Steampunk Fall

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made using this month's freebie over on the Conjurer of Dreams blog and the new Rustic Fall digital set.  Now as one who is SO DONE with summer and it's hot temps, wildfires and hot down-sloping winds, I cannot wait for cooler temps and the changing of the seasons. 

I started out by combining the digital elements in Photoshop before printing my finished image on Neenah white card stock before layering and adding copper brads then setting aside.  I then printed another image out at 5x7 size before adhering it to a white Neenah card base.  Taking some burlap ribbon I found at Dollar Tree©, I added a strip to my card base using Ranger Glossy Accents.  When that was dry, I added my layered image panel using pop dots before a few dusty Marvy and Martha Stewart punches to create a floral spray using leaves to fit the fall theme.  I then took my punched elements/snippets and rubbed then lightly over a Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink pad using tweezers.  The final touch was adding a little copper ice stickles to the flower centers.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Varada Sharma. I would like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card today is featuring Varada's digital stamps Succulent Thrillers and Pretty Planters.

I started out by combining all of the images I wanted, plus saying, in PSE before printing the combined images on Neenah white card stock then colored using both Prismacolor and Copic markers.  Once that was finished, I layered the colored image making sure to distress the edges of each layer using a paper distresser tool before adding some olive brads I've had in my stash for years.  As an afterthought, I went back and lightly blended some mauve mist, stormy sky and olive green inks using blending brushes.  My card is dry embossed using a Cuttlebug© Moroccan screen embossing folder and my Big Shot©.  Once I had adhered the layered image panel using glue dots, I pulled out some Meraki Sparkle Green Illusion© gems and adhered those using Bearly Art Precision Glue©.  I then color spritzed mauve mist and old olive markers over the entire card before adding Ranger Glossy Accents to the "tiles" on the flower pot as the final touch.
