Fall Thinking of You

Fall is one of the prettiest seasons. The colors of God's palette are amazing. The Beauty of the Earth designer series paper exemplifies those colors. The background for this is Merry Merlot, and the Color and Contour stamp set works perfectly for this card.

Season of Thanks

The Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series paper is gorgeous! This card uses two pieces of it. Of course, the picture doesn't do it justice. There are specs of gold in the designer paper, and the gold Be Dazzling 6" x 6" specialty paper (from the Sale-a-bration collection) is the perfect accent to the designer paper.

Technique Time...This is such a fun, and addictive, technique. All you need are window sheets, strips of cardstock or designer paper, and foam adhesive strips. The rest is for decoration.

Here are a few other samples:

Ink ... Daub ... Spritz

Technique Time ... there is probably a technical name for this technique, but I'm calling this "ink, daub, spritz". And that's how it's done. The colors I used are balmy blue and night of navy (for the stamping). Surprisingly there is purple that showed up as it dried. I love that part of it! There may have been some residue on my stamps, not sure.

Here is a video showing how I did the technique:
