Glittery Teal Leaves Birthday

Good morning!  I love this new Layered Fall Foliage stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  It's so funky and retro and mod all at once.  LOL!  I especially love the little inside stenciling where I can do all kinds of different things to change up the leaves and acorns.  For today's card, I decided to go with a monochromatic color combo. 

I started by placing the first stencil down onto some white cardstock and I brushed one some Tidepool and Juniper inks (C9) all over the panel.  Then I removed the stencil and placed the second one down, aligning it with the leaves that I just stenciled.  I taped down this stencil and then spread some glittery teal paste over the whole stencil and set the panel aside to dry.  I die cut the sentiment, adhered it to the stenciled panel, and glued the panel to a teal card base.  Isn't that a fun birthday card??

Chocolate Sunflower Hello

Good morning!  Did you know that there is such a thing as chocolate sunflowers?  Yup, they are real!  I had this little fact in my head when I set about playing with this new Sunflower Scroll stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  This is a gorgeous stencil, and I wanted to see if I could make some chocolate sunflowers with this stencil.

I placed the new Sunflower Scroll stencil onto some white cardstock and taped it down.  Then, with a very small blending brush, I blended some brown ink over the flower petals.  I used another small brush to add some yellow ink to the centers of the flowers, and then another small brush to add some soft green ink around the scrolls and the sunflowers.  After I trimmed the stenciled panel down for a mini slimline card, I stamped the sentiment with a dark brown ink.  The panel was glued to a dark brown layer and then glued to a white mini slimline card base.  (FYI - this mini slimline card size is 6" x 3.5")

Glittery Pumpkin Pouf Thanks

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a fun pumpkin card with y'all.  This new Pumpkin Pouf stencil from A Colorful Life Designs is so elegant and gorgeous, so I pulled out some of my glittery pastes to use with it.  I placed the Pumpkin Pouf stencil over some cream cardstock and taped it down.  Then I spread some glittery orange paste over the pumpkin and very quickly spread some glittery golden paste on all the other areas and removed the stencil before everything dried.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut and adhered it below the pumpkin.  Then I glued the stenciled panel to a rusty orange card base.

I love the sparkle on this card!  Please use this code, HollyFan10, when you shop for stencils at A Colorful Life Designs.  You will save 10% off your entire order, excluding bundles, so you can grab this Pumpkin Pouf stencil along with some other great stencils from the September release.  Have a wonderful day!

 

Happy Fall Y'all Oak Sprig

Good morning!  It's still in the 100's here, but we have hope!!!!!!!!!!  It might be in the 80's next week!!!!!!!!!  I'm so excited and I can't wait to see if those temps actually happen for us.  So, I'm going to keep on posting my fall cards in the hopes that FALL actually makes an appearance next week.  

I used the gorgeous Layered Oak Sprig stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and some green, blue, and purple inks for a fun color palette.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Picket Fence Studios with black ink directly on top of the stenciling.  It fit beautifully right in that curve of the branch.

Glittery Foliage Birthday

Good morning!  Today's card is bright and fun and glittery, and I had an absolute blast creating this one.  I placed the new Layered Fall Foliage stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over some white cardstock and taped it down.  Then I sponged on some hot pink, purple, and orange dye inks randomly all over the stencil.  After I removed this stencil, I lined up the second stencil and taped it down.  Then I spread some glittery copper-ish glitter glue over the stencil, removed the stencil, and let the panel dry.  I adhered the dry panel to a white card base, and finally, I added the stamped birthday sentiment.

Glittery Autumn Greetings

Good morning!  It's not quite autumn here in TX as we're still in the 100's, but I'm doing my best to convince Mother Nature to cool off.  Maybe this glittery leafy autumn card will do the trick??

I placed the new Fall Leaves stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over some white cardstock and taped it down.  Then I spread some glittery pastes (yellow, orange, brown) all over the stencil in a random fashion.  After I scraped off the excess paste, I spread it onto some extra white cardstock and let it dry.  That's what I cut the "autumn" sentiment from so it matched my leafy background.

It's Pumpkin Spice Season!

Good morning!  It's pumpkin spice season!!!  How many of y'all have already been drinking your PSL's??  I just had to create this pumpkin spice card to celebrate the beginning of the fall season.  It's still in the 100's here, but I'm determined to make fall arrive early so it cools things off.  LOL  I used two brand new stencils from A Colorful Life Designs - the Fall Leaves stencil was used on the kraft background and I used the Lots of Pumpkins stencil to add a pumpkin to the coffee cup.
