Simple Stories Vintage Blessings Autumn Layout ~ FotoBella DT

     Hello, and welcome to my blog! I originally printed this 8" X 10" photo, that I took in South Lake Tahoe, for a different project that luckily didn't work out, because I love how it looks here with the Simple Stories Vintage Blessings Collection from FotoBella.com.

     The quote was cut from the Vintage Blessings Collection Kit, and inked along the edges with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink, using Ground Espresso Distress Ink on the paper behind it. Then I added the acorn from the Bits & Pieces, and the Chipboard flower on top. 

     As I looked through my Bits & Pieces, I came up with the title, highlighting "Autumn" against the yellow texture paste that I applied behind it, with my Bo Bunny Palette Knife.  

     The branch and tab that I stamped with the date, is also included with the Bits & Pieces. 

     With my Blending Tool, I applied Wild Honey Distress Ink to the edges of the striped paper, adding the tree sticker that comes in the Vintage Blessings Collection Kit to the corner. 

     Thanks for looking, and shop FotoBella.com to pick up this beautiful fall collection, and so much more.  

     

Simple Stories Vintage Blessings Layout ~ FotoBella DT

    Hello! Today I have a layout that I scrapped of some fall foliage featuring the Simple Stories Vintage Blessings Collection from FotoBella.com.

     The larger birds with the quote was cut 4" X 6" from one of the papers in the Vintage Blessings Collection Kit, and inked along the edges with Fossilized Amber, Rusty Hinge, andAged Mahogany Distress Inks. The smaller bird was added from the Bits & Pieces package. 

     Don't throw away the strips from the ends of your papers! I used a couple of them to frame the aqua paper, inking the edges of the plaid strip with Ground Espresso Distress Ink.

     Then I added a couple of strips of Vintage Blessings Grateful Washi Tape to the top of my page.

      For some flair and dimension, I finished it off with a few pieces of Chipboard.

     Thanks for looking, and shop FotoBella.com for this collection and many more!

Fantastic Fall Layout ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Crisp leaves with beautiful changing colors is just one of the many reasons why I love Fall so much! This layout features the Luscious Leaves Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp from Red Rubber Designs made into a wreath.

   

     As soon as I saw this fabulous sketch @ The Studio Challenges, I knew it would be perfect for my photo! 

     I started by masking some circle reinforcement labels sprayed with Hag's Wart Orange, Cajun Carnelian Red, Mission Bells Brown, Black Orchid Silver, and Blazing Black from Lindy's Stamp Gang, based on the October Color Challenge. 

     Then I applied Prima Black Gesso onto the Well Rounded Stencil from TCW to create the other circles.

      

     I stamped the title and background along the right side with the Autumn Swirls Unmounted Rubber Stamp from Red Rubber Designs, embossed with Lindy's Midnight Copper Obsidian Embossing Powder. The tag was cut from kraft cardstock, covered with Prima Clear Gesso, and sprayed with Yellow Rose of Texas , Misson Bells Brown, and Hag's Wart Orange. I finished it up with machine stitching, tied off with some copper and rust fibers. 

      To make the wreath, I did a lot of fussy cutting, stamping my leaves with the Luscious Leaves Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp , embossed with Lindy's Midnight Pewter Embossing Powder onto various colors of cardstock colored with Hag's Wart Orange, Mission Bells Brown, and Cajun Carnelian Red sprays. Then I hand-stitched the circle with black and orange embroidery thread for this months twist in the Sewing Challenge that I host @ Scrapbook. com. 

Thanks for stopping by!
