Fall Leaves and Butterflies


 

The 1st October Verve sketch is up and everyone can play along. I turned it around for my card. I found this lovely paper at my LSS. The line is Glitz Design. The soft yellow and distressed blue flower paper were almost too wonderful to cut apart.

I am hooked on making my own chipboard embellishments after PTI's last Make it Monday. I had to create more. I used the new holly jolly die collection to create some leaves for my 1st card. The sentiment is from Verve's Autumn Splendor set.



The next card has a butterfly die chipboard embellishment. My new go-to stamp set is Verve's Words of Wisdom. The sentiments have been perfect for so many items that I have make over the last few weeks.


Hopefully this next picture gives you a closer look at the details. Click to make it larger.


Hope your week is going well. I started working my Christmas set-up job today. I've already decorated several trees. Thanks for stopping by friends!! R

Happy Spring!


While out flower shopping last week, I just had to stop into a local scrapbook store since I was in the area. I couldn't resist this sweet My Umbrella image from Pure Innocence. I made TWO cards in different colors. This was a great practice piece for Copic Markers as the umbrella area has lots of room to practice blending.


I didn't know how appropriate this image would be when purchasing, we have since had 4" of rain. 












 
The sentiment is from PTI - Egg Hunt along with the New Leaf buttons.



Crystal Effects on the rain boots adds sparkle!


  

I figured out my bow easy to create the bow using PTI - Hawaiian Shores Polka Dot Satin ribbon.





The rain is supposed to go away today. I know the thousands of people in town for the Nascar Races are hoping that is true. Enjoy your day! ~Rhonda

Lucky


Feeling Lucky? I love the bingo cards that Sharon Harnist has made. I loaded mine into PSE 7 and added a brush shamrock, lucky number 17, and the circle. A little hybrid work makes it easy to change colors and match any paper I'm working with.


After scanning my background paper, I could use my eye dropper to pick the colors I used on the bingo card. Dabbed some bermuda bay ink and it is ready to go.



Top of the day to YOU! ~ Rhonda

SPCC #20 Happy Fall


Hi Everyone!
I'm playing along with SPCC's color combo challenge. I didn't have any Always Artichoke so I chose SU's Mellow Moss.

I purchased my 1st Magnolia "Tilda" stamps. They are stretching my coloring skills! I am thankful there are lots of Copic Marker tutorials online. I used the SU backgrounds One texture plate with the Curry cardstock. I thought it matched the detail of Tilda's scarf. 

I used the Spellbinder's Label One on an angle to change it up a little.
It is a beautiful fall day here in Texas! Thanks for looking.

Keep Playing! --Rhonda 


SFYTT Sketch/Country Living Color Inspiration


I received my November Country Living magazine yesterday. It certainly isn't following traditional holiday colors. This trend is being used in card making as well. I decided to use the cover as my color inspiration. Blues/Teals. Yellow. Brown.

I used  Jen del Muro's SFYTT sketch for the layout.










The stamp image is a retired SU - Winter Play as well as PTI Polka Dot Basics II and Fresh Alphabet to spell out snow. I used PTI Aqua Mist, Lemon Tart and SU Choc Chip cardstock. I used my Copic marker (BG11, BG13, BG18) to color my nestie scallop and the snowman's accessories. Buttons from my Grandmother's button tin, glitter pen on the scarf, and snowflake die from Spellbinders finished the look.

Thanks for looking! Keep playing --Rhonda

Three in One


Happy Monday Everyone!
While visiting Mona's blog I learned about the Pile It On! Challenge. What great fun and super information on all the challenges that are available. I am combining 3 challenges in one card. I actually found it easier to do several challenges in one versus individual cards! #1:  I used Mojo Monday sketch #107 #2: SPCC #18 Color Combos and #3 Pile In On Challenge Three Dimensionals. The process took awhile but I'm happy with the results! Thanks for looking.


One of the details I really like is that the paper with Happy Fall has diamonds that match the texture plate I used for the background.

Supplies Used:
Paper: SU Dusty Durango, Not Quite Navy, Soft Suede, My Mind's Eye - Dots, paper pack - blue diamond
Ink: SU Not Quite Navy and Soft Suede
Stamps: SU Fantastic Foliage (ret), PTI 2009 Autumn Tags for sentiment
Extras: SU texture plate background 1, brads from stash, twine from PTI, ribbon from Michaels, pop dots
