One-Layer Fall Card


Today's Impression Obsession challenge is all about fall cards. The picture of my fall card makes the finishing spray look a little odd and doesn't really show the gold metallic spray very well. Here is a close up of the shine:


To make the card, I masked off areas with some Eclipse Tape strips and then sponged the card with Tea Dye, Old Paper, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink.  I then stamped the wheat and saying from the CL406 We Gather Together clear set using brown Versafine ink.  I then colored the wheat with assorted fall Prismacolor pencils (Henna, Goldenrod, Jasmine, Limepeel, Chocolate).  To finish the card, I spritzed the whole thing with gold shimmer spray.

Gift For You

It is getting to be that time of year again when I am thinking of ideas for small Christmas presents. I love to give little tokens to lots of people for the holidays, but I really need to stretch every dollar. I used a sale at the grocery store as well as a coupon to buy a package of tea for fifty cents (tea goes on sale all the time so just look for deals). I chose peppermint because it definitely says "holiday" to me, and it smells so good!

To decorate the gift, I used a double tag with the Cover a Card Thick and Thin (CC008) background on the bottom and a red tag on the top. I then embellished the red tag with a peppermint image from the Leigh Hannan Holidays clear set (CL157) and embossed the saying (My Cup of Tea A5511) with white powder. The tags attached to the package of tea with a white ribbon, red button, and peppermint colored bakers twine.  Here is a closer view:
