Make It Monday #31: Creating Backgrounds With Non-background Stamps Participants - Card 2

This card is made from Autumn Abundance.  I love this stamp set.  This is the first one I have done in autumn colors,

More Labor Day Cards

It is a shame to stay inside on such a beautiful day but what can I say, I love playing in my craft studio and my window is right in front of me so I can enjoy the outdoors from inside too.  I spent time outside the other two days of the weekend.

These 3 card were ones I made using the SAF cards as a sample but putting a little different spin on them.  The first two are from Forest Friends and the 3rd is from Simple Sunflower.

Another card - Make It Monday #30: Colored Pencils -

Another MIM card blending with color pencils.  I really like this technique.  I used another stamp from the Stampin Up set that I have to color and then paired it with the PTI Tea for Two stamp and die set.  Purple is one of my favorite colors as you may have guessed.  This one came together so easily.  Thanks for stopping by...

Make It Monday #30: Colored Pencils - Two more cards

-

These are the other two cards I made on Friday.

Two more cards for the MIM blending color pencils.  The first is Autumn Aubundance stamp set and the sentiment is from Iconic Images.  I scored around the sentiment which you may not be able to see in the picture.  The second card is from a Stampin Up wooden set that I use quite a bit. I love these tulips in a pot.  I used the die cut from Sending You and the Background Basics - Gingham. I also scored this card around the edges.  I used the color pencils to add a little color to the background of the paper so it wasn't so stark white

LABOR DAY WEEKEND - FRIDAY FUN

I decided to make Labor Day weekend one day longer and took off Friday.  I was able to run some errands in the morning and then came home and spent from about 1:30 to 8:00 in my craft studio, (my BFF, Col says we should call it a studio rather than a room because it sounds more professional).  Only made 4 cards, wow.  Struggled with a couple, but made two for MIM that I will showcase next.  I never get to spend that much time in my studio because I work, so it was so much fun.  I have been reorganizing it and am quite happy with how it is turning out. 

These two cards I made with the Sending You stamp set.  I made my own DP with the smaller stamps.  Stamped some leaves on the yellow with Versamark in the second card.  These are the two I stuggled a bit with, but they turned out ok.
