Blog Hop Fall Happenings

Welcome to my little part in the SU Blog Hop. This Hop theme is Fall Happenings. I love the Fall! It is my favorite season. I only wish it wasn't followed by old man Winter!

Base card 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 More Mustard
Sunflower background stamp was colored with More Mustard watercolor wonder crayon, then misted with water. I stamped it on watercolor paper. Next I spritzed it with vanilla and gold Smooch Spritz then threw on some clear embossing powder and heat set. Then I used the color spritzer tool with Early Espresso marker to add some more spots. Wreath from Warmest of Wishes was stamped on Old Olive. I love how this stamp goes with the large scallop and circle punch. So easy!!!! I popped the center of the sunflower. On the side I used Tasteful Trim die and layered the two different scallops and finished with More Mustard flowers with linen thread. Word from Perfectly Penned Holiday. I am very please how this turned out.

Doily Scraps

This card sort of evolved from scraps. I had this scallop circle Daffodil Delight flower on my desk for over a week now, and a scrap of brown ribbon that I thought wasn't long enough for anything. I decided I needed to clear the desk so it was now or never to put a card together.

I stamped the doily background with Pear Pizzazz on Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped another doily using Cherry Cobbler. Cut half of that doily out and glued it on top of the pear one. I wanted to make the card more vintage so I spritzed it with Chocolate Chip marker using the spritzer tool. The flower was also spritzed with vanilla smooch spritz and the chocolate chip marker. Doily layer, and word was adhered with pop dots. Not entirely sure I'm happy with it, but the flower and ribbon is off my desk now:)

Techo Challenge

Well it has been since forever that I joined in on Mary Jo's Lunchtime sketch challenge. Thought it was about time I did. You can see her blog and other great sketches here

Cardstock used: Bravo Burgundy, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Paisley Petals designer paper
Tags till Christmas, Word stamp from Pennant Parade
Access: Color Spritzer tool (forgot I even owned one), Bravo Burgundy marker, vanilla shimmer Smooch Spritz, Always Artichoke seam binding, brads, crafter's tool kit, pop dots.

I haven't used the spritzer tool in a month of Sundays (my mom's expression) so I enjoyed playing with that again. Want the Shimmery white cardstock? Just buy the vanilla shimmer Smooch Spritz. Turns white cardstock into shimmery white. Pretty cool. Special thanks to my upline Lori for sending me one!
