Fall has arrived!

Fall has arrived and with it more time to craft.  I didn't realize how consuming living on an acreage would be, I love it but there is seriously no extra time for crafting.  This morning there was frost on the ground, thankfully I brought in the tomatoes yesterday.  I also made three cards which hasn't happened for months; it was hard to get my creative juices flowing!

For these cards I used Photo paper and embossed the background with clear embossing powder.  I then sprayed the paper with ink sprays made up of Stampin Up's ink refills and rubbing alcohol. I used Tempting Turquoise, old olive and daffodil delight. On the card below I used crystal effects to make water drops.

It's hard to tell from these pictures but the finally effect looks like a photo because I used photo paper.  Do not make your ink sprays with water, water doesn't react well with photo paper.

It is Wednesday again, If you want to join the fun hop on over to Stamping Ground.

The past few weeks I have been just putting my desk picture on but then I have people say they couldn't see my cards. So this week I added pictures of the cards.

I have been going through a transition, I have sold Stampin Up products for quite a few years like maybe 9 and that was the reason for my blog.

When we moved last September I lost my clientele but I haven't wanted to let go of my demo status.

I said all that to say I think I am ready to let go.

I bought three stamp sets that weren't Stampin Up, on Sunday and that is huge for me, I never buy any thing but SU.

I was so excited to make these cards with Tim Holtz stamps,

it brought new life into my card making!

I had way too much fun making Guy cards and I usually hate making guy cards.

I used Gesso, ink sprays, stencils and lots of other fun stuff.
