As You See it 331

 

This is for the As You See it challenge 331. This was a fast fruit card. As a former kindergarten teacher, I am a very fast colorer. I used an old retired stamp set from Flourishes (which is no longer in business) but the artist of this stamp is Marcella Hawley (of Power Poppy fame). I die cut the image and simly glued it to a design paper I found in my scrap box. Then I mounted it to a white cardstock base. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the design paper.

Festive Friday - harvest 167

 

Harvest is the theme of the Festive Friday challenge this week. I chose to use gingham, fruit, and twine for my three choices. The peaches are a wonderful stamp from the now defunct Flourishes, LTD. The designer is Marcella Hawley, one of my favorite of botanical art. I colored the peaches with alcohol ink pens and highlighted with white pencil. The gingham paper is from Paper Studio and the card base is kraft cardstock.

My Time to Craft 542

The challenge this week at My Time to Craft was to ad texture. I stamped a retired Stampin; Up background stamp onto design paper with versafine clair black ink, then I embossed the paper with a 3-D  embossing folder from Sizzix. I inked over the embossing with brown distress oxide ink. I die cut leaves from  guave cardstock and kraft. I punched flowers from gold chrome cardstock. The centers of the flowers are glued on jewels. The sentiment is from Pink Fresh. You can find the details and linky for this challenge here:
