Stampin' Up! Textured Notes for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

 Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a sketch challenge for you today and here is a thumbprint of what I created for our hop...

May be a graphic of text
                                                                     

                                                     

My card base is Old Olive Card Stock. I cut out a 2" circle to make a mask and sponged a piece of Basic White Card Stock with the soon retiring colors of Moody Mauve, Boho Blue and Wild Wheat. 

After removing the mask, I stamped the leaf from the Textured Notes Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow ink. 

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set in the soon retiring Pebbled Path ink. I cut it out with a die from the Countryside Corners set (on the Last Chance list) and sponged and edged it with the remaining retiring color, Copper Clay.

Just in case you didn't see my post from yesterday, I will share it here as well. This will be my last hop with the team and I will be discontinuing as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Stamping is still the love of my life and I plan to continue creating cards but not posting except for once a month on the design team for Creative Creases Challenge. (I'm tired of what Blogger does to my posts/links and I'm too old to learn Word Press...lol!) Right now I know this is the right choice for me but I could change my mind down the road. I thank all my followers and visitors who have supported me over the past 10 years.

Again, thank you for stopping by! Clicking on the "next" button will take you to Akiko. Clicking on the names listed below will take you directly to team members and their projects. I hope you enjoy all the creativity.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Expressions for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a theme challenge for you today and here is what I created for our hop...




Let's take a closer look at my fall leaves, shall we?
I was inspired by a card created by Sarah Edwards on You Tube. My card base is Copper Clay cardstock with a panel of Very Vanilla that I stamped with the oak leaf from the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set, which became available to customers yesterday. I outlined some of the Wild Wheat inked leaves with the matching Stamp N' Write marker.

Next I adhered a mat of Wild Wheat cardstock. Adhered to that is a piece from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. Take a look at this paper...isn't it gorgeous?

The sentiment is from the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set and is stamped in Copper Clay ink. I stamped it on scrap Very Vanilla and mounted it on a scrap of Copper Clay. I tucked two small Woven Golden Leaves underneath.

For the inside...

It's officially fall, yippee! Now if cooler weather would play along, I'll be quite content. I am very content with the hummingbirds...
