DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #214 ~ Fall Colors

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! I'm still trying to get into the swing of things after having been gone, so if I haven't been by to visit you, I will be soon :) It's time for a new Thankful Thursday challenge at DL.ART and the theme this week is Fall Colors. If you use the code l01210, Diana will give you 10% off your purchase at DLART.

For my cards, I did a little stamping and splattering on the background layer. Sissal, burlap, fabric leaves and baby's breath were added for texture.

The leaves are Cherry Lynn Fall Leaves dies. This gorgeous ribbon is Burnt Leaf from The Fall Bundle.

The clock is a Tim Holtz die. This beautiful ribbon is Turning Leaf from The Fall Bundle.

The fabric flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts and it's been sprayed with several different Dylusions Inks to achieve the fall color.

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to DL.ART to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge. Then link up your Fall Colors (or you could always substitute a Thank You card) project. I can't wait to see what you create :)

I know I say this about every new release, but this one is my very favorite ever!! The Whispers Holy Cross die is so beautiful. You can't tell in the picture, but the cross is covered with Crystal Ice Glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle. I popped it up with foam tape for dimension. The papers are from Prima.

I used the new Whispers Stitched Nesting Circles for the sentiment. Happy is a Sweet Wordlet die. Easter is from My Craft Spot (no longer in business). The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the gorgeous ribbon is from Little Scrap Pieces. The button is a Wee Petites Button die.

Scrapy Land Blog Challenge #31 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!! It' s December already...I don't know how that happened :) The first Wednesday of the month means a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is Anything Goes using a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries...there are over 40 to choose from.

DL.ART September Linky

Happy Tuesday and first day of September!! Wow...where has the summer gone?? I'm so excited and honored to announce that I am a member of Diana's brand new Design Team at DL.ART!! Diana is one of my oldest and dearest blog friends and I'm so happy to be a part of her new venture!! Have you seen her crinkle ribbon?? Swoon!!

I am featuring two of her new colors: Blue Hue Tail (LOVE!!) from Mermaid's Tale Second Edition and Rose' from Vintage Vineyard. Most of you know how I have a slight...okay, major crinkle ribbon obsession!! Diana's ribbons are absolutely gorgeous!!

Both of these cards were made pretty much the same, with different colors. The papers are from Prima and the edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. The top layer was cut with a Spellbinders Curved Borders 1 die.

A Die-Versions Whispers Ring of Hearts die was added next, followed by a Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three die. The sentiments are from My Craft Spot's Deepest Sympathy stamp set.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Memory Box Chloe Stems were added, along with some baby's breath. The bottom butterfly is from Memory Box and the top is from Impression Obsession. This is the Rose' Crinkle Ribbon from Vintage Vinyard. The button is from PoppyStamps and I used some of Diana's Pink Twine.

This is the gorgeous Blue Hue Tail From Mermaid's Tale. I also used some of her Blue Twine on this one.

Happy Saturday!! I hope you are having a great weekend. It's a nice one here...temps in the mid-80's with low humidity. We even had an afternoon thunderstorm :)

I have a couple of cards to share with you today using gorgeous baby's breath sent to me by my sweet friend Samra!! I am in love with the baby's breath...it adds such a dreamy quality to the cards!! Thank you again, Samra :)

For these cards I started with a Tim Holtz Distressed Brick embossing folder. This bricks on this one were inked with TH Victorian Velvet Distress ink. The clock is a Kaisercraft Clock die. The banner is a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 1 die. It was stamped with a Darkroom Doors Script die and then heat embossed with Sparkle n Sprinkle White Embossing Powder. It was then inked with TH Spun Sugar Distress Ink. The sentiment tag is a LaLa Land Stitched Elements die. Celebrate is from Inspired by Stamping. The largest butterfly is a Memory Box Isabella die. The smaller butterflies are from Impression Obsession Butterfly Set.

This one is pretty much the same, except I switched up the inking...the bricks of this one were inked with TH Spun Sugar and the rest of the elements were inked with TH Victorian Velvet. Memory Box Chloe Stems were tucked among the Wild Orchid Crafts blooms. The gorgeous ribbon is Pink Champagne from DL.ART's Vintage Vinyard Bundle. Stampendous Frantage was sprinkled around and heat embossed from beneath the card.

Here's a close-up of the beautiful baby's breath.
