I really like this card.  It is simple, yet it speaks to me.   This is a great way to use multiple pattern papers without being too busy!!

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp October 2013 Card Kit
Archival Potting Soil Ink Pad
My Mind’s Eye Wicked Merchant Malvado Enamel Dots

On this card I wanted to use the forest animals.  So I created a rosette with a tiny fox in the center.  I really like the wood grain paper as it gives a feel of the forest!!!

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp October 2013 Card Kit
Stampin Up! Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Green
Archival Potting Soil Inkpad

I challenged myself to make at least 3 cards from the monthly card kit.  It was easy with this one because I love Autumn and Squirrels!!!  LOL

I really loved the crisp blue paper with trees byt it begged for a little red cardinal sitting on a branch!   To bring out the red bird I framed the paper with red cardstock.  It just peeks out from the side and frames the little banner!  I used glossy accents on the bird to give it a little depth.

Supplies:

red cardstock
glossy accents

LOL, OK, I never have enough time, was busy working on something else and realized that I needed to get this online by midnight ET.   I dont have the pop up part yet (been ordered) but I wanted to get the image of the card out there.

I have also posted this to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge!!!  Check them out  http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge

I just got some new Hero Arts stamps…. and for those who know me, Autumn and Halloween are my favorite.   I think if I divided my stamps out, half of them would fall into this  catagory!!!!   Some people love summer, I love Autumn.  There is nothing like wind blowing leaves from trees that have turned gold, brown, orange and yellow.  Pumpkins, tons of pumpkin, pumpkin patches, pumpkin pie, just any thing with pumpkins.  Warm scarves.  Snuggling under a warm blanket.   Oh How I love Autumn.

To do this card I used my distress inks.    I did a light color and brought it in towards the middle.  Then I used a red/rust color and brought it in about an inch and then the edges with a brown color.   I then used the lucscious yummy colors from Wendy Vecchi from Ranger.  I had been eyeing them for some time.  I went to Beverly Fabrics to pick up some Glossy Accents and they had all the new colors AND they were on sale for 30% off.  Yahoo!!!!   I love Beverly’s and my bank has a deal that gives me cash back of 10% on my purchases.  Can’t get any better than that.   Because the new colors were screaming autumn and leaves I took out the new Scattering Leaves stamps from Hero Arts.  I just randoming stamped them with the new colors around the edges.

Supplies:

Marshmellow cardstock from Bazzil
Scattering Leaves Stamp Set from Hero Arts
Leaves Autumn Stamp Set from Hero Arts
Distress Ink by Tim Holtz for Ranger Wild Honey, Ripe Persimmon, Gathered Twigs
Archival Ink by Wendy Vecchi for Ranger: Potting Soil, Orange Blossom, Red Geranium, Fern Green

I enjoyed making this card.   I liked making the embellishment flower.   I have not tried the felt (so afraid if I use it, it will be gone….not that I cant buy more!)  So this was a fun card!!!
