CLEAN AND SIMPLY CHALLENGE ~~ SYMPATHY HEARTS

I made this card for today's CAS challenge over at Splitcoast. We were to make a sympathy card.

I used shimmery white card stock for my card base and punched out three hearts along the bottom. I placed some Bella Rose DSP behind my hearts so the patterned paper would show through.

I added a bit of Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon and stamped my sentiment with Chocolate Chip Classic ink. I added two more hearts that I punched out of the same DSP in the top corner.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps ~~ Words of Sympathy
Paper: Shimmery White, Bella Rose DSP
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Heart Punch (brand unknown), SU Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon, Paper Piercer

This was a quick and easy card!

MISTED AUTUMN LEAVES

This fall card was created for today's Ways to Use It challenge at Splitcoaststampers. Although it is cold enough here in Southern Ontario that it should have been a winter themed card. BRRRRRRRR.............................................................................................................................

I used my retired Stampin Up set called Fantastic Foilage. I used the Misting with Markers technique on this card. I coloured my stamp with my Dusty Durango marker then misted it with water before stamping it onto watercolour paper.

I like how it blurs the lines and how the colour runs and settles. I then cut it out with my oval Nestabilities.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin Up~Fantastic Foilage; Clear Dollar Stamps~Hello sentiment
Paper: Hot Off the Press DSP, Watercolour paper, Dusty Durango
Ink: Dusty Durango, Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: EK Success Fleur de lis border punch, Word Window punch, SU Satin chocolate chip ribbon, corduroy brads, ribbon, sponge daubers, dimensiionals


Thanks for looking! Hope are having warmer weather than we are!
