Thoughtful Happiness

Happy Monday stampin' friends!  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and had a chance to celebrate World Card Making Day! 

It's the first Monday of the month, which means it's time for an all new color challenge over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  I love these soft colors...perfect for a pretty fall sympathy card.

I have had to make far too many sympathy cards lately.  These are always my least favorite to make, but I always hope that they will bring some friendship and comfort to those they are sent to.

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White

Ink ~ So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Tangelo Twist

Stamp Sets ~ Choose Happiness, A Dozen Thoughts

Other Supplies ~ Gold Thread, Metallic Sequin Assortment

 

I kept this very simple...often times less is more...

Lots and lots of layers on this card...sometimes I just can't stop myself!  But I was just having so much fun with all of the pretty DSP designs and wanted to use them all!

We Interrupt This Marriage...

...for hunting season!  Yep...it's that that of year again.  The time of year that my hubby gets a serious case of buck fever and I become a hunting widow.  The good news is that with my hubby and boys gone most weekends I get some time to myself which means more stamp time!

This week at The Friday Mashup we are playing around with silhouettes and backgrounds.  

When I started to make the background I had a little something different in mind, but the more I played around with creating the background, the more it looked like camo, which sparked a whole new idea...a hunting card for my hubby!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Whisper White, Watercolor Paper, Winter Wonderland Specialty DSP

Ink ~ Tip Top Taupe, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Soft Suede, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Wonderland

Other Supplies ~ Circle Framelits, Snowflake Elements, Black Embossing Powder, Basic Black Bakers Twine, Aqua Painter

To create my background, I first spritzed my Watercolor Paper with water then used my Aqua Painter to apply the Tip Top Taupe.  I used my Stamping  Write Markers to color the pinecone image the spritzed it with water and stamped it on the still damp Watercolor Paper.  This made for a fun background for the antlers!

I'll tuck this card in my hubby's pack as he heads out for his first morning of hunting...a fun little traction I started way back when we first started dating.

Now it's your turn to create a background for your silhouette image!

Happy Friday and Happy Stamping!!
