When Barb Engler contacted me and asked me to be a guest designer on the newest Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge, I was speechless. Well, that’s not true. I was beyond honored, thrilled, and humbled and may have danced a little jig as I called out the exciting news to hubby. No drama here! 😜 The theme for the new challenge is FALL IS IN THE AIR. I was tasked to create several cards using an Autumn theme and at least one SSS exclusive product on each card.
------
While my northern friends and family get to actually experience the joys of fall, we here in Texas are still sweltering and would die of heat stroke if we pulled out our sweaters and scarfs. The leaves haven’t begun to change and we pretend to join in by drinking and eating a variety of pumpkin flavored foods. All this to say that I am creating fall leaves from a sketchy memory! 😂
------
Card Two (of Two) was created using the SSS “Ornate Leaves” stamp set from their recent Stamptember release. The leaves and pumpkin were stamped using a Misti and Ranger’s Black Archival Ink on Tim Holtz Watercolor paper. I watercolored them using Distress Inks and then returned them to the Misti to stamp them again using Versamark ink and heat emboss them with Clear embossing powder. I fussy cut the pieces but they have just released a Die set to match in their Making Spirits Bright release. The background is done using Distress Inks.
