Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 196 Autumn

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #196 - Autumn

Kim is hosting our challenge today, and the theme is Autumn. 

As usual anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece, some home decor, as long as it's Autumnal themed.

Please remember our 15 total challenge rule! 

Apples, falling leaves and the colour orange say fall to me, maybe not in the same time frame but certainly a fall occurrence. 

Please join us at  Crafty Cardmakers for our autumn  challenge!

Birthday Card for Friend

Here is a card I made for a friend who has a winter birthday.  It was CAS and quick to make. I embossed the black background with a polka dot embossing folder and used the backside so it would be more flat. Die cut the trees and the friend sentiment and glued them on.   Added the half pearls and I was done.  As usual it packed a lot more punch in real life.

Crafty Cardmakers - Embossing

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #177 - Embossing Dry or Heat
New challenge and such a fun one, you get to use an old technique and one of my favourites - embossing. I stamped my background with an old Stampin' Up background rubber stamp and heat embossed it. Then using designer paper I added a die cut circle upon which I placed a Michael's Burlap flower. I added some twine, a tag and was done. Pretty easy and I quite like it. The tag was from a paper stack and I added the ribbon and the flower for some well needed punch.
 Note: I did   dry emboss the first layer of the card upon which I placed the heat embossed front layer as it looked too plain.
