Autumn Grain

This photo was designed from the sketch from Stamping 411 Weekly Challenge. I decided to use some of the new colors that will be introduced in the Stampin'Up! catalog that will be available on July 1st. Aren't they beautiful? These 3 colors alone will work together great, but wait until you see the other new ones. I'll try and do a card with them soon.

Stamp Set: Autumn Days

Ink: Crushed Curry and Soft Suede

Paper: Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede

Accessories: Dusty Durango Marker with Crystal Effects to make small dots

We'll Miss You Card

I designed this card from a pattern online but used it as a We'll Miss You card for a staff member that was moving. It gave everyone room to sign on the inside as well as the back of the card.

The card background was done with SU! textured cardstock. It has more support and is heavier, as well as pretty. The designer paper is called Bella Bleu. It becoming one of my favorites. The 3-D butterfly was done on 2 layers of cardstock and after being colored has Crystal Effects added. This allows me to bend it a little and give it more shape. The antennae are actually for wire wrapping with beads. I have to thank my friend, Dana, for making these available.

If anyone wants the directions for this card, just email me.

Mojo Monday 89

Nothing like getting behind on your regular tasks. The Monday Morning Mojo Challenge is one I really enjoy. Unfortunately, this week I got involved in a few other tasks and one day led into another. Finally, it's Saturday and I finally complete the card.

Today's card uses a few different accessories for me.  The punch I used for the 3 hearts is unique as it cuts all 3 at once. Very convenient!  Also, since I didn't have embellishments or brads to coordinate with the Regal Rose color on the card, I drew 5 small dots with my Regal Rose marker and then added Crystal Effects for a 3-D look. I think it turned out nicely. I hope you do as well.

Until later, happy stamping
