Blog Hop Time!



Well since it's the 17th of the month (or 18th if you're in Australia!) it's time for a bit of blog hopping over at Waltzingmouse. This month the theme is Autumn so I grabbed a few bits and pieces from Crate Paper, based my design on this weeks sketch challenge and came up with this:






I've used a couple of stamp sets - the little leaf and sentiment is from the Frame It set (which I was lucky enough to win a few weeks ago - thank you Claire) and the dies have been stamped using the Very Vintage Labels 1 set. I stamped the leaf in bronze ink first, then embossed it in gold, added a sprig of die cut leaves and a Basic Grey flower.

Enjoy your hopping and thanks so much for any comments!

  6. I'm so glad that you were able to use your new set that you won from WMS in this lovely project for today. Your matted frames with the mushroom paper are adorable, and your flower with the die cut foliage looks amazing. Thanks so much for joining us for these two Waltzingmouse challenges.

  7. What a wonderful fall card! I love mushroompaper and your take on the sketch too!!!
    You don't need at tutorial for the trees; I simply inked the trees yellow and then dipped the bottom part in my aged mahogany pad and the top part in my peeled paint pad - and stamped. I just listened to Timholtzhen he said you won't contaminate your distressinks by doing that so I've done it quite a lot lately (-:
    Thanks for playing with us at WMSC - hope to see you next week again! Hugs, Karin
