TCC200 Give Thanks

 

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our new #200 {Autumn Chill} Challenge at the The Card Concept!

Our inspiration photo for this month invokes feelings of the autumn chill in the air, doesn’t it?

We are looking forward to seeing what inspires your card! Will it be the overall theme, the actual elements (book, coffee leaves sweater, etc.), the colors, textures or something else?

I was inspired by the rich fall colors, textures and leaves for my Clean and Layered card.

If you have not already visited us at The Card Concept, I hope you will find the time to do so.  Gorgeous inspiration from the rest of my DT sisters!  Create a card and join us!

This was a fun card to create:

Trim the purple background paper from the Craft Consortium Over The Rainbow paper pad to approx. 4 ¼” x 5 ½”, emboss with the Foliage 3D embossing folder and then die cut the corner with the TH Mixed Media #1 die.

Lightly sand the embossed panel to raise the detail.

Trim the panel to approx. 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to a 4 ⅛” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock, then mount onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” black card front.

Adhere the panel to a white card base.

Die cut the leaves using the TH Fall Foliage Thinlit Dies from a piece of the orange/yellow designer paper from the Craft Consortium Sunset Ink Drops 6x6 paper pad. Crush the leaves by hand a bit to distress.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the verse sentiment from the Give Thanks stamp set with Versafine Black Onyx ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the sentiment with a circle die, die cut another circle a bit larger from black cardstock and layer the sentiment onto the black circle.

Adhere the sentiment to the card front with dimensional foam.

Add the die cut leaves around and under the circle and finish off the card with a few black rhinestones.

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Design Team have been sharing a variety of beautiful fall/autumn cards.    

Again, if you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

I decided to create a fall card using the Tim Holtz Fall Foliage Thinlits Dies along with the Welcome Fall stamp set and the Craft Consortium Sunset Ink Drops 6x6 Paper Pad.

This paper has such great colors and textures- perfect for fall leaves and you do not need to watercolor!  Easy, peasy. 

Die cut various leaves from a piece of the Sunset Ink Drops 6x6 Paper using the different dies from the Tim Holtz Fall Foliage Thinlits set. Crumple gently by hand and set aside.

Emboss a piece of white cardstock with the Sizzix 3D Texture Fades A6 Foliage embossing folder. Trim and mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trim again and mount onto a piece of the Craft Consortium Sunset 6x6 paper.  FYI- I used same piece of paper that I had used to die cut all of the leaves as the final background panel of the main card front, love it when that happens!

Trim a piece of black cardstock for the horizontal panel.

De-static the horizontal panel with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiment from the Welcome Fall stamp set with Versamark, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Layer the horizontal panel onto the card front, add the die cut leaves tucking a few around the edge of the panel.

Use a water brush with frost white shimmer paint to add shimmer to the leaves and finish off the card with orange rhinestones.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be joining the Double D Challenges "Collaboration with Altenew Stencils/Anything Goes Challenge and the Can You Handle the Pressure? "Anything Goes Embossing with a twist of Nautical Challenge.
