Colours of Autumn

this is my card to promote the  inspired by Autumn challenge. I thought I would struggle because I always associate Autumn with the falling leaves, but after looking at my Visible image stamps I used the small and top of the medium tree from the Tree Trio and an assortment of inks, I used the beautiful butterfly stamp which I double stamped to get the two tone effect , with Visible image clear stamps you can match them up perfectly, I then mounted it on mustard card. I stamped the live well... verse and the back side of the grunge flouish for my sentiment topper I embossed it in clear white embossing powder then brushed over with inks to give an aged effect, all mounted on co-ordinating card from stampin up to match the inks

I mounted the butterfly on 3D foam and also the sentiment panel.

The butterfly was finished off with pearls.

Thanks for calling by if you like my card please let me know, If you want any more information on how I made the card please ask. Thanks Tania x

I have entered the Try it on Tuesday challenge, Fashionable Stamping Challenge

Fancy a Coffee Break

Here is this weeks card, its made from the coffee break set, Its a great set to use. It can be to meet up with friends , coffee morning , christmas card if you use snowflakes behind or just a great chillin' card.

 I first stamped the coffee beans in assorted colours of brown inks, all inks used are stampin up. I then used my brushes to ink the edges, I do so try with the foam but I am never happy, give me a brush every time. The cups are then stamped on the main card topper and edged this with green ink . Then I re stamped the mugs ,coloured using promarkers then embossed with clear embossing powder to make the mugs look like pottery. I mounted them using 3D glue rounding them to give them mug shape. I did the same with the cafetiere but  used 3d gems for the lid and feet. The coffee break is stamped onto a punched out topper edged with green and mounted with a gold brad.

Hope you like the card leave a comment if you do , if you want any more info please ask.

An Easel card

This is a card that I have made for a friends nephew , who is 2. The name letters and number are made using extra large alphabet rubber stamps from Dimensions Fourth and their large alphabet is used for the birthday. All letters are either from material or are embossed using embossing folders . This is to give an extra feel to the card, Freddie loves Winnie the Pooh so I used a Jolee set. The papers are downloaded from the Nitwits playground set and I borrowed the rubber stamps from a friend for the stamps inside the card coloured with pro markers
