TGIF Challenge #497 - Color Challenge

Welcome to this week’s TGIF Challenge!! Such a fun autumnal color combo … and I didn’t actually do a fall-themed card! THAT was the challenge for me!

The Umbrella Days Bundle just screams “Christopher Robin” to me … without Pooh, of course! This little person has a sweet little doggie for a companion instead!

I not only used the Umbrella Days Dies, but the Deckled Rectangles and some raindrops from the Bright Skies Dies as well!

 

I used my Watercolor Brush and some paper-pieced bits to make the image with the umbrella.

The umbrella itself is make using a combo of a stamped image, water coloring for the little human and paper piecing AND water coloring on the umbrella itself! I love how it adds texture!

Stamps: Umbrella Days

Paper: Basic White, Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Country Woods 12x12 DSP

Ink: Memento Black, Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Ivory Stampin’ Blend

We’d love to have you play along! You can check us out our blog HERE and Instagram … lots of great inspiration from the rest of the TGIF Crew!

Monday Montage for Fall!

Where does the time go??? To be fair,I know we are into “fall”, but it has still be in the 90s here in Salt Lake City. Crazy, right??? Couldn’t wait any longer to make a true “fall” card, so here we are!

Eeep! Yikes!! And OH MY GOODNESS!! The More Than Autumn Bundle (which is an online exclusive) is just soooo yummy I can almost taste it! (Seriously, I expected this card to actually SMELL like pumpkin spice once I had finished it!).

I used a combination of textures and layers to get to the end of this card … embossing folders, dies, stamps and twine!!). I just wanna like that whipped cream off the top of this thing!

I used the Designer Tags Dies to make 

the layer in the background using the A Little Latte DSP.

I couldn’t help using some fussy cutting to add some sentiments to my sentiment tag (does that make sense?).

And the two-tone leaves??? Yeah, you are going to see me do this again because I love it!!
