Inkspirational #352 and Cardz 4 Guyz #378

I got a top pick with my card for the last Inkspirational challenge and as I try to always do, I'm back with a card for the current challenge - Seasonal.

I saw a technique with a leaf embossing folder so I ordered one from Spellbinders and now I can't remember the technique.  I still love the folder so I tried my own technique which unfortunately is barely visible in the photo.  I inked the raised side with Lisa Horton Copper ink, ran the folder through with  C9 Nutmeg to embed the ink into the leaves.  Two leaves from Honey Bee's Fall Foliage were cut from copper foil and a sentiment from HB's Sweater Weather was embossed with copper to finish it off. 

Cardz 4 Guyz is looking for Autumn/Fall cards so my card will go there too.

ETA:  Lisa mentioned my card would be good for The Paper Players challenge and since it seems their definition of CAS is more lenient than mine I'll send my card there.

Cardz 4 Guyz #376

I made this card for a Design Team challenge that was changed but it works great for the Summer Holiday challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.  

All the images and sentiments are from Ellen Hutson's Bear Ware.  The grill, basket and sun were colored with Altenew artist markers. The bear was cut from Kraft and his aviator glasses from holographic paper. The background was masked and colored with Distress Inks.

Cardz 4 Guyz #373

As I'm always in need of masculine cards, I like to enter challenges that focus on the men in my life and Cardz 4 Guyz is one of those.  This challenge is Shade of Blue and I had just the stencil to make that happen.

The stencil is Kaleidoscope from PFS, colored with Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky and Uncharted Mariner Distress Inks.  The panel and sentiment label are bordered with navy and the BetterPress sentiment from SB is also in blue, cut with an MFT oval.  

It promises to warm up here today which I'm looking forward to.  Thanks for dropping by to visit.

Cardz 4 Guyz #371

I took advantage of the Cardz 4 Guyz challenge "Body of Water" to make another card with Spellbinders/WPlus9 Guiding Light dies. 

I thought it would be fun to make a brick lighthouse so I embossed some PTI Terra Cotta Tile with Altenew's Brick Wall folder, adding some Distress Ink in the creases and along the edge.   A couple of grays pounced with Hickory Smoke make up the rock and Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean were used for the background.   The sentiment is from PFS.
