I stamped the same leaf image (all images by Inkadinkado) various times on the right side of the card using ink pads in Red, Yellow and Orange. Then, added the sentiment in brown and some sequins.
That simple! 'Cause I have to create 10 cards for the class! So they have to be CAS and fast! =)

I'm entering this cards in the following challenge (my third card...I think I never entered so many cards in one single challenge before!)



...at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (Use a Rubber or a Clear Stamp) and A Paperie Journey (One-Layer Wednesday 161-Show Me Your Colors).

I was watching my son N play with my mini square ink pads the other day and I "learned" a technique from him! It's a direct-to-paper technique...nothing new, but it was the way he did it! =)
He was taking the mini ink pads and tapping them directly on paper ("kinda" of violently, I must say...), leaving these little squares with distressed colors.

So, I stamped a pumpkin (Paper Inspirations) in brown first. Then, I did the squares on each side with Red, Orange and Yellow (not so violently...):


Finally, I stamped another pumpkin, cut it out, used the mini ink pads to color it and adhered it on top of the first pumpkin.

I made this accordion album for my cousin, who has a baby daughter...




You might be asking "where is the front cover?"...
I'm asking the same question here...I guess I forgot to take a picture of the front cover...
Oh, well!!!
I would have to travel half the world to get that picture taken! Maybe one of these days I'll go visit my cousin...

Have a nice day!

And no, I did not make the cake...I placed the banner and the dinosaurs on it, though! =)

I used the Washi Wonder Hostess Stamp Set from CTMH, different color ink pads, monogram stickers from DCWV and baker's twine.
I'm also entering this banner in the "Brown Paper Packages Tied Up with Strings" Challenge at H2H CTMH Challenge Blog. I just love that song, don't you?
OK, you might have noticed...there aren't any brown paper packages...
I guess my song should go like this..."White Paper Banners Tied Up with Strings..." =)

Have a good day!

A simple card...but I think it's cute! =)

I'm linking this card to CASology Challenge: Week 61 Silhouette (see what I did with the word in the post title?) =)


Thanks for stopping by!

When I saw this challenge at Moxie Fab World (Tuesday Trigger: Honoring Ombre), I knew exactly which stamp I wanted to use!!! The problem was making the card...but I did it!


I used the generational stamping technique to achieve the ombre look on the cake layers (I cut the "layers" out and adhered them with foam tape on my cake base). I stamped a woodgrain doily for the cake and added a bow pick. Then, I added some glitter gel to the frosting.


I also curled the ends of the banners for some more dimension and added some sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!
