Guest Designing at Craft Stamper

Hey everyone!  Today I am guest designing over at the Craft Stamper Magazine blog.  We are sharing some inspiration for the October Make It, Take It challenge.  The magazine got a new look recently and the title has a grouping of words that the challenge is based on.  Ink, Stitch, Paint, Collage, Print, Paper.  As long as you use one of these things on the list (and stamping of course) you can play along!  Here's my card...


I first masked off and circular area and sponged on spiced marmalade and picked raspberry Distress inks.  Then I stamped my leaves (Clearly Besotted) by inking them up (used spiced marmalade, mowed lawn Distress ink and lady bug (red) Memento ink) and spritzing them with water so the colours would blend.  I then masked off a border and sponged on forest moss Distress ink.  I stamped the sentiment (Clearly Besotted) in black and then added some faux stitching with a black fine tip marker.

Hope you can play along in the challenge this month.  So many possibilities!  Thanks for visiting and hope you have a wonderful Friday!

I'm linking up to the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog - Autumn is in the air
TIME OUT Challenge - inspired by words:  'Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile'
Fusion Card Challenge - Falling Leaves Bouquet - I used just the photo.

  9. Wow! This is such a fantastic card! I love how you swept the leaves in that great circular shape. It gives the whole card this feeling of energy and movement-- just like falling leaves! And your leaves really are stunning. The texture you created on each leaf is remarkable. This made me want to run outside and crunch through a big pile of leaves! Thanks so much for sharing this lovely creation with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
