Falling Leaves

How has your weekend been going so far?  Today is the Super Bowl here in the states and that means I will have my crafting space entirely to myself since all the men folk in my house will be watching the game.  I treasure the time I am allowed in here alone since I share the space with my husband who is an avid computer gamer and my youngest fur baby who is a dog but gets in the window like a cat.

Yesterday on SCS the inspiration challenge was to review a Pintrest board and design a card inspired by it.  This board had some amazing items pinned on it and this is the one I chose:

and here is the card that resulted:

It is a very clean and simple one.  In fact it is too clean for my husband who does not care for all of the white space.  I found a scrap piece of #80 Neenah Solar White and placed some double sided adhesive on the back, swiped it with the three ink colors, and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Once the piece cooled I cut the sentiment out, peeled the backing off to reveal the adhesive and then placed it on my panel.

Supplies used:

Paper: #110 Neenah Solar White for base, #80 Neenah Solar White for focal panel;

Stamps: Penny Black Fancy Foliage;

Dies: Penny Black Wishes

Inks:  Mama Elephant Lollipop, Lemongrass, and Orangeade;

Cool Party Chicks

Good Morning,

I have another Penny Black creation to share today.  She was created using one of the images from Cool Chicks.  I cut her out using Mama Elephant's Femme Frames and used the second die in the set for the mat.  Put some doodlebug sequins above her and consider her done.

How's your Saturday going so far?

Parisian Kindness

Happy Friday!!

This morning I was able to knock out a quick card before going to work.  I used three different Penny Black Stamp sets to create this scene.  They are Fancy Foliage for the sentiment, a day in Paris, and Uptown.  Everything was stamped with Archival Black and I used Gina K inks with some water to color in my scene.  She's mounted on #110 Neenah Solar White and the DP is from a Snap Color Vibe 6 x 6 pad.

Hoping this is just the beginning of craftiness for this weekend.  What are your plans for this weekend?

Shall we have tea?

Wow, I have been away for at least a week and I feel so lost.  The youngest came down with something and of course mommy had to get it as well.  I am just now getting to the point where I can function somewhat.  I made this card today. This little girl is an illustration by Mo Manning and she came part of  the T-time set sold under the Penny Black brand.  The sentiment is a die cut also from Penny Black.  The background was created using the On Point Border set with Moonlight Pigment ink from Mama Elephant.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
