Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves ~ Sketch Saturday

 

Hello & welcome!  Today's card was created for Sketch Saturday's Challenge #764.  This is the first day of the challenge and you have two weeks to play along.  The optional twist for this card challenge is to twist or distress something.  I STILL usually forget to check to see what the optional twist is before I start creating.

For this sketch, in this season, I thought the Autumn Leaves stamps & dies were pretty perfect.  I started by adhering a piece of Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper to my Copper Clay card base.  I love the rich tones in this paper!

I thought about stamping the leaves, but decided using the coordinating dies worked better for this card.  What do you think? 

This is a super layout that will lend itself well to all seasons and many stamps/dies!  I hope you will play along with us and share your creation over on the Sketch Saturday Blog Post for this sketch.

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Embraced with Love ~ Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and WELCOME!  I'm so happy to get to play along with so many creative stampers in the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop this month.  I love being a part of fun hops like this one with other stampers sharing what we love to create! You can find links to the other blog posts near the end of this post - make sure to check them all out.  I'm sure you will be inspired, as I always am, by the other posts in this fun blog hop!

This month's challenge was a new sketch, still my favorite type of challenge! It's always fun to see how many different ways a single sketch can be interpreted.  I often revisit the sketches when creating new cards with new stamping supplies. 

For this card I wanted to use a new stamp set, Embraced with Love.  Looking at the flowers the kangaroo was holding, I immediately thought of the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.  This is just perfect!  I love that Stampin' Up! is so great about creating products that coordinate, not just with other new things, but also with older products. 

There was a bonus for me with getting to use this DSP, it allowed me to used one of my favorite color combinations...Highland Heather and Shaded Spruce!  I love these colors so much I'm thinking about redoing our bedroom with similar colors...one day.
