Falling For Leaves

Good Morning everyone!  Well...I totally FLAKED yesterday!  A couple of DEAR girlfriends came over and we visited and worked in my workshop!  My workshop is SO MESSY!  I have so many things going on that I can't find anything!  These dear friends helped me look for my Stitched Framelits for at least half an hour before I realized they were in my house because I was working on some things while watching TV with my son!  UGGHHHH!!!! They are TROOPERS...and they're so good at laughing with me instead of at me!  I am so blessed to have great friends who understand and embrace my chaos!!!

Today's project is another card we are making in my October classes!  The Whisper White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  Next there is a 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock attached to the card base with dimensionals.  The Frosted Floral designer paper measures 2 1/2" X 4".  I used the Falling for Leaves stamp set to stamp the leaf images onto a Stitched Shapes circle in Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink.  Last I used the Detailed Leaves framelits to cut one leaf with the Frosted Floral designer paper and attached it to a circle with mini dimensionals and then attached the circle to the card base with dimensionals.  To finish it off, I tied a piece of Linen Thread into a bow around the stem of the leaf.  The Thankful sentiment is also from the Falling for Leaves stamp set and is stamped in Soft Suede.

That's it for today!  Thanks BUNCHES for stopping by!  Have a FANTASTIC rest of your day and a WONDERFUL weekend!

Falling For Leaves

Hi everyone!  Dang...I thought I was gonna get to create all day today BUT...I have to go grocery shopping!! It's homecoming today at our high school so I have to be fast!  We have a parade that shuts the highway down for about 30 minutes...it's so FUN!  So I have to hurry and get going!  

Before I go, I want to share something that my up-upline, Stella, shared on our team Facebook page!  I had something else to share with you but this is so cool I couldn't wait for you to see it!  It's a GROOVY technique that will be fun to try and play around with this weekend!

Here's what you do!  Take a piece of watercolor paper, your favorite color of inks and your Aqua Painter filled with water or rubbing alcohol (rubbing alcohol dries faster than water!). Paint your watercolor paper and let it dry!  You can paint it anyway you like, it doesn't have to be circles.  I'm gonna experiment this weekend if I can find a minute....a few of my adult kids are coming for the weekend...hence the need to go grocery shopping!  You can also use your Stampin' Blend Markers or your Stampin' Write Markers and a spritzer (to spray your paper)!

Let it dry....and the.......VIOLA!  


Aren't these leaves BEAUTIFUL!!!  They are cut with the Detailed Leaves Thinlit Dies!

You can get just the dies or you can get it as a bundle as pictured below!
