Happy Birthday Fall Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Happy first day of Fall, my favorite time of the year!! And a special Happy Birthday to my little sister, who unfortunately, won't be getting this card today, as I sent it out late. So hopefully she isn't seeing this right now. Lol!

     I made her this card inspired by this beautiful Sketch #131 @ Cardabilities!

   

     After misting some kraft cardstock, I used a doily stencil to apply some yellow texture paste. Then I painted the round chipboard, and stamped the lines with the Punctuation stamp from Red Rubber Designs. For the birthday sentiment I used the Savvy Sayings stamp, then wrapped it with some fibers, adding a couple of buttons inherited from my late grandma and great grandma. 

     I inked and sprayed the green scallops and added some brown beads to them. To make the leaves, I inked some white cardstock with Distress Inks, stamped them with the Filled With Blessings stamp, fussy cut them, and curled them up for dimension, adding them to the hand stitched branches. Since Autumn leaves is the theme for the Fantasy Stampers Challenge, I'll also be entering it there.

Inspirational #121 ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

    Today's new challenge @ Red Rubber Inspirationals is More Precious than Pearls, with Inspirational #121. I made this card for my husband, and used pearls on the flower centers and Liquid Pearls to make the heart.

 

This beautiful sketch #99 from Cardabilities was just the inspiration I was looking for!

    I started by stamping Well Defined Backgrounds onto white tissue paper,and applied it with gesso onto grey cardstock. Then I spritzed it with Pewter Sheer Shimmer Spray. I used Punctuation to stamp the red border using VersaMagic Red Magic Ink. I also used So Splattered, I Heart You, and Pressed Flowers. The sentiment was stamped using A Thousand Thanks, using the dimensional banner technique for the May Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com. Finally I stamped the flowers with Medallions. Here's a closer look!

Bumper 2 Bumper ~ Red Rubber Designs

This page was a lot of fun to work on, and I got real messy using my inks, stencils, stamps, and gesso!!

I was so inspired by sketch #2 for the Monthly Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook.com and would love to use it again!

I thought the design was perfect to showcase some of  my Red Rubber Designs stamps, background soup, build-a-background, circles of love, punctuation,  filled with blessings, and so splattered. For all of the inking on here I used Palette Inks (cote d'azure and sunflower) and Brilliance (starlite silver), which was also used to make the pinwheels.

Here's a closer look at one of the pinwheels that I made from white cardstock. I used an old silver washer for the center, which I plopped right around a blue enamel dot from My Mind's Eye (handsome collection).

Here's the journaling which I did in Photoshop.
