Monochromatic Orange #2

This is my second monochromatic card for the Simon Monday challenge. I used a Tim Holtz border stamp to make a faux ribbon strip on this card and stamped the pumpkin with orange three times.

Monochromatic Orange

 

This is my first time taking part in the Simon Monday Challenge. I love a good challenge. I used only distress ink spiced marmalade on this card. I couldn't wait to use the shifter stencil to make my own background. It was fun using shading to make it look like different colors.

Faux Gilded Leaves

For this PaperTrey Ink challenge I used three embossing colors on my leaves (copper, gold, and terracotta). I also had to emboss my cute little acorn. Only got two colors on it because it was too small.  It was a fun challenge as I always like making fall cards.

Play Along Fox

 

This week I played along with PaperTrey and lifted this card made by Michelle Leone. I just loved the look of the grey with a pop of color. I ordered the wood stamp and can't wait to get it. I used my cute fox and leaves from the stylized autumn, the cloche quarters wood piece, and the sentiment is from Kind of corny.

OMBRE Watercolor Background

This was a really fun challenge over at PaperTrey Ink. It was an Ombre Watercolor Background. As soon as I saw it I thought of my blue hydrangeas. My inlaws are in RI right now and that is where I fell in love with these flowers so I made this card to send to them. I used TH Distress inks Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, and Mermaid Lagoon. The stamp sets were Friendship Jar Summer Fillers and Garden Variety for the sentiment.

Inchies

This week the PaperTrey Ink challenge was to use inchies. It's a fun, easy technique that I forget about. I made this card for my father in law who has a birthday on July 3rd. Not sure I like how the splats turned out but you don't have a lot of control over splats.

Blog Hop

 

The PaperTrey Ink Blog hop had and inspirational photo and it was perfect for a card I needed to send to my inlaws before they leave for a long trip. I focused on the colors and a few of the shapes.
