Eureka! Stamps Challenge Vintage/Distress

Hello everyone!

It's time for another 

Eureka! Stamps Challenge

This weeks challenge theme is 

"Vintage/Distress"

I chose to used

"Open Maple Leaf" (#10501)

"Lg Open Oak Leaf" (#10402)

"Just a note..." (#6405)

all from 

Eureka! Stamps

For both my cards I stamped the leaf images onto 

white card stock and used a variety of 

Distress Inks to color them with sponge

daubers.  I then fussy cut them.

The leaves are mounted on handmade paper that

I tore to size and colored the edges with 

Distress Inks.

I hope my cards have inspired you to 

play along with this weeks

Eureka! Stamps Challenge.

All the particulars are on the

Eureka! Stamps Blog.

Go check it out and see all the design team

inspiration.

And stop by the

Eureka! Stamps Store

and I'm sure you'll find something that will

 fit the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Hope your day is awesome leaf card

 Hello!

Today I have a fall themed card

that I used a little different technique on.

For my images I used

"Open Maple Leaf" (#10501) from

Eureka! Stamps

"Hope your day is awesome"

sentiment is from the

"All Occasions Banner" stamp and die set from

Simon Says Stamp

I used Perfect Layers to easily cut equal

sized mats.

 

I stamped the maple leaf randomly onto the

kraft card stock with VersaMark ink to make

a background paper.

For the large leaf, I heat embossed the leaf onto

glossy white card stock,

 I dropped alcohol inks onto a craft mat,

then swiped the glossy piece, with the embossed leaf,

across the alcohol inks.

Next I placed a clean piece of paper over

the embossed leaf and ironed it with a hot craft iron.

This melts the embossing and removes it

from the glossy card stock

leaving a white image.

I then fussy cut the leaf.

I used a small leaf punch on some scraps

 of the inked glossy card stock to scatter over the card.

The sentiment was stamped onto

white card stock and cut with the banner die.

Once I got the front panel created I used

Perfect Layers

to cut the red mat. 

It's so easy to get equal cuts with these fabulous tools,

with no measuring.

Follow my link to their site where you can watch a video

on how to use these amazing tools.

You will also see there is a code for a discount on your purchase.

 

Come back and check my blog often as there will be a

give away of a set of Perfect Layers rulers soon.

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

 

 

 

Fall Leaves/Feathers challenge

Hello blog friends!

It's time for another Eureka! Stamps Challenge.

Follow that link to see all the particulars so you can participate.

This weeks theme is

"Fall Leaves/Feathers"

I chose to use

"Open Maple Leaf"  (#10501) from

Eureka! Stamps

for my card.

I stamped the Open Maple Leaf onto

pages from an old book.

I love doing this and have a couple old books

just for that purpose.

I stamped them with

brown ink and colored them with water color crayons.

I then fussy cut them and adhered them to brown card stock.

It was a bit too plain so I stamped the seed part of the

image, colored and fussy cut that and added it to the card.

Still needed something and I found some buttons

in my stash for that corner.

Once I added the white lines

I was happy with the card.

I hope you've been inspired in some way today!

Thanks for visiting, leave a comment if you will,

and come again soon.
