Fence Falling

Tomorrow is a mini-workshop day.  We are going to create two small projects.

The first one is this 4x6 tile art-perfect to display on your fall themed Mantel.  We are using the Autumn Time stamp set (ss-0147) that you can purchase at www.funstampersjourney.com/cindybristow

The second piece we will be working on is a fall themed card using the House Mouse stamp "Fence Falling".  

Thanks for stopping by!

Green and Gold

Today I am sharing a card I made for Dragonfly Journeys challenge No.21, Any thing Goes with Green and Gold.

 

The first thing I thought about with these colors was fall.  I love how the leaves are just starting to get small hints of gold here in Maryland.  I pulled out my one of my new stamps I got at Yummy and Delicious down in Virginia Beach called Autumn Time.  I chose 2 of the images and stamped them in Dark Roast ink.

 

  After I stamped them I colored them with the following Copic markers:  Y15, Y19, Y38, YG23, YG67, and YR27.  I just love how they turned out!

 

 

The background was a bit stark so I grabbed another of the leaf images from the set, inked it up with Pineapple Smoothie ink and kissed it with a little Lemon Grass ink.  The final touch was to add some Journey Glaze to the large leaves, tie on some journey twine and top with one of the Heart of Gold Bloom Benefits.

Thanks for stopping in!

Nature Lover's Trail Mix

Hi everyone!  I've been working on a special order for a friend.  Her son is a cub scout and she wanted to bring a snack to the meeting for all the boys.   Since Monday was National Trail mix day, that is what she decided to make up.
 

 

We went with the cello bags thinking it would be the easiest way to hand out the goodies, so I thought... why not try out my new Bread Tag Die, "DI-0133".  I am in Loooove with this die!  It is going to be a staple in my gift giving this year.  It works perfect on cello bags, and we all know how easy it is to fill them up!!!

 

 

I cut the tag out of Hazelnut Blend CS, cut a second Bread Tag out of patterned paper that you can find in the Journey Basics Neutral pack "PP-0015".  I trimmed about a 1/8" of the patterned paper and glued it down.  Then I pulled out my new Autumn Time stamp set, "SS-147" and the matching die "Di-00121", inked the oak leaf cluster with the Oatmeal Cookie IP and Kiwi Slice IP and ran them thru my Journey Grand machine.  They were layered between a square of Hazelnut Blend CS and a square of Butter Cream CS that I had stamped with a stamp from the Scenic View set, "SS-0195".

I finished it off with some Journey Twine, a Star Frame element, and Cocoa Powder gingham ribbon.

 

 

I made a few extras so I am listing them in my Etsy store if you wanted to buy the already made.
