More Lovely Leaves for the Curtain Call Challenge!

 

I have a couple of more Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge Cards

I have three aunts who live up in Washington and I try to send them a card every couple of months...so I thought I would go ahead and make all "leaf" cards for them!

 

The Stamps used are MFT:  Fall Foliage for both cards

the sentiment for the first card is from PTI Keep it Simple:  Thinking of YOU

The top card has a little glossy accents on the red berries and lots of clear Wink of Stella on the leaves and acorns!!  Very sparkly in real life!!

 

I will take the time to write out a nice long letter to each of them and let them know what is going on in my life and with my children and grandchildren.  They love getting these cards I make and I sure love being able to send them a card and give them a smile.

The aunts are 95, 92 and 91! 

Have a great week!

Heart Hugs!

Lovely Leaves ~ Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

It's the time for me to be sending out some fall cards to my three aunts...When I saw Lovely Leaves as the inspiration for the

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

I knew I wanted to use that for my theme for them!

I was inspired also by a sketch from Papertrey!

hello die is from Saavy Dies

thinking of you is from PTI Keep It Simple:  thinking of you

Leaves from Lil' Inkers:  Stitched Leaf dies

 

Thanks for taking a look.

Have a wonderful Labor Day holiday!

Back to school for all the kiddos tomorrow morning, bright and early!

Mom's can breather a big sigh and b.r.e.a.t.h.e. now!

 

Heart Hugs!

Merry Monday # 84 and Curtain Call

This is for the Merry Monday Challenge where the cue word is "tree" with bling!  I added glossy accents to each of the red berries.

and also for the Curtain Call Challenge

Stamps:  PTI "Believe" colored with copics.

We are winding down with the Christmas challenges for this year...I think I have enough...more than enough!  But I am excited to continue with making cards even if it is for next year!

Curtain Call Inspiration: Sunflowers!

Clearly Besotted is the sponsor for this challenge over at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge  with a chance to win their own set called: Blooming Marvelous stamps and Die Collection!!  Yahoo!!

I used PTI Simple Sunflower.  First I die cut the circle using a nestability die, then I marked off the circle on the card base and stamped my flowers.  the sentiment is a Hero Arts one that I shaped inside the actual die while it was on the glass block in order to get the sentiment to follow the circle.  I masked the flowers to add the leaves.

And now because I am going to take the new Online Card Class:  Insider, I am paying special attention to the inside of the cards, so here is this one:

It kind of goes with the front of the card sentiment:  amazing friend!!  Oh and I didn't forget to add a flower to the front of the envelope...but of course it was AFTER I cleaned and put the whole set away!!  I am learning, it is just taking me a while..!!
