Picadilly Paper Pieced Pumpkin

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I dare ya to say the title 5 times fast!  ;)

I'm playing along with the girls in today's F4A81 challenge over @ Split Coast Stampers.

We were asked to paper piece our image. I used the "Autumn Blessings" stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps and some Basic Grey "Picadilly" paper.

I stamped the image on Brilliant White cardstock from Discount Card Stock, then again on the Picadilly paper form their Card Kit. I then shaded the pumpkin with Prismacolor watercolor pencils then colored the rest of the image.

I used the "Autumn Blessings" clear stamp because I had it handy, but this image is also available for instant download! Why wait? ;)

Buy "Autumn Blessings" digi for just $2.50!

 

 I used lots of Ranger Ink, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Helmar, and other company's products to create my card.

The cardstock is Discount Card Stock's-  Brilliant White and the pretty Light Blue Satin Swiss Dots is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The "Sentimental Ewe" digi set is available now for instant download @ Clear Dollar Stamps for just $4.00.

I invite you to head on over to the Clearly iStamp blog and see the beautiful samples the other girls have created to share with you.

The Winner of My Basic Grey Candy and a Quick & Fun Card! :)

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I checked in on the girls at Split Coast Stampers girls this morning and they have a fun "Crossing Strips" challenge going where they want us to use strips of paper. I had the wonderfully vibrant Indy Bloom  from Basic Grey already out on my work table for a top secret project  ;) so I decided to used some of it for my strips.

 I also punched the flowers from it. It's a very simple card but sometimes those are the funnest! :)
I inked all of the edges and stamped the sentiment with Ranger Ink's - Monarch Orange and Aqua Marine Archival Ink Pads.
The brad is from my stash. I know it's Basic Grey from a while back but can't remember the collection. ;(
The pretty Mauve Satin ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
The card base is Brilliant White from Discount Card Stock.
The shinny Sage Green Pearl is from Want2Scrap.

OK....on to the fun part!

The winner of my Picadilly Page Kit and extra goodies is......

  

Alison! :)

Alison, please email me with your snail mail address so I can get this headed your way.

Thanks again to Basic Grey for sending me extra goodies to give as blog candy! :)

I wish you all could have won because I truly appreciate everyone who drops by and leaves a comment.

Basic Grey also sent me a Picadilly Card Kit to give away so look for that one soon! :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

True :D

Time For Another Really Reasonable Ribbon's Challenge ~ "I Got You Babe!"

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Happy September 1st!

It's the first of the month so it's time for another Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings Challenge.

Your challenge this time is "I Got You Babe". We will leave the interpretation up to you and look forward to seeing how creative you can get with it.  ;)

I also want to give a big shout out to Want2Scrap! They asked me to be a guest designer for them the month of September and sent me an awesome assortment of pretty bling to play with! Look for it on lots of my upcoming creations, including today's. ;)

For my challenge sample, I used the adorable #10294H-"Baby Bunny Stroller" and #1405F -"Welcome Baby!" stamps from Inky Antics.

The pretty papers are from Basic Grey's "Two Scoops" 6"x6" paper pad. It has sadly been retired but....it's available now as a digital download! Woohoo! :)

I thought the sweet Pastel Green Satin Swiss Dots ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, matched it PERFECTLY! :) Isn't it yummy?  :)

BTW...everyone always asks how I get my ribbons so perfect. My secret is the Bow-Easy. It is one of those tools that I just couldn't do without! :)

I used watercolors to color the image then added some dots to the buggy with Ranger Ink's- Yellow Pastel Studio Acrylic Paint. I also used some of their Pale Ochre, Veridian, and Sap Green Archival Inks on the edges of the image and sentiment banner. The banner is just hand cut and popped.

I also used PC1022 and PC938 Prismacolor pencils to draw some "plaid" on the buggy shade. 

I used a 3D balloon sticker from The Paper Studio, over the top of the balloon image for a little more dimension. I added some tiny heart buttons from my stash, where the image had round buttons.

True :D Tip of the day...Use white paint (I used Ranger Ink's) to draw the thread on your buttons to save time!

I did some detail accents with Sakura Gelly-Roll pens in Sky Star and Silver Star.

The image and frame were cut with circle and scalloped circle Nestabilities. I stitched around the border of the card with yellow thread and the finishing touches are the pretty yellow pearls. They are actually Want2Scrap's White Self-adhesive Pearls that I colored with a Y08 Copic for just the right shade I needed. I love buying lots of white or clear bling for this very purpose! :)

I hope you will head on over to our Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings blog to see what the other girls have created to inspire you. You could win a RRR gift certificate if you join in on the fun!

I also invite you to check out the Want2Scrap blog  and store. Thy have lots of fun stuff to play with!

Thanks for dropping by my friends!

I would so love to hear what you think about my card!  :)

Hugs,

True :D
