Rustic Birthday

 

SC981 - This week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I used some fall-colored card stock for the base then layered it on a coordinating rust colored paper. The center panel was trimmed with gold and sponged with green and blue distress oxide ink.

All the pieces for the scene were cut from paper scraps and layered and I added a birthday sentiment to the clouds. A couple of elements in the scene were popped up on dimensionals and the scene was finished with a flower from my stash and Nuvo Drop.

The clouds were sponged on the base, then the postal box was added and a couple of dimensionals were added to the door of the postal box.

The card was finished with a few stacked snowflakes and stickles were added to the snowflakes and Nuvo Drops were added to the mailbox.

Hip-Hip-Horray!

 

FS872 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Pat aka contrapat. Her gallery is full of wonderful inspiration. I found this INSPIRATION.

F4A713 - Leaves

For my card, I kept the 2 large rectangles Pat had on her card and made them the same size layering them over each other. I used designer paper that had really pretty foil and leaves in it for my card.

To pick up more of the gold in the paper, I die cut more gold leaves and layered them under the sentiment along with a couple stirps of green ribbon to match the green in the DP.

I added the sentiment and doodled around the sentiment layer.

The card was finished with a few punched gold bits.

Cute Bear

 

IC933 - Lake Effect Gallery - here is my inspiration

For my card, I used this cute image and the coordinating Kit and Clowder class to color him up with pencils.

Once colored he was mounted on a white card base. I did not want to take away from the cute image so I did not add a sentiment.
