Halloween Pumpkins

My first Halloween card this year. Yes for you who don't know there are green and white striped pumpkins, we use only them for our pumpkin pies. My Grandmother called all orange pumpkins hog pumpkins (except the tiny little sugar pie pumpkins) Grand Dad raised the orange pumpkins to keep during the winter to feed the hogs. He keep them in the shed in a big pile of straw, and he loved to take us kids out to show us his hog feed ( Grand father was really great with us kids, I still miss him and it's been 37 years). For this card I used Autumn Harvest stamp set, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, and Bravo Burgundy card stock. I used the Pumpkin Pie ink on the tag I off stamped it twice on scrap paper then on the tag. For the Pumpkins I stamped them in Basic Black then used the Water Color Pencils and the Blender Pens. I added one orange and two black brads, forgot till I had taken the picture that I wanted to add Shimmer Paint Champagne Mist to my card. Hope you like it and HAVE A GREAT DAY.

This is the Snowflake Card from the Christmas in July Class that we didn't get to go to as we were at convention 2010. We bought the sets of everything from our up line, Sandy Risi. The card stock is Perfect Plum, and Elegant Eggplant, also water color paper. We used Watercolor Crayons and Aqua Painters. Silver Ink and Silver Embossing Powder. The stamp set is Snow Swirled.

Faux Mother of Pearl Background

Still do not have my light right or maybe my setting on my camera . I used Of the Earth stamp set (yes I know it's out of date but didn't have a set to do what I wanted to do that was current). The card stock is Glossy White, Regal Rose, and Pacific Point. I used Jet Black StazOn ink and Frost White Shimmer Paint. Also I sponged on Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette, and Certainly Celery ink on the Glossy White card stock. I used the pinking hearts punches and added white ribbon that I colored with Pretty in Pink ink and a Pearl. HAVE A GREAT DAY

O.K. the flower box I got in a swap at convention.There was nothing telling me how to put it together, this is all I could think to do with it. I had to make a ribbon flower to cover the big hole that was cut in the flower and the leaves. Does anyone know how to put it together, if so please let me know. I also made the strawberries today out of Real Red and Wild Wasabi card stock and some tiny ribbon I had left over from no telling when. I used the Big Shot and the Flower Folds Extra Long Die also the 5 petal punch for the leaves. Have a great DAY.

Autumn Leaves

I'm trying things that are new to me, maybe old to you. This is the Faux Mother of Pearl card I wanted to try, also I'm going to be using the stamps I bought and have never used. This should be lots of fun. I used Autumn Splendor and Dreams du Jour stamp sets. Now I'll put them aside until I use some more new sets that are begging to be used (I feel sorry for them). I used Sahara Sand, Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, and Glossy White card stock. Too make the Faux Mother of Pearl I used Frost White Shimmer Paint. Ink is Jet Black StazOn and I used Soft Suede, Cho. Chip,Cajun Craze, and Always Artichoke Markers. I have to get better lighting my pic are not turning out right and I tried a different place to day. Have a Great Day

Antique Card

Well if a little helps I always use too much. Always I try another dab too make it better until I get too much. I was trying for an antique card here. I used the Because I Care set, with Whisper White, Old Olive, and Regal Rose card stock. The ink is Sahara Sand and Soft Suede, also Regal Rose, Old Olive, Cho Chip and Pretty in Pink Pastels. Well let me know what I should have done to make it better. I'm at a lost here for ideas on this card it's just not quite what I wanted. I'll try again later after I've had time to think. Got a Grand daughter coming and have to get ready for that.
