I hope everyone had a great weekend! The weather was really nice here. I also got to spend a lot of time in my craft room on my day off and I got a LOT accomplished! Yay!!
Do you know what I love most about stamping and blogging and such?? It's the really cool people I've met and the friends that I've made through this craft!! One of those people is Tara from Inking on the Edge!! She is one of my 'invisible friends' as my family likes to call them!! haha!! We've never met but we chat through email quite a bit, we like a lot of the same things, especially stamping related and I just know, that if we ever met in real life and got to hang out, we'd get along famously!! She likes to talk as much as me though, so you'd probably never tear us apart!! haha!!
Anyway, we both got our new Magnolia Fall Stamp Club Kit last week, so we decided to challenge each other to use one of the stamps in it. One of the probelms I am having right now is finding time to use stamps that I don't HAVE to use for Design Team work or special requests or what have you. This time I got to make a card just because I wanted to!! So fun!!
The stamp we chose to use is Tilda gathering mushrooms. I think she has mushrooms and some flowers in her apron there, at least that's how I coloured them. I pulled out my 6x6 Sugared paper pad by Basic Grey because I thought it had some nice autumn colours in it and got busy!!
I stamped Tilda on Wausau bright white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her in using coordinating Copic markers. I also stamped some of the larger mushrooms from an older release, coloured them and cut them out. I used Purely Pomegranate for the 6x6 base and layered several of the dps and used So Saffron for matting. I added some different Prima flowers with yellow brads, tied some stitched grosgrain ribbon in River Rock across the middle and added the Magnolia sentiment using my large oval punch. I finished her off by adding some highlights with white acrylic paint!!
Ain't she cute?? I really love the way she turned out and the colours are so rich. A perfect fall card!! Thanks so much for the challenge Tara!!!! Let's do it again next month!! Mwah!!!
