The Male Room Guest Designer - Challenge #8 - Paper Piecing

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to be joining The Male Room as their guest for Challenge#8 - Paper Piecing. 

On to my card. I love Lawn Fawn and those who follow me, kind of get that feeling.  This card is no different.  I have waited a long time for the Happy Harvest set but I was finally able to have it in my collection.

I started out with the leafy tree backdrop an ink blended the leaves with red, green orange distress inks, brown distress ink for the tree and two different greens for the stitched hills. I cut out a piece of watercolour pattern paper and used it for the fall sky and added it to the card base. I took the corn stocks and stamped them in the background with a light yellow ink and stamped the sentiment from the same set with black ink.

For my scarecrow, I used patterned paper to piece his hat, overalls and shirt. To make the pieces look seamless I ran my Momento black marker around the edges to hide the white of the paper.  I then colouring in his face, hands and feet with my copics. I then popped him up with foam tape and added him to the card and called it done.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  We hope you'll join us for our paper piecing challenge.

Happy crafting!!

Lawnscaping Challenge 67 - Pattern Plan

Hi everyone,

Today I am joining the Pattern Play challenge over on the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog.

Here is the card I made for this challenge.

I used the "our friendship grows" stamp set and stamped it out on some CTMH pattern paper for the sunflower, leaves and flower pot.   I used Recollections paper and the blue paper is Bassill (sorry, I don't have the name) this came in one of my CKOM from Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for all you do - card.

Hello again!

Wow!  Three posts in the same morning!!!  Thank goodness for holidays and a cloudy day!

Here is a card I made for one of the ladies in my church...shhhh I haven't given her the card yet!  ; )

I used Recollections kraft card stock and the SSS All seasons tree die.  I love this die but it is a labour of love as I had to take about two days to figure our a shim so that it would cut out all the little leaves but I finally got it and I love it.  I cut the tree out of three different colours of card stock and paper pieced them on to make it like a fall tree.  Totally worth it, don't you think?

I used the SSS stamp set "Inside and Out Sayings" designed my Kristina Werner.  I didn't show the inside of this card and I wrote a personal message but I love the sentiments the stamp set comes with.

I stamped the sentiment with CTMH Cocoa ink.

Hope you enjoyed the card as I enjoyed making it.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon.
