Thinking of You and Giving Thanks

Hello, Friends! It's Kren here again

with JFF Stamps and fall Stamptangle images.

Today I used Elm Leaf D3858, Oak Leaf F3859, and Maple Leaf E3860.

Using a multi-colored ink pad, a sentiment die, and a banner die was all that was needed.

November is a month when we give thanks for all our blessings, 

even though I know we are thankful every day.

I made a set of "thinking of you" cards that will be sent to 

those who are always there when needed.

What a blessing to have people like that in my life!

Fall Leaves

Hello, Friends!  It's Kren here.
Thanks for stopping by A Fourth Life

so I can share cards created with Just For Fun Stamps.

Today I am going to share cards using Stamptangle images
Elm Leaf  D3858, 
Oak Leaf F3859, and
Maple Leaf E3860.
You know how I love leaves.

It all started with an acrylic background of multiple colors of paint, swiped onto card stock.  Then I dry brushed the paper with gesso to mute and soften the colors.  Here is a close up of one of the backgrounds.

Then I heat embossed the leaves and some extra card stock with either white embossing powder or granite ep.  I colored the leaves with Twinkling H20's.
And here is how the cards turned out.

I love to make my own background papers and you might want 

to try swiping some  acrylics too.
