Here are the cards I designed for the blog hop.
Card #1
The panel behind the birds uses paintable wallpaper. I alcohol inked that square panel and then used a Versamark pen and applied the ink to those raised areas surrounding that panel, and applied Bronze Rose embossing powder and heat set. The chickadees were stamped in brown dye ink and colored with Copic markers and mounted over the wallpaper. I made those panels behind the dark brown cardstock using Color Wash on watercolor paper, and just mounted them on the front of the 6X6 card.
Card #2
Look at this scarecrow, out in the field in the moonlit night. That's a full moon rising in the background. I love this scarecrow, he has so much character doesn't he?? I masked off the moon, then I brayered the blue night sky and the green field onto the cardstock. Next I added Glisten embossing powder to the moon to set it off more. I added the fence and the glistened pumpkins using dimensional foam. Lastly added that cute scarecrow and the sentiment and here is your 2nd card.To continue the hop, please click here to visit Donna Maligno's (also known as DeeDee) blog who will be sharing her spin on Autumn!

Barb, love the warmth of the bird card. You've captured the golden feeling of Fall!
ReplyDeleteBarb, your cards are beautiful. I especially love the bird card--colors are really fall! Great job.
ReplyDeleteWow! That fence is the cutest especially because it's not perfectly straight. The wall paper background with AIs is a great idea! Lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are wonderful, Barbara! Love the chickadees (one of my fave images) and the scarecrow in the moonlight is perfect for fall.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use wallpaper samples! I'm putting all my eggs into one basket - Donna's got the birthday prizes!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I love the first card, it is stunning and really catches the feeling of fall colors in your layers. I think the prize is in Sandy's basket.
ReplyDeleteBarbara thanks for all the inspiration in your beautiful cards! Fun that you incorporated the tile! And yes, I haven't pulled out color wash in a while...great reminder. I think you may be stashing the birthday prize basket too.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, your cards are gorgeous! The bird set is popular. Take care,
