Okay, let's get to it, eh?! My first card is a fall inspired one. Fall has to be my FAVORITE season. I love dry, crisp & sunny days.
hero arts supplies: cardstock: earth mix layering papers stamps: branches bold prints, color layering fall trees, kelly's holiday planner icons ink: pumpkin pie, cup o' joe, just rust, butter bar, forever green, india ink black, unicorn white
I started with Hero Arts Earth Mix Layering papers. Love how the Branches Bold Prints pop with Unicorn White Pigment ink! I used the Color Layering Fall Trees on vellum, it makes it flow with the background.
These are the inks I used:
The sentiment was stamped in India Ink Black.....the sweet pumpkin is from Kelly's Holiday Planner Icons! I have bits of birch paper in my stash, the India Ink just sits on top of it rather than 'bleeding'. I like how it captures the 'fall' feeling on center panel.
Next up is a holiday card:
hero arts products: cardstock: blush mix & snow layering stamps: candy stripe bold prints, peace & joy ink: holiday reds/winter greens by lia, hero hues metallic, india ink black other: ribbon cutting set by lia
I love designing tall skinny cards! This one measures 3.5 inches x 5.5 inches. The base is from the Blush Mix. Yes, I love the Unicorn White Pigment ink! This time I used it with the Candy Stripe Bold Prints. My center panel is a Snow Layering Panel trimmed down to 3 x 4. I used a corner rounder on both the base panel and the white panel. The Peace & Joy set is one of my favorites. It is filled with pretty sentiments and other graphic details. I stamped the sentiment in Black India Ink...I followed it up with the various circles in:
Isn't that bow a fun way to finish off a card? It is the Ribbon Cutting Set by Lia. Can you tell what I used? (smiling) Yes, I upcycled a Starbucks Coffee Sleeve! I decided to use the corrugated side for the bow and for the ribbon part, I used the 'flat' side so that you can see a smidge of the text. For added interest I used a mini wooden clip.
Well, that's it for me! Next on the hop is the Fabulous Kristina Werner! In case you get lost along the way, here's the full list:

Love using the coffee sleeve, brilliant!
Love the ideas outside the box or circle etc
Love the corrugated bow!
Like the tree on the vellum which almost looks like fabric. Like the crimped Kraft bow & how you attached it with a mini clothespin.

I loved the bow idea! I've always wondered what to do with the tiny clothespins that I've somehow managed to gather along these years, and now I have my answer! Great cards!
Love the layered fall leaves!
And the tree can be used for the other seasons changing the color palette.
Very interesting and fun cards! Love the color combinations.
I especially love your fall card - the layered fall tree looks like lots of fun to use!
I dig the background on the "happy fall" card. I pained a wine glass with that sort of tree branch thing going on.
Great job on both but that bow is especially an eye catcher.
Love how you stamped the tree on vellum so it would blend with the background. The corrugated bow is very clever. Thanks.
I love Fall, too, and those branches really do pop. The holiday card is my favorite, though, and I have to copy that bow! Excellent!
The background stamp is beautiful. Great touch for that lovely fall card.
Sweet cards!

The white pigment ink on your fall card gives the background an antique looking finish. That image would work on a spring card as well. I like it.
Great fall card.

Cute card.

The corrugated bow was my favorite element of all the work you displayed here. You have a unique style somewhat subtle but ever so mod and eye catching.
Great cards, I Love the how you used the new stamps!
