Lest We Forget - Remembrance Tag

Image
Hello Friends,  Today, I have teamed up with Whimsical Digi Art to bring you this beautiful Remembrance Sunday journal Tag. For the background, I blended Lost Light, Hickory Smoke, and Black Soot. I dried the tag then sprayed them with Decayed and Empty Tomb and heat dried the tag again. I heat embossed a poppy in copper and stamped some script text in black. I wanted something at the bottom right, so I heat embossed some barbed wire in silver, so that it would not detract from the image. This image of the boots came in black and white, I coloured them in brown using alcohol markers and used red for the poppies. Finally I stamped a Lest We Forget sentiment, and distressed it with Hickory Smoke, to make it pop out. Whimsical Digi Art has some stunning designs, in both black and white images or pre-coloured.

Inspiration Station #55 - November

Image
Hello Friends,  Welcome to another Inspiration Station Challenge Design Team Entry.  This month's entry is inspired by the photo: Isn't that photograph amazing?  Look at those autumnal colours!!! I love autumn, the colours and the crispy sounds that leaves make underfoot.  I took my inspiration from the amazing colours of autumn and used them when I designed this card. How cute do the pumpkins look when they have been decoupaged?  It was so simple to cut out the pumpkins, and then I popped them on some foam tape to give them some dimension.  I am really pleased with how this card turned out.  I hope you like it.  If you have been inspired by the photo, why not pop over to  Inspiration Station  and show us your creations.

Paper Funday #59 - November

Image
Hi Friends,  I hope you are well today. Over at  Paper Funday,   it is challenge Day, and today's challenge is "Anything Goes" but there is an Optional Twist of  "Greatful/Thankful ".    Heres my Design Team entry. I made a background using a number of distress inks and Oxides and a stencil. Then with the stencil still attached, I ran it through my Gemini, giving it a subtle embossing pattern.  You can see it better on the back of the card. Using the same colour inks, I blended some cardstock, then stamped the butterflies on.  These were adhered to some white card stock to make the butterflies pop. I stamped a "With Thanks" sentiment on some white card stock Then I added 3 little little stones in between the butterflies. Here is the card that was my inspiration. It was in Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. Thank you for joining me today, and I hope I have given you some inspiration if you have a Butterfly stamp.  Don't forget to hop on ov...
