Vintage Leaves

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well, I didn't get all my cards mailed in time, so some of you will receive them today.  Hand delivered.  Today's card is a technique called Joseph's Coat.  I got my inspiration from Pinterest, just do a search - Stampin' Up Josephs Coat.  I didn't link anybody specific, because I had looked at so many in the process.

 

For the background you need to sponge with Crushed Curry, Peekaboo Peach, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Dapper Denim, & Wisteria Wonder.

You need to be very generous when adding color to the background.  You want it to be very vibrant.

Then stamp the background with Versa Mark Ink.  Now I had a little mistake while stamping.  I accidentally stamped in the watermelon Wonder instead of Versa Mark.(that's what happens when you have a ton of inks of on your desk at the same time.)  So...I went with it.  Stamp 3 times with Versa Mark, stamp once in Watermelon Wonder then into Versa Mark.  Clean stamp & repeat.  Now you can add embossing powder.  Then take the new sponge brayer & Early Espresso & cover the entire piece.  Use the brayer in both directions so you don't get any lines.  Everything under the embossing will pop thru.

Die cut one leaf from Dapper Denim & out of the middle of Crushed Curry stamp & emboss the leaf with Watermelon Wonder & die cut it out.  You will be covering up what you cut out so your not going to see it, & you are saving paper.

Vintage Leaves

Today I decided to change it up a little.  Before we know it Thanksgiving will be in the review mirror, & Black Friday will be on our minds.

I wanted to go back to an old favorite the Vintage Leaves, but also wanted to show a new technique.  Well at least new to me.  Stencil Embossing...yes another way to use something you already have.

Se the background, that was done with a stencil.  This is how Tammy Tutterow did it.

Well..I didn't do it quite the same way.  I did not have all the same pads & I wanted to be able to do this in a class.  So in place of the silicone pad & the impressions pad I used 2 pieces of cardboard.  Yes, it worked.  Now you may have to adjust your card amount depending on how thick of cardboard you are using.

On Whisper White dry emboss with the stencil, then sponge with Old Olive, Peekaboo Peach & Crushed Curry.  I also sponged the same colors on a separate sheet, stamped 2 leaves & embossed with copper.  Then die cut them out.

 I also die cut out a small leaf out of the copper.

Serene Scenery & Vintage Leaves

Hello again,

I am finally getting a chance to get back on & do a post.  I don't know what happened last week.  Just very busy getting ready for the Fall Extravaganza on Sat.

I have been working on cards for the Serene Scenery display, & this worked perfect for 2 different challenges.

 

TGIF Challenge

The Paper Players

I used a piece from the Serene Scenery, stamped with Early Espresso & 2 different leaves from the Vintage Leaves set.

Stamped 3 leaves on Very Vanilla with Early Espresso & added a little sponging.  Attached a Mini Pinecone with Linen Thread.
