Season of Thanks

Hello and welcome...I am really liking the new SU set called Gather Together. You can cut and emboss with the same dies. Great time saver. Today is Sunday so that means a new challenge over at  SUNDAY STAMPS. The sketch is from Monika...

Colors I used were: Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Cajun Craze and Calypso Coral. First I added Cherry Cobbler where the Calypso Coral is but, it was too much like it. You couldn't really tell them apart so I used CC. I stamped everything on crisp white and I love the overall look! The colors are very distinct and pop! I did my embellishing and added the this sentiment shape so it cover a lot of the stamped leaves.

Thanks again for stopping by. Did you see the other DT cards?? Head over to their blogs and be inspired. Hope to see you in the gallery...

Bye...

SUNDAY STAMPS Color Challenge

Welcome!  The new challenge at SUNDAY STAMPS is a beautiful color challenge! I knew I wanted to use a lot of bright color and I had been playing around with DSP, when I remembered a coloring tool in my stash...the fun and easy  Brusho Crystals!

I used the Gamboge and Yellow to create the motled background. I played around with different mixtures, and went with the more orange one. Below is the Fallious inspiration picture:

I used the Layered Seasons stamp set. I seem to go back to that set for the leaf die and stamp. The sentiment is from the new Gather Together set...it has leaves also, I haven't had time to play around with it yet!

I used the Black, Gray, Orange and Gold colors from the photo along with variations of the colors for my card. I heat embossed the leaves in white so they would pop and standout from the background. I'm not a big ribbon, twine or baker's twine user(even though I buy them!), but the liked the rustic feel the Jute Twine gave. 

Well that is all for now. The other DT ladies made some gorgeous cards for this challenge. Head over to their blogs to be inspired...

Happy Fall,

Melissa
