A warm & happy fall

 Raccoons get a bad wrap for causing havoc.  This one isn't so bad and he really is cute, all bundled up with his scarf.  So as the card says...don't worry, (ya right) just here to send a fall greeting, I would proceed with care!

Fall is officially here...

Fall is officially here, the harvest is in...and I'm taking a nap! 

He looks pretty satisfied, well stocked, and pooped!

Hello Autumn! Fall truly is my favorite color

 

Shhh...

This was fun to put together.  This Raccoon is a good Raccoon because he is sleeping and out of mischief!

 This is another card I would send a friend to say hello.

I created the sentiment, love doing that.

 

Hello Autumn

I love this owl all dressed for Halloween in his special "hat".  Love that he's perched on that pretty lantern in a field of pumpkins.  The background brush really adds to the card I think.

 

Autumn Blessings

For this monochromatic card, I chose to stamp Gina K’s Better with Age grape stamp as the focal and for the sentiment I used Autumn Blessing’s from Theresa Momber’s Fanciful Fall stamp set.  I stamped the image and sentiment using Memento Espresso Truffle, but the image out with Spellbinders and then went about shading with Memento Toffee Crunch and Morocco.  Love those colors.  I layered that onto a pumpkin colored piece of cardstock from my stash that had been embossed using a Darice embossing folder called Fall Leaf Background.  Added some pretty matching ribbon from my stash and there you have it.

Thankful For You

Out came the Gelatos again, this time using the Neutral set only.  Blended them onto a heavy weight card stock and set it aside to dry.  Using the Signs of Autumn stamp set’s maple leaf and the sentiment from Thankful for You, I inked it up with VersaMark and StampinUp’s Classy Copper embossing powder.  Thought it made a pretty combination of color tones.  Popped the focal over papers from my stash and added a ribbon/button treatment.

Thankful for You

I finally inked up my Friendship, Family, Love stamp and the sentiment from Thankful for You, from Gina K Stamps, but before I did that, after joining in all the blog hops using Gina’s stamps and Faber-Castell Gelatos and all that wonderful inspiration, I decided to open up my “Neutral”, and Metallic packages of Gelatos.  I cut some heavy white cardstock from Classic Crest, got out my mister and got to work.  How fun was that, its finger painting for adults, OUTSIDE THE LINES!  After the background dried, I got the VersaMark pad out and inked the focal image and sentiment and then sprinkled fine gold embossing powder on.  Ran the background papers through the Cuttlebug with Musical Flourish embossing folder, added a little white ribbon and that was it.  Not sure how successful this is, I'm thinking it needs more embellishments.

An Autumn Note

This is a “thumper” card.  I had so much fun the other day, decided to do it again.  Another virgin stamp met ink; this one is from Theresa Momber’s ElegantFlorals.  There is such a graceful flow to this stem I couldn’t pass it up.  I have several colors of Memento marker pens going on this one and also topped it with Stickles Diamond, which really made those colors pop, the greens, oranges, browns, yellows and reds.  Popped that onto an embossed background.

Hi

This was fun. I love apples and this wheelbarrow full of them from Rupa’s So Grateful stamp set over at StampTV was just the ticket for a fun fall card. The sentiment is from GinaK's Various Verses. I stamped the apple and sentiment images with Distress Ink “Rusty Hinge” and also used that same ink for shading. The background DP is from my stash and the sentiment tag is by Spellbinders and is called “Framed Tags One”. The ribbon is by GinaK. Used a little Sakura Stardust glitter pen but it’s hard to see in the photo. I colored the image with Copics.

An Autumn Note Card

For this one I pulled that gorgeous Sunflower from Theresa Momber’s Autumn Beauty Stamp Set from GinaK Designs at StampTV. Colored with Copics and shaded with Memento Tangelo. It was stamped using Memento Potter’s Clay. The pearls and papers are from my stash.  I added a piece of Spellbinders Wrought Iron fence in black.  I like that look.
