Window Cards

I've been having fun creating window cards for this month's Hero Arts contest. This first one uses their So Thankful clear set. I stamped the little acorns on patterned paper, colored the images with Copics and paper pieced them. The pumpkins and sentiment are also from the same set.




For the second card, I played with different colors of Perfect Pearls mixed with water. I first white embossed the Hero Arts Envelope Pattern on a piece of white cardstock. Then I sprayed 3 different Perfect Pearl-colored water, using Perfect Bronze, Forever Green and Sunflower Sparkle. I really love the shimmer! After the piece had dried, I used an EK leaf punch. I wanted to keep the rest of the card very simple so the leaves could take center stage.



Here's another photo, taken inside with a flash, to show more of the shimmer.




Thanks for stopping by! The weather is still amazing. Suppose to be 86 degrees today and 88 tomorrow! Come on Summer. . .keep hangin' in there! Have a great Saturday, everyone! :)

Fall Flowers?

I'm trying to ease myself into Autumn. It's not an easy thing to do when you LOVE summer as much as I do. Here in Minnesota, fall is a beautiful season with changing leaves, bright blue skies and crisp, fresh air. But it also means that Old Man Winter is just around the corner and after last year's winter season, I am DREADING that!

So, with this card, I'm gently easing into the season by using a mix of colors. Some more summery and some leaning toward the fall tones.



The beautiful, delicate lace and sweet butterfly are from my good friend, Heather. She sent them along with a few ATC's and I love them! Thank you again, Heather!

The Hero Arts flowers are stamped and colored on canvas. I used a small piece of patterned paper, punched it with a scroll punch and added it to the edge of the main panel. The stamped leaves, pearls and sentiment are all from Hero Arts too.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm feeling even better today and am getting SO excited for Scrapfest next week! Only 7 more days! Have a great weekend! :)
