Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Happy little stampers watercolor

Our theme this month is

Anything goes / Embossing

I had a dream about this card... so got up and made it. I was surprised I remembered it after a night of sleeping..  I used Ranger ink and did a soft background. I then used this awesome embossing folder and love the look. I used watercolor paper and Stampin up leaves and Altnew watercolor to give color to the leaves. I let them dry and then used the dies .  I stamped the fox from Sugar pea and using Prima watercolors painted him and die cut out.  I love that he's raking up the leaves. I added the sentiment and some bling.

Our theme this challenge is

Circle card

So I am not one for making a circle shape card and so been sitting on what to do, and my hubby always tells me to "think out of the box" so as I was trying to get to sleep a few nights ago, of course my mind is on so many things but I thought about this challenge.. Then remembered this stamp set from Stampin up and in my mind I made this card.. So next morning I got up and made it. I used Ranger ink for the background. I stamped the circle SU stamp and heat embossed. Then used Paper trey ink sentiment and Simon says die and cut it out. I used some bling from SU to help hold the vellum piece down.

Alphabet challenge 

Our letter this week is

O - for OWL

For my card I took a paper I made a long time ago with paint and inks. It's so pretty I didn't want to use it but thought it's perfect for coloring of an owl. So I stamped the Tech. Tues. owl and heat embossed in black. I took a twine and added a little swipe of black in along it and added it for the line he's standing on. I added a few punched twigs and the sentiment is from the set. I used Stampin up die. I added a few diamond painting drills for added bling.
