Etsy Inspired #54

I am so excited that I got some good stamping time in this afternoon! It is so much of a relaxing thing to just let the creative juices flow and NOT worry about anything else for a while! ;) I created this card for the Etsy Inspired Challenge #54. The featured shop is I Heart Flowers...totally gorgeous, inspiring stuff!!

I knew I wanted to use my new Basic Grey Indian Summer papers... I didn't think I would really like this line at first, but now I'm totally in love! LOL! Isn't that just the way it works? The card base is SU Chocolate Chip, and the patterned paper is layered on Crushed Curry. I used a large Jillibean Soup Harvest Bean Seed felt flower...this was the main thing I pulled from the inspiration...the big, soft, velvety flowers in rich colors! The center of the flower is a Build a Brad (SU) with the same Indian Summer paper. The "hey" sentiment was created with Pink Paislee Chocolate Alpha Stickers, and a few Wine Rhinestones were added to the top of the patterned paper for a little balance and bling!

On another note, I thought I'd share a cute (sad, though!) picture of Katy... She got her finger slammed (and I mean SLAMMED!) in the storm door at her preschool on Friday, and Drew took her for her first x-ray! Luckily, her bones are still soft and pliable, so there was no broken bone! She's still swollen and bruised, but she's using that finger normally now! Look at her cute sticker:

For my card, I chose to use the NEW Basic Grey Indian Summer papers. Boy, are they gorgeous! Trust me, if you love fall, this captures the feelings inspired by fall perfectly!! For my card base, I used the new SU In Color Soft Suede (the textured cardstock). I layered on the Indian Summer for both of my patterned paper pieces. I also sprayed on a little Tuscan Sun Shimmerz Spritz to the large background piece of patterned paper to give a subtle gold shimmer to my card. You cannot tell because the strips are so thin, but the paper that the sentiment is on is actually a fall leaf pattern! Like this:

There are several colors of that beautiful pattern in the 6x6 paper pad! Love that. For the focal image, I used my *favorite* thing from this Basic Grey release (okay, ONE of my favorites!! LOL!)... The felt tree from the Indian Summer Woolies! Isn't it totally gorgeous? Even Drew (my husband) was wowed by it! The sentiment, which I embossed with Gold EP, comes from the Unity Store Kit, Everything Extraordinary. What a fabulous set! One thing Angela really know how to do well (although she does seem to do EVERYTHING well!) is find the best quotes for her stamps! This one is so perfect... "In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary"! Next to each part of the sentiment, I added a single Bronze Rhinestone to complete the sketch and add more warmth.

Okay, now it's your turn...

All For One

Happy Sunday, everyone! Sundays are great days here in the Cheshire household, but they are very busy!! Awana Club starts back up tonight at church, so we'll be leaving in a bit for that! Cameron is old enough for Awana this year, so this is his first night! :) Anyway... this won't be a long post for that reason!

I just love this new cling Fluffles stamp from Stampendous, Fluffles Musketeer! So adorable!! :) And do you see the stitching around my card? That's a stamp, too! I really love my Zigzag Stitch stamp from Odd Bird Planet. I HAVE finally figured out the sewing machine, but it's so cool to be able to stamp on a stitched border! The sword (and a few other accents) are actually painted with Gold Glimmer Shimmerz, and the paper is NEW from Pink Paislee. It's the Twilight collection!

Stamps: Fluffles Musketeer, OBP Noel's Zigzag Stitch. Paper: SU Kraft, Pink Paislee Twilight - Dusk. Accessories: Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Gold Glimmer Blingz Shimmerz, Pop-it Circles, Pink Paislee Twilight - Bella Brads.

*Oh, and I AM working on a tutorial for my pumpkin basket! I'll get it up as SOON as I possibly can!*
