Fall Cards--Totally Different

I've seen lots of Fall cards using non-traditional colors.  That inspired me to use the GK Foil-Mates Bountiful Flourish which I foiled in Rose Gold a few weeks ago.  

A stacked Hero Arts Autumn Icons outline pumpkin die cut was left over from a previous project.  Love the aqua color, plus it's covered with beautiful sparkle from Inkon 3 Liquid Pixie Dust.  Couldn't let that go to waste!  I found a darker aqua cardstock & die cut the pumpkin again so I could inlay the pieces.  I used the same cardstock for the Spellbinders sentiment from the October 2020 Small Die Kit.  Needed something else & I've had felt on my mind with finally having cooler temperatures here.  Pulled out my old MFT dies--Small Rolled Rose & Prima Donna Petals.  

I remember my friend, Rosemary, used pink with rose gold & I just happen to have a shimmery pink cardstock, thanks to my friend, Vikki.  I entered the instagram ABNH texture challenge & I'm entering ModSquad & WAW.

PTI The Great Cover-Up challenge is to make a Halloween card. I don't have a lot of Halloween products, so had to get creative. I started by masking a rectangle--one of my favorite designs.

Then I black embossed the tree from Trendy Tree Tops.  The ink blending was done with Olive Twist, Saffron Spice, Canyon Clay & Amethyst Allure.  The sentiment from Taylored Expressions Boo to You was black embossed & I added 3 black Pico Embellisher dots.

I have a lot of talented on-line friends.  Mia does many things including painting, writing poetry & sewing.  Recently she sent me this beautiful zippered pouch she made!  

I'm using it to keep my current stitching project by my chair, so I can pick it up anytime.  Thanks so much, Mia!

I painted this wooden pot months ago & it's been sitting in my craft closet ever since then. Decided to decorate it for my Stampendous! challenge entry to make a gift. My stamps are Snow Swirl & Snow Brackets by Stampendous! Flat sides made it easy to stamp, alternating the direction on each side. My Simple Stick was still on the table from making THIS card. I used white pigment ink this time. Sure glad I figured out how to use this great product--love having the entire image glittered!  I haven't done any holiday baking yet, so for the picture I just wrapped up some biscotti. 

This stamp makes a great tag just embossed & die cut with a circle. The gems are another $1 package of 100--can't beat that! I'm really glad you took time to stop by. Enjoy your week. Edited to add: Also entering the Counting Down to the Holidays at SSS Monday Challenge.
