Fall Is Here!

 Fall is here and this week my card was inspired by all of the gorgeous fall decor I see in my daily travels to and from work and around town. I see so many beautiful fall displays with everything from pumpkins to scarecrows and everything in between. This card has used a lot of stamps from High Hopes (list below the pictures) and involved a lot of fussy cutting but I am happy with how it turned out!

I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers and hand fussy cut the images. I ran a black marker around the edges to make sure I got any white I had missed. I decided to keep the patterned paper neutral because there are so many images in my scene. After cutting a circle in a piece of card stock, I put some blue paper behind it and inked all of the edges with Ground Espresso Distress ink. I cut some clouds with a die and glued them in the sky. 

Next, I added the stamped images to create my scene, coloured the sentiment sign and added it using a brad. 

Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian Friends & Family!

Even though this has been a rough 2020 for many of us, I personally still have so much to be thankful for.  Family & friends make my world a special place.  I think of the goods times this year that we have been able to share, even if sometimes it is just a chat on the phone or a video call.  My Mom always said patience is a virtue...she was right.  We all need patience during these very trying times.

For this special Thanksgiving I created a little scene card using some of my favourite farm stamps from High Hopes....no turkey lol.  Farmer Clem (S119) & his little gang - Billy Goat (Q060), Brewster (H189) with Corn Stalk (M011) & Farm Fence (M045).  A simple sentiment Happy Thanksgiving (F203) finishes off my card.

I had such a good time fussy cutting all my little images for this scene card...yes I love to do that lol.  I edged each cut image with a black marker, doing that gets rid of the white edge on your images.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, Happy Thanksgivng!

 

 

 

Happy Bird Day!

Happy Sunday HH Fans!

I'm back today with another card in my Farm Series.  This scene was so much fun to make & the images were super easy to color.  There is so much I could have done with these awesome little guys I had a hard time deciding.  This is what I settled on....

 

I started by stamping & cutting out all my images then I colored them all.  When I cut out an image I always grab my black marker & outline the edges so there is no white.  I just like that finished off look when I do that.

Stamps for this scene - Happy Bird Day sentiment F098, Brewster H189, Corn Stalk M011, Henrietta's Front Q034, Henrietta's Backside Q035, Hay Stack K020

Happy Fall

Okay, so it might not quite be fall yet but it is just around the corner and this month the design team will be working with fall and Halloween stamps! 

Fall is my favourite time of year. I love my cozy sweaters and the cooler temperatures. I also love that where I live, as the crops, flowers and produce come off the fields I have numerous road side stands to stop at to purchase fresh from the farm items.  

Farmer Clem is pretty proud of his corn this year as I am sure all of the farmers where I live are proud of their produce and flowers. 

I started by stamping Farmer Clem and then masking him off to stamp the cornstalk. After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers, I cut it out with a stitched rectangle die and added some clouds with a dauber and baby blue ink around the edge of a cloud die. This proud farmer was added to paper from Doodlebug, and the sentiment was masked off, stamped and cut out with a fish tail banner die. 
Some twine and gumdrops finish off my card.
