hello Autumn!

 Good morning! I just realized we only have one week left of September!  How did that happen? LOL I wanted to make sure to share the rest of my September stencil projects from:


This one is called Waning Leaves, don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off:


I used Lindy's Magicals for everything on this one - so first I used the magicals through my stencil by simply sprinkling, spritzing lightly with water, and letting dry. I then used the same Magicals like watercolors and just painted them on some scrap watercolor paper. Once dry, I die cut the leaf sprig and the word "hello" and then used the last piece to apply a strip across the middle of the card. I tore the edges of the panel and attached to a green card base.I wish you could see the sparkle on this!!!

Enjoy Life - All Dressed Up New Release: Crown of Hearts

Good morning!  The Dressy FB Girls have some more inspiration for you today using our new release images!


I used Crown of Hearts. This was a retired digi that I saw someone else use and I asked our fearless leader, Wendy, to bring her back. She made a few updates and I got my wish - I'm very lucky to be a part of this awesome design team! Isn't this digi just adorable? I loved her so much that I made 2 cards with her.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Hello Autumn

Crafter's Cafe - AG/Optional Lots and Lots of Colors

I colored her with Copics and used some pretty Fall papers and nesting arch dies from Unity Stamp Co. I added a die cut feather and some little sentiment stickers from a Tim Holtz sticker book.

I created my background with Pewter Mica Spray on a piece of watercolor paper - I sprayed with water and let it drip while drying with my heat tool. I printed out the Crown Hearts digi (All Dressed Up) large and used my deckled edge circle nesting die from Mama Elephant to die cut just the top part of her. I colored her with Copics and Stickles and added some rhinestone stickers. The hearts, word "hugs", and larger deckled edge circle behind her were die cut from a scrap piece of watercolor paper that I had distressed with Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink. I sponged the edges of the hearts with a little bit of black ink. Peace.

Calls Answered Day or Night

 Good morning - wanted to get this posted quickly for the:

I thought a witch on a broom was a clever transportation idea!  ;)

I used Mica Spray Stains for the background, Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink for the witch, embossed with sparkly clear embossing powder. I cut her out with nesting arch dies from Unity Stamp Co.

Happy Owl-O-Ween

 Good morning! I woke up after horrible dreams and it's such a crappy way to start your day. :( But I've got a busy one so no time to sit around and mope! Let's start by entering this little tag below into the following challenges:

Whimsy Stamps - September Halloween Challenge

Two Old Bats - Anything Halloween Goes

Tag-alongs and ATC's - AG/Optional Circles

The Outlawz September - Anything But a Card

The Outlawz Main Linky - September

I used one of the dies from the Tag Trio by Gina K Designs to die cut the tag from a piece of watercolor paper. I spritzed it with Pewter Mica Spray Stain and let dry. I took a scrap of watercolor paper that had some red ink on it and applied some thick black embossing powder to the torn edge, then attached that to the side of the tag. I stamped the spiderwebs, sentiment, and owl from the Owl-O-Ween STAMPtember set (collab between Whimsy & SSS) directly on the tag with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored the owl with Copics and added some black rhinestone stickers. Peace.
