop by and check out the Design Teams Blogs to see their awesome cards!
