Altenew Fall Inspiration Challenge Card




















For this card I used a variety of Altenew products: Create A Wreath Die, Praying for You die, Pocket full of Sunshine cube ink-Honey  Drizzle,Red Cosmos Mini Cube Ink-Ruby RedCreative Edges: Lace dies (I used 2), Luxurious Motifs 3D Embossing Folder on black cardstock. I used Distress Oxide in Carved Pumpkin. As seen in the pictures, I inked on smooth Neenah white cardstock, and the die cut the many branches from the Create A Wreath die set. The oval and the sentiment die are from mirror gold which is my fav' gold but is a pain to see and appreciate in photos due the glare. I used my Xyron 510 to make everything sticky and then liquid glue to make it permanent. The May Arts Twine was made into a bow and added with a flower gem.

Birthday Hexagon layout


                                    

I used a sketch on ACOT, here above with several different papers pieces: Echo Park It's your birthday (girl), sticker sheet and Journaling Cards; Echo Park Birthday Girl Journaling Cards; Pebbles Happy Cake Day Make a Wish. I fussy cut all of the hexagon shapes. Also, popped up the cupcake and kitty cat with foam squares for embellishments and enamel dots. The twist with this sketch was to include some type of bug, bee, butterfly or something small but not a big animal. I used the kitty and the cupcake, which are both small.

A Cherry On Top Challenge: Becky Fleck Sketch Challenge #343

Using the sketch and Simple Stories Vintage Farmhouse Garden collection, I chose different papers and chipboard embellishments.

The "Looking Good" is made on my Cricut with the Soiree Grace lettering sized very small. The scallop border punch is from Stampin' Up. Black Memento ink was used as well.
